Abstract/Contents

Abstract: There is need to enact swift solutions to mitigate and adapt to the urgency of the climate crisis, often relying on highly visible or fast results. How about the tools and impacts of environmental organizing that are difficult to measure, see, or even explain? The following study is an exploration of climate change resilience, and the socio-ecological tools communities use in the city of Paraná (Entre Ríos, Argentina) to change the cultural landscape. I draw on environmental justice, slow justice, and political ecology of freshwater ecosystems to argue that relationship and community-building are critical strategies for longevity of socio-ecological movements and developing resilience. Using an ethnographic approach that included in-depth interviews, audiovisual primary sources, and participant observation in local offices, wetlands, homes, and community centers, this study aims to piece together the multigenerational and spatial narrative of environmental organizing in Paraná. This project provides a highly localized examples of ways that communities are imagining a more just and equitable future in creative and collaborative ways.
