Basket weaving and social weaving: Young Ghanaian artisans' mobilization of resources through mobility in times of climate change

► We counter the perception of climate-related mobility as failed adaptation. ► We show how young Ghanaian artisans' mobility and non-mobility are active strategies. ► Such strategies build on, create and avoid relations - what we call social weaving. ► Social weaving captures the interconnectedness of social relations and mobility. ► Practiced and imagined relations to NGOs are integral to social weaving.
