Description:
<jats:p>Abstract. Time shapes every single human–environment relationship and is inherent in
21st-century global challenges such as climate change and the urgent move
towards global sustainability. Nonetheless, the concept of time is still
insufficiently addressed in climate justice debates. This paper aims to help
fill this gap by presenting empirical results about experiences of climate
change in farming communities in Tamil Nadu, South India, and fishing
communities on the Lofoten Islands, Norway. With the help of the five
dimensions of affectedness, rhythms and rituals, slow motion, care, and
health and well-being, it exemplifies how time matters to issues of climate
injustices faced by the communities. The paper promotes a qualitative
understanding of time and climate change. Thereby, it may stimulate greater
relatability to climate change, as well as discussion likely to lead to
conceptual advances.
