Strengthening climate resilience through an approach based on care, cultural rights, and social innovation: case of the communities of the Kerkennah islands

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how, in the face of systemic challenges posed by climate change, triangulating the contributions of theoretical approaches based on care, cultural rights, and circular social innovation should enable a response to urgent territorial resilience challenges. Preliminary results from ongoing action-research on the Kerkennah Islands (which show strong symptoms of emblematic contemporary crises) suggest that reconnecting with mutual care practices and endogenous knowledge could constitute essential levers to rethink community regeneration and development strategies founded on local and participatory roots.
