是什么因素使环境问题在人们的生活中变得突出，在什么条件下人们将气候变化等抽象概念与自己日常生活中的具体经历联系起来？以我们的重点民族志工作与儿童在几个不同的民族志设置（巴罗，阿拉斯加;瓦哈卡，墨西哥; Tuv aimag和Uvurkhangai aimag，蒙古;和东安格利亚，英国），我们探讨了儿童如何来阐明环境知识作为一个过程中的“搞清楚”和在何种程度上的儿童参与不断变化的气候作为一个关注的问题。该文件对每个地区出现的主要主题进行了人种学描述，然后对气候变化如何影响儿童生活的一些关键因素进行了比较讨论。探讨了三个方面：气候变化对生计的影响，儿童的经历与这些生计的接近程度，气候变化叙述的政治突出性，以及环境引起的时间深度。
What are the factors that render environmental concerns salient in people’s lives, and under what conditions do people make connections between an abstract concept such as climate change and concrete experiences in their own daily circumstances? Taking as our focus ethnographic work with children in several different ethnographic settings (Barrow, Alaska; Oaxaca, Mexico; Tuv aimag and Uvurkhangai aimag, Mongolia; and East Anglia, United Kingdom), we explore how the children come to articulate environmental knowledge as a process of “figuring out” and the extent to which the children engage with the changing climate as a matter of concern. The paper provides an ethnographic account of the main themes that emerged in each region, before developing a comparative discussion of some key factors that gave shape to how climate change comes to matter in the lives of the children. Three dimensions are explored: the effect of climate change on livelihoods and the proximity of children’s experience to those livelihoods, the political salience of the narrative of climate change, and the temporal depth invoked by the environment.
