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

SELFCITY 项目将探索自我组织的过程，以支持欧洲三个国家以社区为主导、基于项目的应对气候变化（在适应和减缓方面）的过程。自组织（即社区自我组织的方式）是三个相互关联的过程之一（以及市场主导和国家主导的机制），这些过程支撑着向适应城市环境的务实和创新转型，这种环境更接近碳中和，并且可能更能应对气候模式变化带来的挑战。过去，人们对市场主导和国家主导的举措的作用进行了大量研究，然而，我们对民间社会如何构建有时是替代性的、有时是补充性的应对气候变化的方式了解甚少。在现有关于适应建筑环境、城市社区和促进能源转型的研究和实践的基础上，该项目将把社会研究人员主导的工作与参与者行动研究结合起来，探索、记录和加强社区活动家在其社区（地方和社区）组织创新、创造性和务实的气候变化应对措施的方式。它将阐述这些活动家/从业者以及与他们一起工作的社区成员如何理解气候变化问题。该项目将为活动家创造空间来确定能力建设需求，并为研究团队与活动家合作以满足这些需求创造空间。通过这些互动和反思活动，学术和实践团队将梳理出应对气候挑战的日常知识和技术知识之间的相互关系的张力和潜力。该项目不仅分析了特定国家背景下这些形式的知识创造的紧张关系，而且还利用跨国比较来帮助参与者打破对气候变化问题和变化机遇的文化隐含（和固定）建构。

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.
