“…This helps address capacity constraints, better build more suitable sustainable livelihoods and account for interconnected socialecological values. This consolidates other calls made for community-based adaptation (see Forsyth (2013), McNamara et al (2020), Vincent (2023), Westoby et al (2020)).…”

As the impacts of climate change increase, Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in particular shall face increasingly significant adaptation challenges. Past climate adaptation efforts within SIDS have had limited success. As such, the purpose of this systematic literature review has been to identify areas of importance for facilitating climate adaptation, particularly within Small Island Developing States (SIDS), and more specifically, to assess the extent to which participatory justice within decision-making processes is recognised as an important component of climate adaptation through the lens of water management. This review process utilised the SPIDER tool to guide the literature search across SCOPUS, Web of Science and EBSCO host databases, generating 495 publications that were reduced to a total of 70 sources guided by PRISMA, informing the review’s results and discussion. Thematic analysis of the selected studies was applied, utilising the Values-Rules-Knowledge framework. Through this analysis, five principles were created and comprise the major conclusions of this review: (1) ensuring community engagement, (2) expanding available options through local experimentation, (3) ensuring that monitoring and evaluation of adaptation initiatives are taken seriously, (4) adopting decision-making mechanisms that are systems-oriented and inclusive, and (5) investing only if there is a long-term commitment to protecting SIDS. It is hoped that these principles can serve as a comprehensive guide for funding agencies, applied projects and research aiding climate adaptation within SIDS.

“…The promise: A core component of LLA that differentiates it from earlier approaches to adaptation such as ''community-based adaptation'' is the idea that ''local'' approaches offer benefits that non-local approaches do not (Vincent 2023). For adaptation to be truly ''locally led''; however, we must interrogate the meaning of ''local''.…”

Locally led adaptation (LLA) has recently gained importance against top-down planning practices that often exclude the lived realities and priorities of local communities and create injustices at the local level. The promise of LLA is that adaptation would be defined, prioritised, designed, monitored, and evaluated by local communities themselves, enabling a shift in power to local stakeholders, resulting in more effective adaptation interventions. Critical reflections on the intersections of power and justice in LLA are, however, lacking. This article offers a nuanced understanding of the power and justice considerations required to make LLA useful for local communities and institutions, and to resolve the tensions between LLA and other development priorities. It also contributes to a further refinement of LLA methodologies and practices to better realise its promises. Ultimately, we argue that the utility of the LLA framing in promoting climate justice and empowering local actors needs to be tested empirically.

“…As a result of the universally adopted technocratic discourse of adaptation, scientists, policymakers, and practitioners have experienced ongoing challenges in (1) producing a common understanding of what successful adaptation is 5 ; (2) facilitating community-based and locally-led processes to adapt 6 , 7 ; and (3) establishing concrete adaptation goals, particularly at the local level 8 – 10 . For example, goals related to ‘equity’ or ‘justice’ will remain useless unless we adequately factor in context-specific vulnerabilities, risks, perceptions, resources, politics, and history 11 .…”
