Non-self-governing territories face additional barriers due to their liminal political statuses being neither independent nations nor fully incorporated states. This causes territories and the peoples who live there to have minimal self-determination in decision-making processes. Indigenous communities in territories are further marginalized by power structures that favor Western scientific-technical climate solutions over Indigenous ontological approaches. To foster just adaptation, scholars studying non-self-governing territories must consider these forms of marginalization. This review focuses on the five U.S.-controlled unincorporated territories. Through a systematic review, I examine whether and how climate adaptation research on U.S. territories discusses the following three themes: (1) colonialism and political status, (2) justice, and (3) Indigenous knowledge. The analysis reveals that while justice is discussed in most studies, colonialism and political status are less commonly grappled with, and Indigenous knowledge is highly understudied. Further, different concepts of justice are incorporated to varying degrees with emphasis being placed on recognition, procedural, and distributive justice, while restorative and transformative justice are rarely considered. By analyzing the current state of climate change adaptation research on U.S. territories, I produce insights into the omissions and inclusions of key themes in existing research. I argue that adaptation scholars must pay greater attention to non-self-governing territories where colonialism and climate change are reproducing injustices. Finally, I propose new directions for adaptation research on colonized islands and territories more broadly.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54269,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Development","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 101353"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145049463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To establish the full benefits of SG beyond its primary intent of providing a religious and cultural heritage-based protected forest, we examined the potential co-benefits of SG. Consequently, the aboveground biomass (AGB), belowground biomass (BGB), amount of carbon, soil physiochemical properties in three land-use systems were empirically measured. Plantation and Cropland with scattered trees (CLST) were used as controls to the SG. The land use systems examined were from three communities in the Guinea Savanna zone of Ghana. The plot technique was used for the vegetation sampling. From the results, it was established that SG recorded the highest AGB, BGB and carbon stock with 620.6 Mg/ha, 161.4 Mg/ha and 391.0 MgC/ha respectively while the carbon stock for CLST was 341.7 MgC/ha and 124.8 MgC/ha for plantation. Similarly, SG had the highest soil carbon stock (81.5 tC/ha), compared to 66.1 tC/ha for plantation and 44.4 tC/ha for CLST. Finally, the paper then presents a decision-outcome framework, highlighting the dual pathways of intended and unintended environmental externalities for the establishment of SG. The paper demonstrates and suggests that the SG do not just deliver religious-based and socio-cultural-based (intended consequence), but they also generate co-benefits outcomes (unintended benefits) through its provision of eco-system services and helping in enhancing climate change mitigation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54269,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Development","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 101351"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145010558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intersection of gender dynamics and climate-induced migration presents unique challenges and opportunities that warrant further comprehensive investigation due to limited understanding of current issues facing specific localities and communities. Available literature is very vast, however, fails to explain definitive areal challenges and issues particularly dealing with unique gender inequalities. Migration also fuels competition for access to ecosystem services in border districts in the West-African Sub-region, where population is increasing due to migration against climate change effects. Using a mixed-methods approach and a survey of 250 respondents and 20 interview participants, in the Tatale/Sanguli District of the Northern Region of Ghana, this study finds that, prominently, access to ecosystem services in the local district largely depends on gender and migration status, and women migrants are more disadvantaged than any other groups. Women migrants only enjoy cultural services at par with their men colleagues and disproportionately higher than indigenous men, nonetheless, still less than their indigenous women counterparts in the district. The significance of the study is to offer a better understanding on migration due to climate change to highlight and direct interventions for access to resources and promote gender equity. This research therefore contributes to climate-migration studies by highlighting gender-specific impacts to inform policy and foster inclusive, resilient communities in climate-vulnerable regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54269,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Development","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 101349"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145060375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
