当政府努力寻找气候变化等复杂问题的解决方案时，政策制定者正在寻找能够捕捉复杂性并激发洞察力的工具。我探索了一种名为“SenseMaker”的工具的应用，帮助加拿大政策制定者了解促进或阻碍加拿大适应气候变化的因素。我反思了 SenseMaker 以及多视角、多方法方法来调查适应的看法和经验的有用性。探讨了在政府中应用这种分析的挑战和优势，并评估了数据结果对政策的影响。研究结果表明，尽管该方法有希望，但在有意义的方法支持适应政策之前还需要进一步的工作和测试。
As governments struggle to find solutions to complex problems like climate change, policy makers look for tools that can capture complexity and elicit insight. I explored the application of one such tool, known as "SenseMaker," in helping Canadian policy makers understand the factors that enable or hinder climate change adaptation in Canada. I have reflected on the usefulness of SenseMaker and of a multiperspective, multimethod approach to investigating perceptions and experiences of adaptation. The challenges and advantages of applying this analysis in government were explored, and data findings assessed for their impact on policy. Findings showed that although the approach has promise, further work and testing are needed before sense-making approaches support adaptation policy.
