This paper considers narratives of existential threat as a call for more research into ontological security. Ontological security need not be considered a concept separate from adaptation policy and practice, although currently it is not recognised as a risk that can be reduced or managed. Indeed, a policy gap looms w hen ‘existential threats’ of climate change displacement are presumed to be unsolvable. Furthermore, there is very little understanding of what might advance ontological security among already displaced people, and the many more who are at risk of displacement and are aware of the risk. This paper discusses ontological insecurity and ontological security, through an exploration of voluntary immobility in Pacific Island communities grappling with climate change impacts to territory. It explores how voluntary immobility may advance ontological security in the Pacific Islands in the face of these impacts. The paper concludes that ‘existential threats’ associated with climate change displacement can and should be more widely addressed by policies and planning processes that recognise and advance ontological security.","PeriodicalId":244959,"journal":{"name":"Dealing with climate change on small islands: Towards effective and sustainable adaptation","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115379078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although research on SIDS under climate change is gaining momentum, lack of data and research capacity remains a major problem. Similarly, little is known about the interactions between poverty and responses to climate change. In this chapter, we conduct a case study exploring how coastal communities on Rabi Island, Fiji, are affected by climate change. We identify reactive coping strategies to climate variability and change, and explore the extent to which these responses are conducive to climate change adaptation, adopting the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework and using the CRiSTAL tool. We find that the majority of shocks are of a climatic or weather-related nature. We also find that the communities tend to adopt sustainable coping strategies in response to climatic shocks. However, the increased frequency of such events, and the disproportionate burden on lower-income households, can act as barriers for the effective uptake of adaptation measures. This study can potentially inform local and regional policy as it pinpoints possible areas of intervention where strategic activities could support adaptation strategies to address climate change vulnerabilities.","PeriodicalId":244959,"journal":{"name":"Dealing with climate change on small islands: Towards effective and sustainable adaptation","volume":"276 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124446928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
