Anthropogenic climate change has provided the imperative to implement interventions that could help vulnerable communities adapt to its differential and intensifying impacts. However, adaptation projects tend to favour technocratic, market-driven, and Western-centric approaches that inadvertently disregard the place-based and contextual adaptation strategies of many communities in the Global SouthGlobal South. Guided by the critical tenets of ‘Decolonising Climate Adaptation Scholarship’ and De Sousa Santos’ ‘Epistemologies of the South’ approach, this paper attempts to decolonise climate change resilience by foregrounding the various forms of delegitimisation of traditional and Indigenous knowledge and highlighting the ways that communities confront such processes through the assertion of local agency and collective action. It presents empirical findings in Fiji and highlights some critical lessons for place-based climate resilience. This chapter rethinks climate resilience from a Pacific standpoint. It asserts that Pacific peoples have, over centuries, developed resileince as part of their cultural system, which is sometimes at odds with externally designed concepts and worldviews.
