Climate change is a global phenomenon that requires collective action from responsible citizens of planet Earth. As we navigate this challenging era, we must embrace the opportunity to actively contribute to the co-creation of actionable knowledge and solutions. The traditional approach to adaptation may no longer suffice, as the world faces complex and interconnected challenges.

In response, this book explores a diverse range of adaptive pathways to climate change and its impacts. It presents an adaptive innovation model that is grounded in core values of justice, care, and solidarity. Through collaborative conversations and dialogic processes, this model showcases how diverse actors can work together to make informed choices and take necessary actions to enhance the safety and security of their lived environment.

The book is rooted in action research, with the vision of enabling the design and implementation of people-centered ethical adaptation projects. It will be of interest to social workers, social scientists, development practitioners, social work educators, and students who are engaged in the fields of climate justice, adaptation, social innovation, and sustainable livelihoods. The stories shared in this book will inspire and motivate professionals across various disciplines to engage with action research as a method of innovation, reflection, and practice.

Let us come together, united by our shared responsibility, to address the challenges of climate change and create a more resilient and sustainable future for generations to come.
