JPI Climate: Collective urban governance, innovation and creativity in the face of climate change (SELFCITY)

SELFCITY项目将探索欧洲三个国家的自组织过程，这些过程支撑着社区领导的基于项目的应对气候变化(在适应和缓解方面)。自我组织(即社区组织自身的方式)是三个相互关联的过程(以及市场主导和国家主导的机制)之一，它们支撑着任何务实和创新的向适应城市环境的过渡，这种城市环境更接近于碳中性，可能更能应对(气候引起的)天气模式变化带来的挑战。在过去，关于市场主导和国家主导的倡议的作用进行了大量的工作，然而，我们对公民社会如何构建应对气候变化的方式了解甚少。这些方式有时是替代的，有时是互补的。该项目将在适应建成环境、城市社区和促进能源转换的现有研究和实践的基础上，将社会研究人员领导的工作与参与者行动研究结合起来，探索、记录和加强社区积极分子组织创新的方式。在他们的社区中(地点和空间)创造性和务实地应对气候变化，它将阐述这些活动家/从业者和与他们合作的社区成员如何理解气候变化问题(S)。该项目将为积极分子确定能力建设需求创造空间，并为研究团队与积极分子合作满足这些需求创造空间。通过这些互动和反思活动，学术界和实践者小组将梳理出应对气候挑战的日常知识和技术知识之间相互关系的紧张关系和潜力。该项目不仅分析了这些形式的知识创造在特定国家背景下的紧张关系，而且还利用跨国比较，帮助参与者打破了对气候变化问题和变化机会的文化隐含(和固定)结构。

The SELFCITY project will explore the processes of self-organisation that underpin community-led project-based responses (in terms of both adaptation and mitigation) to climate change in three countries across Europe. Self-organising (i.e. the ways in which communities organise themselves) is one of the three inter-linked processes (along with market-led and state-led mechanisms) that underpin any pragmatic and innovative transition to an adapted urban environment that is closer to being carbon neutral and that may be more resilient to the challenges resulting from changing (climate-induced) weather patterns. In the past considerable work has been carried out on the role of market-led and state-led initiatives, however, we understand far less about the ways in which civil society constructs what are sometimes alternative and sometimes complementary ways of addressing climate change.Building on existing research and practice on adapting the built environment, urban neighbourhoods and facilitating energy transition, the project will combine social researcher-led work with participant action research to explore, record and enhance the ways community activists are organizing innovative, creative and pragmatic climate change responses in their communities (of place and of space).It will set out how the problem(s) of climate change are understood both by these activists/practitioners and by the community members they work with. The project will create space for activists to identify capacity-building needs and for the research team to work with activists to fill these needs. Through these interactive and reflective activities the academic and practitioners teams will tease out the tensions and potentials of the inter-relation of everyday knowledge and technical knowledge on climate challenge responses. Not only does this project analyse the tensions in these forms of knowledge creation within a given national context, but it also uses cross-national comparison to help participants break out of culturally implicit (and fixed) constructions of both the climate change problem and the opportunities for change.
