The Manager Climate Corps:Collaborative Research Pathways across Diverse Worldviews

First ISISA Global Island Studies Webinar

Presenters: Scott Laursen and Bethany Morrison
Abstract: The Manager Climate Corps is a manager-driven research program that unites local scientists with existing networks of natural and cultural resource managers to address place-based climate adaptation needs. Developed through the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo and the USGS Pacific Islands Climate Adaptation Science Center, the MCC has universal applications in that the program fosters in-person relationships and trust, and applies multiple knowledge forms across diverse world views. Island communities containing strong person-to-person and person-to-nature relationships may find applicable lessons within MCC’s development process. We will present this process, research collaborations, and a case study having on-the-ground policy impacts.
