#Adaptation gets treated as technical work when it's extremely political. Someone decides which communities are defended, which regions are given up, and who pays. France's mega-basin enforcers show how such centralization triggers organised resistance: https://climatejustice.social/@breton/112934411029720286 Whatever gets planned has to be delivered inside worsening instability. Budgets raided by the latest emergency, civil services running on depleted trust, supply chains competing against reconstruction elsewhere. Researchers call this derailment risk, and every plan should account for it: https://scri.org.uk/publications/report-derailment-risk … #climatePolicy #adaptation #climateChange #livability #policy #climate #riskAssessment #derailment #climateEmergency #agriculture
