Dragging Change
The objective of the dragging change research project is to identify a best-practice model for including informal / slum neighborhood communities in the global climate change response. Formal governance generally has limited reach in less developed countries. Where it does reach, it is limited to top-down, regulatory control of a relatively small formal sector. To the extent that the informal / slum community is engaged, the relationship is often confrontational where the desired outcome is the removal of the community. Compounding these difficulties is the reality that climate change is generally not among the primary or immediate concerns of the informal / slum neighborhood communities. Drawing upon generally accepted network theory, while proposing a more sophisticated understanding of the weak – strong relationship distinction, the proposed research project provides a framework for behavioural change at the slum / informal neighbourhood community level, while maintaining reference to formal governance concerns.
