DIGITAL CLIMATE FUTURES – A decolonial and justice perspective on digitalised climate change adaptation was a 3-year research project, completed in March 2026, based at Lancaster University and Bath Spa University, with funding from the Leverhulme Trust (grant number RPG-2022-200).
The project investigated how the digital has been entering climate adaptation – a theme that is surprisingly underexplored and under-theorised.
To fill this gap, the project developed a novel theoretically-driven and empirically grounded research programme that for the first time combines a justice angle on ‘smart’ climate adaptation with decolonial approaches to the digital.
