Thanks Illan,
As you can see I have only to date been checking with Australian
Councils (and in one case higher Government - which had no examples in
their area).
But I'd be interested to try some overseas councils too.
Re "Physical evidence of climate change has appeared in some
communities being forced to move due to localised environmental
changes" ----- where, would you suggest? Can you just give me one
or two pre-publication to go on with.
I image that in places with melting permafrost peoples homes might be
sinking and some places WILL simply have to be abandoned .. at least
in the short term.
I know of such things in general but haven't looked into any specific
locations.
PNG places I'd not heard of myself at all.
Re "there is a paucity of high quality, high impact peer-reviewed
literature on the topic of 'climate change resilience' " --- yep,
someone else writing that, not me.
Cheers, John Byrnes

Physical evidence of climate change has appeared in some communities
being forced to move due to localised environmental changes which,
according to the literature, can be attributed to climate change only.
I recently completed a review of attribution of migration to climate
change which will be published in the next few months in _The
Lancet_ (as part of a wider study) in which we list the specific
communities and their current populations. I shall aim to post here
the link to the paper once it is published. Communities for which
there is evidence that they are being forced to move due to climate
change only are in Alaska, Louisiana, and PNG. Communities in which
climate change is a significant or deciding factor in their ongoing
decision to move are not listed specifically, but appear in many
places around the world. Background information from a small islands
developing states perspective can be seen in my publications listed
at http://www.islandvulnerability.org/docs/islandsclimatechange.pdf
[1] especially under the "Migration" heading.
I was surprised to read in the original message that "there is a
paucity of high quality, high impact peer-reviewed literature on the
topic" of "climate change resilience". I append below a sampling of
publications which critique resilience from climate change and wider
perspectives, in effect pointing out that it is time to move beyond
resilience, mainly because climate change work has undermined the
topic. This illustrates the importance of keeping up with the
literature and scholarly debates.
Warmest regards to everyone,
Ilan
Here is a sampling of papers (many more exist) taking a critiquing
approach to resilience, indicating that there is no "paucity of high
quality, high impact peer-reviewed literature" and that we have
already moved well beyond a focus on "climate change resilience", so
it is unclear why yet another Handbook would be needed:

SUBJECT: [CLIMATE-CHANGE-IMPACTS] Re when will climate change get
VISIBLE
To: Professor Walter .... or anyone else .. As some here may know
I'm a Master of Policy Studies (Uni of New South Wales, at
Kensington) with some minor climate change research being done on
far LESS than the proverbial smell of an oil rag .. I.e. almost
zero-cost research .. just the cost of emails which is pretty low.I
thus constantly monitor (and re-monitor) Councils in East Australia,
especially coastal Councils -- asking:"Has Council seen or heard of
any physical evidence of sea level change or climate change in your
area, please?".This has been going on for years and still very few
know anything at all on this.Lately Canberrra ..our biggest 'State' or
"Territory" has confirmed there is nothing known of there ... but they
are inland, not on the coast.Does anyone know where in UK or USA there
*ought* to be some evidence known of to Councils.I've been asked does
buckling of tramlines in the heat qualify as physical evidence (this
happened in Melbourne).What do people think please on that?It seems
impressive to me.Cheers, Dr John Byrnes(Sydney geologist,

----- Prof Walter wrote -----
Due to its relevance and impact, discussions on climate change
resilience have now taken a central place in the scholarly discourse
-and on political deliberations- on how to handle climate change.
Yet, there is a paucity of high quality, high impact peer-reviewed
literature on the topic.
