摘要

转型适应的概念正日益成为政治生态学领域或气候变化治理新兴子领域的流行语。然而,什么样的适应气候影响最能被描述为变革?这个问题还没有完全得到回答,因为这个概念还处于生命的萌芽阶段。在这篇文章中,这个概念是自下而上诊断的——完全从适应项目受益者的角度出发。问题是:你认为什么样的适应项目干预和结果是变革性的?转型适应与增量适应有何不同?通过解释性研究范式,加纳选定的一些适应项目被用作案例研究。受访者表示,气候变化适应干预措施可以将生计系统性地转变为更可持续的选择,创建影响适应性决策的公平权力结构,最大限度地减少脆弱性,并为扩大规模创造机会,这些干预措施可以被描述为变革性的。具体而言,研究发现,项目受益人认为,鼓励和支持生计全面转变(例如,从水稻种植到蜗牛饲养)的转型适应战略是转型的。根据这些数据,该研究得出结论,尽管有些谨慎乐观,但转型适应可以刺激创新和思想传播,并为减贫开辟道路。

Going Beyond Incrementalism: Climate Projects’ Beneficiaries’ Perspective on What Could Be Described as Transformational Adaptation
The concept of transformational adaptation is increasingly becoming a buzzword in the field of political ecology or the emerging sub-field of climate change governance. However, what kind of adaptation to climate impact can best be described as transformational? This question is not fully answered, since the concept is still at an embryonic stage of life. In this article, the concept is diagnosed bottom-up—exclusively from the perspective of adaptation project beneficiaries. The question is asked: what kind of adaptation project intervention and outcome do you consider transformational? How is transformational adaptation different from incremental adaptation? Through an interpretive research paradigm, some selected adaptation projects from Ghana were used as a case study. According to the interviewees, climate change adaptation interventions that create a systematic shift in livelihood to a more sustainable option, create equitable power structures that influence adaptive decision-making, minimise vulnerability and create opportunity for scaling up could be described as transformational. Specifically, it was found that project beneficiaries consider transformational adaptation strategies that encourage and support a total shift in livelihood (e.g., from rice farming to snail rearing) as transformational. On the basis of the data, the study concludes, though with some cautious optimism, that transformational adaptation could spur innovations and diffusion of ideas and create a path for poverty reduction.
