关于紧迫性的讨论主导了对气候变化的适应对策，因此必须采取迅速和果断的行动。由于海平面上升，这些话语在低洼岛国尤其明显。图瓦卢是南太平洋的一个环礁国家，它开展了土地开垦项目，作为一种适应手段。集中在这些项目，我探讨如何时间政治学可以帮助梳理除了复杂的时空适应的基础。时间政治学描述了个人和群体的政治与他们对时间的看法之间的关系，因此它可以帮助解开时间观念如何塑造适应决策过程。根据在南太平洋的实地考察和在波兰的COP24，我认为适应是一个支持替代气候未来的行为过程。在本文中，我使用关键的地缘政治来展示这些未来是如何充满权力关系的，在国内，国际和金融层面。此外，通过对2019年太平洋岛屿论坛的研究，我认为填海造地是一种可见的物质资源，可以参与到外交的表演形式中。随后，我展示了地理学家和更广泛的社会科学家如何关注适应的时间性和空间性，以了解其政治潜力。
Discourses of urgency have dominated adaptation responses to climate change, necessitating fast and decisive action. These discourses are particularly apparent in low-lying island states due to rising sea levels. Tuvalu, an atoll state in the South Pacific, has engaged in land reclamation projects as a means of adaptation. Focusing on these projects, I explore how chronopolitics can help tease apart the complex spatialities and temporalities which underpin adaptation. Chronopolitics describes the relationship between the politics of individuals and groups and their perspective on time, thus it can help to unpack how time perceptions shape adaptation decision-making processes. Drawing on fieldwork in the South Pacific and COP24 in Poland, I contend that adaptation serves as a performative process that supports alternative climate futures. Within this paper, I use critical geopolitics to show how these futures are suffused with power relations, at domestic, international and financial levels. Moreover, through an examination of the 2019 Pacific Island Forum, I argue that land reclamation serves as a visible, material resource to enrol in performative forms of diplomacy. Subsequently, I show how it is imperative that geographers, and social scientists more broadly, are attentive to the temporality and spatiality of adaptation to understand its political potential.
