Abstract

Climate change and biodiversity loss trigger policies targeting and impacting local communities worldwide. However, research and policy implementation often fail to sufficiently consider community responses and to involve them. We present the results of a collective self-assessment exercise for eight case studies of communications with regard to climate change or biodiversity loss between project teams and local communities. We develop eight indicators of good stakeholder communication, reflecting the scope of Verran's (2002) concept of postcolonial moments as a communicative utopia. We demonstrate that applying our indicators can enhance communication and enable community responses. However, we discover a divergence between timing, complexity and (introspective) effort. Three cases qualify for postcolonial moments, but scrutinising power relations and genuine knowledge co-production remain rare. While we verify the potency of various instruments for deconstructing science, their sophistication cannot substitute trust building and epistemic/transdisciplinary awareness. Lastly, we consider that reforming inadequate funding policies helps improving the work in and with local communities.

与当地人口交流气候变化和生物多样性丧失:在八个跨学科案例研究中探索交流乌托邦。
气候变化和生物多样性丧失触发了针对和影响世界各地当地社区的政策。然而,研究和政策执行往往没有充分考虑到社区的反应,也没有让他们参与进来。我们介绍了项目团队和当地社区之间关于气候变化或生物多样性丧失的八个沟通案例研究的集体自我评估结果。我们制定了八个良好利益相关者沟通的指标,反映了Verran(2002)关于后殖民时代作为沟通乌托邦的概念的范围。我们证明,应用我们的指标可以加强沟通,使社区能够做出反应。然而,我们发现时间、复杂性和(内省)努力之间存在差异。三个案例符合后殖民时代的条件,但仔细审视权力关系和真正的知识合作仍然很少见。虽然我们验证了各种解构科学的工具的效力,但它们的复杂性不能取代建立信任和认识/跨学科意识。最后,我们认为,改革资金不足的政策有助于改善当地社区的工作。
