Abstract

ABSTRACT The rationale for this theme section on ‘COP26, human geography and earth futures’ is explained. A previous special issue of this journal – entitled ‘Climate change, COP26 and the crucible of crisis’, published during 2020 in anticipation of COP26 – is deployed to frame the specifically human-geographical concerns of the present theme section. Contributions to the theme section were initially prepared and presented in late-2021 and early-2022, around the time of COP26 itself, before then being substantially revised for publication here. The ‘placedness’ of COP26 in the city of Glasgow is important for four of the articles in this section, taking seriously certain human geographies of COP26 itself as windows on the wider problematics of climate change, its injustices and how to respond. Further aspects of understanding, imagining and representing climate change then shape the other three articles, exploring different ways in which diverse actors – with different knowledges, expertise and orientations – potentially make a difference to thinking climate change past, present and future.

COP26，人文地理与地球未来:主题部分介绍

本文解释了“COP26，人文地理与地球未来”这一主题部分的基本原理。本杂志的上一期特刊题为“气候变化，COP26和危机的坩埚”，于2020年在COP26的预期中出版，用于构建当前主题部分的具体人文地理问题。主题部分的文章最初是在2021年底和2022年初编写和提交的，大约在COP26召开期间，然后进行了大量修改，以便在这里发表。COP26在格拉斯哥市的“位置”对于本节中的四篇文章很重要，它们认真对待COP26本身的某些人文地理，将其作为更广泛的气候变化问题，其不公正以及如何应对的窗口。对气候变化的理解、想象和表现的进一步方面塑造了其他三篇文章，探讨了不同的行为者——拥有不同的知识、专业知识和方向——可能对思考气候变化的过去、现在和未来产生影响的不同方式。

期刊介绍： The Scottish Geographical Journal is the learned publication of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society and is a continuation of the Scottish Geographical Magazine, first published in 1885. The Journal was relaunched in its present format in 1999. The Journal is international in outlook and publishes scholarly articles of original research from any branch of geography and on any part of the world, while at the same time maintaining a distinctive interest in and concern with issues relating to Scotland. “The Scottish Geographical Journal mixes physical and human geography in a way that no other international journal does. It deploys a long heritage of geography in Scotland to address the most pressing issues of today."
