Climares Blog

A socio-legal perspective on climate resilience can help to get a better understanding of the role of state and non-state actors, policies and legal frameworks in everyday practices of resilience. This blog introduces the socio-legal perspective, presents legal pluralism as a key concept, and suggests some questions for further exploration.

This blog recounts the experience of a researcher whose stay in Morocco with the Climares project was much more than an academic experience. From the moment he arrived, solidarity and kindness laid the foundations for a close-knit community. Challenges, such as the language barrier and the demands of the courses, were overcome through mutual aid, patience and support. Shared moments of discussion, communal meals and simple rituals strengthened cohesion and a sense of belonging. Even beyond physical presence, the bonds endured, illustrating that Climares not only trained minds, but also wove hearts together, creating a multidisciplinary family based on trust, solidarity and listening.
