北极正处于前所未有的加速环境变化之中，在可预见的未来，不会恢复到近几十年来可靠的冰冻气候。气候迫使人口流离失所，包括社区搬迁，将是阿拉斯加原住民社区以及负责保护社区居民和提供技术援助和资源的部落、州和联邦管理实体面临的最大气候适应挑战之一。必须建立一个以人权原则为基础的新的治理框架，使各机构能够将工作重点从在居住地保护人民转向在环境和社会门槛被超越时建立一个搬迁程序。要确定哪些社区最有可能面临流离失所问题，就需要对社区生态系统对气候变化的脆弱性及其社会、经济和政治结构的脆弱性和适应能力进行复杂的评估。在阿拉斯加，通过将土著知识与自然科学和社会科学相结合来了解环境变化的速度至关重要。本文描述了这种知识的共同生产是如何为这种新的治理框架和阿拉斯加的转型气候适应奠定基础的。
The Arctic is in the midst of unprecedented and accelerating environmental change and will not return, for the foreseeable future, to a reliably frozen climate of recent past decades. Climate-forced population displacement, including community relocation, will be one of the greatest climate adaptation challenges for Alaska Native communities and the tribal, state and federal governing entities responsible for protecting community residents and providing technical assistance and resources. A new governance framework, based in human rights principles, must be created that can allow institutions to shift their efforts from protecting people in the places where they live to creating a relocation process when environmental and social thresholds are surpassed. Determining which communities are most likely to encounter displacement will require a sophisticated assessment of a community's ecosystem vulnerability to climate change, as well as the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of its social, economic and political structures. In Alaska, understanding the rate of environmental change through the integration of indigenous knowledge with physical and social science is essential. The article describes how this coproduction of knowledge is the foundation for this new governance framework and for transformational climate adaptation in Alaska.
