项目摘要

Climate resilience is generally defined as the capacity to: (1) maintain function in the face of external stressors (i.e. climate impacts) and/or (2) adapt so as to be better prepared for future climate change impacts. Small islands are disproportionately vulnerable to climate change due to rising temperatures and sea levels, land loss, and increasing extreme weather risks, making climate resilience a major priority. Yet, while climate resilience is being practiced across multiple island states and regions, there is little scholarship that considers individual examples of impacts and adaptations in the larger context of 'islandness'. Existing scholarship tends to focus on islands within geographical (e.g. Pacific) or socio-economic (e.g. Small Island Developing States, or SIDS) groupings. By assuming that island experiences are grounded solely in shared geographical space or socio-economic contexts, rather than shared 'islandness' (grounded in states of smallness, boundedness, isolation and fragmentation), this siloed approach stymies opportunities to identify transferable practices, limiting understanding of island-related issues in climate resilience.Arguably, this stems in part from methodological deficits. Approaches used in global and regional climate impact assessments are often poorly suited to small islands and especially atolls, with climate models especially constrained in their ability to provide information on local scales. Additionally, little is known about the existing, culturally-grounded coping capacity of island communities, and to what extent these traits promote good adaptation (which, unlike coping, involves sustainable long-term responses), particularly in peripheral/rural islands where data is scarce compared to core/urban areas. Through the establishment of an international, interdisciplinary collaboration on island climate resilience, SUNRISE will address these issues. By applying their complimentary skills and expertise in a diverse set of island contexts (Scotish Isles, Mauritius, Fiji), the research team will develop new approaches that bridge the gaps around how islandness is accounted for in climate impacts research. SUNRISE will pilot new approaches through a series of focus groups and household surveys centred on perceptions of climate change impacts, informed by place-based, culturally-grounded usage of climate and environmental data. In doing so, SUNRISE will seek to situate varied, individual examples of place-based climate impacts and resilient practice within the wider context of small island experiences.

气候抗御力通常被定义为：（1）面对外部压力（即气候影响）保持功能和/或（2）适应以便为未来气候变化影响做好更好准备的能力。由于气温和海平面上升、土地流失和极端天气风险增加，小岛屿国家特别容易受到气候变化的影响，因此气候复原力成为一个主要优先事项。然而，虽然气候适应能力正在多个岛国和地区实践，但很少有学术界在更大的“岛屿”背景下考虑影响和适应的个别例子。现有的奖学金往往侧重于地理（如太平洋）或社会经济（如小岛屿发展中国家或小岛屿发展中国家）集团内的岛屿。这种孤立的做法假定岛屿的经验仅仅基于共同的地理空间或社会经济背景，而不是共同的“岛屿性”（基于小、有界、孤立和分散的状态），因此阻碍了确定可转让做法的机会，限制了对气候抗御力中岛屿相关问题的理解，可以说，这部分源于方法学缺陷。全球和区域气候影响评估所采用的方法往往不太适合小岛屿，特别是环礁，气候模型在提供地方尺度信息方面的能力尤其有限。此外，人们对岛屿社区现有的、基于文化的应对能力以及这些特征在多大程度上促进了良好的适应（与应对不同，这涉及可持续的长期应对）知之甚少，特别是在与核心/城市地区相比数据稀缺的周边/农村岛屿。通过建立关于岛屿气候适应能力的国际跨学科合作，日出将解决这些问题。通过在不同的岛屿环境（苏格兰群岛，毛里求斯，斐济）中应用他们的互补技能和专业知识，研究团队将开发新的方法，弥合气候影响研究中岛屿性如何占的差距。日出”将通过一系列重点小组和家庭调查试行新的办法，重点是对气候变化影响的看法，并以基于地点和文化的气候和环境数据使用情况为依据。在这样做的时候，小岛屿发展中日出将努力在小岛屿经验的更广泛背景下，收集基于地方的气候影响和具有复原力的做法的各种个别例子。
