“…Caring for the well-being of extended family may even take precedence over household obligations. Many expressions of material interdependence among Indigenous populations predate the explicitly financial form but are maintained through an "in-kind" form of interdependence, such as sharing the harvest of traditional foods to ensure collective food security [39]. Whether trading government food benefit allotments for cash or non-food goods, exchanging home repair services [1], or providing dependent care, FI may be characterized more by interdependent relationships than strict financial transactions.…”

Financial interdependence refers to the practice of sharing money as an expression of mutuality. Forms of financial interdependence are often rooted in cultural norms and values and may be carried out as a commitment to the well-being of the family through financial transfers, practiced as informal savings groups, or even established as legally constructed agreements. Financial interdependence can result in either beneficial or harmful outcomes, depending upon the nature of the relationships and the available resources. As a social and cultural concept, it has been generally neglected in the discourse on financial independence, yet it has important implications for society as a basis for collective prosperity.

“…In the northern Bering Sea/Bering Strait region, the non-commercial acquisition and utilization of diverse marine wildlife are essential to the nutritional, cultural, and economic well-being of coastal communities (Figure 7) [29,30]. The recent regional reduction in the duration, extent, and quality of sea ice continues to cascade into an ecosystem transition based on newly arrived cod predation on lower trophic levels, resulting in widespread concern by coastal residents.…”

There are multiple extreme events underway in the Arctic that are beyond previous records: rain in Greenland, Alaska weather variability, and ecosystem reorganizations in the Barents and the northern Bering Sea associated with climate change and sea-ice loss. Such unique extreme events represent a philosophical challenge for interpretation, i.e., a lack of statistical basis, as well as important information for regional adaptation to climate change. These changes are affecting regional food security, human/wildlife health, cultural activities, and marine wildlife conservation. Twenty years ago, the Arctic was more resilient to climate change than now, as sea ice had a broader extent and was three times thicker than today. These new states cannot be assigned probabilities because one cannot a priori conceive of these states. They often have no historical analogues. A way forward for adaptation to future extremes is through scenario/narrative approaches; a recent development in climate change policy is through decision making under deep uncertainty (DMDU).

“…The role of social capital is seen as a significant facilitator in building resilience strategies to climatic changes (Brinkman et al, 2022;Hsueh, 2019). Though studies have documented the role of social capital in the recovery process during disasters and crises (e.g., Aldrich and Meyer, 2015;Roque et al, 2020;Harte et el., 2009;Ludin et al, 2019;Straub et al, 2020), the social dimensions of resilience contributing to social capital in response to climate change have rarely been studied.…”

Social dimensions of resilience and climate change: a rapid review of theoretical approaches

The social dimensions of resilience and their relationship with social capital have received little attention in climate change research. This article aims to provide an understanding of the structural, cognitive, and human rights-based interconnection of social capital and the social dimension of resilience. This article provides a rapid review of published studies on the social dimensions of resilience in the context of climate change. The search yielded 26 articles, 18 of which were related to the social dimension of resilience and were selected for review. Based on the findings, I elaborate on social capital, social-psychological, and right-based approaches to theorize social capital. The findings indicate a link between social capital and the social dimensions of resilience. The structural foundation for social capital is provided by the interconnection of bonding, bridging, and linking. The social psychological approach is linked to cognitive social capital that contributes to collective psycho-social resilience. The human rightsbased approach educates about the social dimension of resilience through the lens of equity and power. To survive and thrive in environmental threats, communal solidarity requires the social interconnectedness formed by all three forms of social capital integrating social system, social values, reciprocal engagement, and inclusive social actions. This article provides theoretical knowledge about three dimensions of social capital, elaborating on the interconnections and need for theoretical triangulation in climate change studies.
