在本引言中，我们将本期特刊的主题定位为学术文献中的“变化叙述”，内容涉及我们如何为气候风险治理（包括通过气候服务）提供信息。我们认为，许多地方一方面主要基于科学和技术的气候风险框架，另一方面基于地方的对极端气候的理解和居住在这些地方的人们的反应之间存在持续的不匹配。我们介绍了本期的案例研究，并强调了它们对“变化叙事”的共同关注，认为这是气候治理中缺失的一环。变化的叙述涉及被理解为天气世界的特定地点的过去、现在和未来，为经历一系列天气和季节的气候变化增添了文化维度。我们关注极端天气事件的记忆以及人们如何应对这些事件，以改善未来气候变化下的气候治理。我们认为，对当地叙事的关注扩大了气候信息所涵盖的问题范围，并改善了其与社会和文化生活的融合。我们提供了七个教训，说明为什么将叙事纳入气候治理很重要，并提出了一些创造性的方法。后正常科学、艺术与科学的合作以及人文学科的纳入标志着个人对气候治理和民主决策文献的贡献的不同。
In this introduction, we situate the topic of this Special Issue on 'narratives of change' in the scholarly literature about how we inform climate risk governance, including through climate services. We argue that many places experience a persistent mismatch between predominantly science-based and technical framings of climatic risk on the one hand, and the place-based understandings of climate extremes and responses of people living in these places on the other. We introduce the case studies presented in this issue and highlight their common focus on 'narratives of change' as one missing link in climate governance. Narratives of change address the past, present and future of a specific place understood as a weather-world, adding a cultural dimension to climate change experienced as a succession of weather and seasons. We focus on memories of extreme weather events and how people coped with them, in order to improve climate governance under future climatic change. We argue that attention to local narratives expands the scope of issues covered by climate information and improves its integration into social and cultural life. We offer up seven lessons for why it is important to incorporate narratives in climate governance and suggest some creative methods for doing so. Post-normal science, art-science cooperation, and the inclusion of the humanities mark the difference that the individual contributions make to the literature about climate governance and democratic decision-making.
