近年来，政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）一直与印度机构合作组织外联活动。本文借鉴了2018年和2020年在印度各地开展的17次面对面外联活动的参与者，演讲者和组织者的观点，为印度和其他发展中国家未来的IPCC活动分享见解和建议。本文分析的形式包括有大量公众参与的小组活动，以及重点更突出的讲习班、会议和研讨会。目标受众包括学术界和非学术界的受众，包括研究人员、教师、学生、工业界和非政府组织。这些活动在实现传播气专委报告结论这一主要目标的同时，也为公开讨论局部气候影响以及适应和缓解方面的良好做法提供了一个平台。然而，印度的公众外联工作面临着显著的挑战，特别是在吸引足够数量的参与者、提供专家、与不同受众沟通以及翻译成当地语言等方面。演讲者面临的最大挑战是在活动之前缺乏对与会者人数和观众组成的了解。我们建议，今后在印度开展的外联活动应是互动式的，适合区域情况，并辅之以简化的宣传材料。应在活动之前向发言者提供听众信息和背景资料，并利用当地语言的材料，使更多的人接触到农村地区，包括学龄儿童。此外，活动组织者往往需要后勤和业务支持，以举办外联活动。
In recent years, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been collaborating with Indian institutions to organise outreach events. This essay draws on the perspective of participants, speakers and organisers of 17 in-person outreach events conducted across India in 2018 and 2020, to share insights and recommendations for future IPCC events in India and other developing country contexts. The formats analysed in this essay range from panel events with very large public audiences to more focused workshops, meetings and seminars. Target audiences covered both academic and non-academic audiences and included researchers, teachers, students, industry and NGOs. The events, while achieving their main objective of communicating the findings of IPCC reports, also provided a platform for open discussion of localised climate impacts and good practices in adaptation and mitigation. There are, however, notable challenges to public outreach in India, specifically in terms of attracting an adequate number of participants, experts’ availability, communicating to a diverse audience and translation into local languages. The biggest challenge faced by speakers was a lack of knowledge about the number of attendees and the composition of the audience prior to an event. It is our recommendation that future outreach events in India are designed to be interactive, tailored to the regional context and complemented by simplified communication materials. Speakers should be provided with audience information and background prior to the event, and greater reach into rural areas, including school children, could be achieved with material in local languages. Additionally, event organisers often require logistical and operational support to host outreach events.
