摘要

通过焦点小组和绘图对太平洋小岛国萨摩亚的儿童进行了调查。这项针对不同年龄儿童的初步研究表明,儿童对局部环境变化包括气候变化引发的环境变化有一定的意识。大多数萨摩亚男女儿童都知道影响萨摩亚的气候变化的多个方面,即气温上升、降雨增多、风更强、旋风,以及这些因素如何在不同程度上影响萨摩亚不同地区。海平面上升被认为是未来而非当前气候变化的一个特征。性别差异反映了儿童的家庭活动,而村庄位置影响了对变化的观察和看法。他们的知识来自于最近气候变化和构造活动引发的事件的经历,上学的经历,以及各种媒体来源,如电视和广播,以及家庭成员。6-9岁的幼儿对气候变化有了基本的了解。10-15岁的大孩子能够将未来的变化概念化,并表现出一定程度的前瞻性思维,这表明他们在面对变化时具有潜在的弹性。

‘Burn Like Hot Stones’: Children’s Perceptions of Environmental Change in Samoa
A survey of children in the small Pacific Island state of Samoa was undertaken through focus groups and drawings. This primary study of children of different ages demonstrated that children were aware of local environmental changes including those triggered by climate change. The majority of Samoan children of both genders were aware of the multiple dimensions of climate change affecting Samoa, namely rising temperatures, heavier rainfall, stronger winds, cyclones, and how these affected to varying degrees different parts of Samoa. Sea level rise was perceived to be a feature of future, rather than, current climate change. Gender variations reflected domestic activities of children, while village location influenced observations and perceptions of change. Their knowledge was informed by their experiences of recent events triggered by climate change and tectonic activities, attending school, as well as by listening to various media sources such as television and radio, and to family members. Younger children, aged 6-9 years, had a basic understanding of climate change. Older children, aged 10-15 years, were able to conceptualize future changes, and exhibited a degree of forward thinking that suggested potential resilience in the face of change.
