My review of two books about the evolution of maladaptation and human imperfection is now out as Early Alert in the journal Evolution @sse_evolution
Enjoy!

The @glenpeters.bsky.social @mattburgess1.bsky.social exchange on the economic development / CO2 mitigation nexus has me recalling #malmitigation and #maladaptation discussions awhile back.
Recalling discussions of both #maladaptation and what I call #malmitigation. Both absolutely exist and are often intertwined. Great #sustainwhat conversation on this awhile back with @stacydvandeveer.bsky.social @geoffdabelko.bsky.social @kimsuiseeya.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=oGANa0FP_QY
"Intended state" (or sustainable w/in a system) = external influence, so how should we describe it arising from internal dynamics alone?
It sounds like you're just describing evolution, but not sure what the specific subject or context is here.

It was a privilege to share my research at the @adaptationfutures.bsky.social conference on #BeyondAdaptation—#Justice and #Maladaptation.
Key message: Need to examine the power and knowledge underpinning the scalar dimension of maladaptation.

Just attended an amazing talk by @lisaschipper.bsky.social
on adaptation and maladaptation. Brilliant insights, thought-provoking and timely. Grateful for voices like hers in the climate space. 🌍✨ #ClimateAdaptation #Maladaptation

Love this new paper led by my former PhD student S. Sutcliffe showing how different dimensions of #adaptivecapacity interact to shape diverse #adaptation outcomes - with an important focus on when a *lack of* certain capacities force #maladaptation.

There will always be compromises, mistakes snd losers in the #transition, but the risk of #maladaptation should not be underestimated or minimised in public policy or investment decisions. apnews.com/article/cali...
Curating transformation can reduce the risk of #maladaptation that is inherent in preservation-based approaches that are unrealistic in the face of large #climatechange impacts. www.nature.com/articles/s44...
Yes! Hugely important to make CO2 mitigation policy equitable, as Johan Rockstrom, @geoffdabelko.bsky.social @stacydvandeveer.bsky.social @destenie.bsky.social and many others have stressed on #sustainwhat. The alternative is #malmitigation (ugly twin of #maladaptation) Background in thread 1/
Fascinating paper on resistance to #adaptation and #maladaptation to #climate change. “By adopting a more nuanced view of the state [we] can gain insights into how adaptation and resistance to it are enrolled in larger struggles over authority, legitimacy, state/society relationships and the future”
4/ Now also the work on #maladaptation was beginning to emerge. More on maladaptation is in the thread below. It felt like it was desperate to get some clarity on how adaptation projects were leading to maladaptation (I have a separate thread on maladaptation that I will import as well, Part IV)
"[#COP28] Hon. @MediaNiue highlighted the profound social implications of #SeaLevelRise impacts, especially on the most vulnerable populations.
Effective #adaptation responses should consider key elements:
