项目摘要

Once upon a time there was a place called Northern Ireland (NI for short). Not too big or too small, it was just right as a test bed for exploring the power of stories for communicating climate science. NI needs better stories about the future urgently, as although there has so far been no local climate legislation, just like (hydrogen) buses there is now two climate bills going through the motions at the same time. Like a sleeping giant, NI desperately needs to start putting some stones in place to build a causeway - a vision - to a resilient future and to reduce the risks of the climate crisis. The right stories and storytelling, developed with people who know their place the best, can provide narratives which could shift behaviour. If researchers can find a way to inspire action through the understanding of the climate risks and adaptation options, they could build connections to other decision makers, researchers and storytellers elsewhere in the land and all live happily (or at least happier) ever after...Storytelling can connect with people on a deep level and can move seamlessly from facts and emotions, through to values and positive examples of previous action. This connection using narrative, particularly to examples of previous action, is important for providing people with a sense of agency - an ability to enact change. "The stories that we tell ourselves about what climate change means, who is responsible for responding to it, and what this response should look like are just as important as the technologies, laws and policies that will usher in a more sustainable world" (Corner & Clarke, 2017, pp. 5). In Once upon a time in a heatwave, story will be explored in three ways: - The use of visual storytelling (through interactive figures, infographics and a local climate impacts checker)- Narratives based on climate adaptation options (using novel results from the OpenCLIM project that expand upon the UK SSPs, shared through the medium of ArcGIS StoryMaps)- Storyline climate analysis to communicate uncertainties in extreme summer heat events, such as the 2018 heatwave and drought (again using novel analysis from OpenCLIM and shared as ArcGIS StoryMaps)Evaluation of the storytelling methods is vital and will be ongoing throughout the project. Stories will be evaluated with a range of audiences, including decision makers, stakeholders and wider priority audiences (expected to be agricultural/rural communities). Evaluation will take the form of surveys on users' preference and perceived ease of use and understanding, as well as a quantified assessment of whether the conclusions drawn by the users are factually accurate.Through ongoing evaluation and a series of co-production workshops (D4), the final stories (D1, D2 and D3) will be produced iteratively. The stories will be maintained by Climate NI beyond the duration of the project where it is hoped they will influence public and policy opinion in a crucial year for climate action in NI. Although best practices in visual storytelling and the benefits of storyline approaches have been addressed before in the climate and science communication literature, populations vary spatially and temporally. This project will provide recommendations for Northern Ireland, specifically tailored to its unique situation. These recommendations on best practice from the evaluation will be incorporated into Climate NI's communication strategy (D6) and will be submitted to a peer reviewed journal at the end of the project (D7).

从前有一个地方叫北方爱尔兰（简称NI）。它不太大也不太小，正好作为探索故事传播气候科学的力量的试验台。NI迫切需要更好的关于未来的故事，因为尽管到目前为止还没有地方气候立法，就像（氢）巴士一样，现在有两个气候法案同时通过。就像一个沉睡的巨人，NI迫切需要开始放置一些石头来建造一条堤道-一个愿景-一个有弹性的未来，并减少气候危机的风险。与最了解自己位置的人一起开发的正确的故事和讲故事可以提供可以改变行为的叙述。如果研究人员能够找到一种方法，通过了解气候风险和适应方案来激发行动，他们就可以与其他决策者、研究人员和其他地方的故事讲述者建立联系，从此过上幸福的生活（或至少更幸福）。讲故事可以在深层次上与人们联系，可以从事实和情感无缝地转移到价值观和以前行动的积极例子。这种通过叙事的联系，特别是与先前行动的例子的联系，对于为人们提供一种能动性--一种实施变革的能力--是很重要的。“我们告诉自己气候变化意味着什么的故事，谁负责应对它，以及这种反应应该是什么样子，与将迎来一个更可持续的世界的技术，法律和政策一样重要。5）。在《热浪中的从前》中，故事将以三种方式进行探索：- 使用视觉讲故事（通过交互式数字、信息图表和当地气候影响检查器）-基于气候适应备选办法的叙述（使用OpenCLIM项目的新结果，该项目扩展了英国SSP，通过ArcGIS StoryMaps共享）-故事情节气候分析，以传达极端夏季高温事件中的不确定性，例如2018年的热浪和干旱（再次使用OpenCLIM的新分析并作为ArcGIS StoryMaps共享）对讲故事方法的评估至关重要，并将在整个项目中持续进行。将与一系列受众，包括决策者、利益攸关方和更广泛的优先受众（预计是农业/农村社区）一起对故事进行评价。评估将采取调查用户偏好和感觉到的易用性和理解性的形式，并对用户得出的结论是否符合事实进行量化评估，通过持续的评估和一系列共同制作研讨会（D4），将反复制作最后的故事（D1、D2和D3）。这些故事将由北爱尔兰气候组织在项目结束后保留，希望它们能在北爱尔兰气候行动的关键一年影响公众和政策意见。虽然在气候和科学传播文献中已经讨论了视觉叙事的最佳做法和故事情节方法的好处，但人口在空间和时间上都有差异。该项目将为北方爱尔兰提供专门针对其独特情况的建议。这些关于评估最佳做法的建议将被纳入国家气候机构的传播战略（D 6），并将在项目结束时（D 7）提交给同行评审期刊。
