Tensions over process: Given the in‐depth nature of community engagement in CBA, there is the potential for community resistance to certain components of research. Workshop participants, e.g., described how communities viewed evaluation of pilot adaptations as intrusive and distracting despite recognition by local leaders and institutions of the importance of such metrics. Accommodating these concerns often involves scaling‐down the depth and frequency of the evaluation process and tools (e.g., fewer interviews, no large community surveys), which may potentially compromise the ability to generate results of sufficient rigor to assist communities in their efforts to obtain funding to continue pilot interventions or to scale up pilot projects into regular programs. There is also a tension between recognizing the importance of considering future risks, while still understanding that there are more pressing day‐to‐day issues that may take precedence. This is further complicated by the fact that, for some Inuit, there is a strong hesitancy to speak about the future due to a belief in the sentience of the natural world, acknowledgment of variation and the transient nature of environmental knowledge, and cultural resistance to focusing on the negative.38 Consequently, few of the adaptation projects that workshop participants were engaged in had a strong future focus, despite this being recognized as a key contribution researchers can bring to community adaptation. A similar observation has been made in the general CBA literature where the factoring of future climate risks into CBA has remained limited, and even discouraged by some for fears that such consideration may lead to overemphasis on future‐orientated technological responses.32, 97, 98
