Universities can be at the forefront of the internationalcollaborative effort necessary to address climate changeissues. In this study, I aim to explore climate knowledgenetworks within Pacific universities and their wider informationcommunities. I will investigate situated knowledges on climaterisk and food resilience within urban coastal communities andthe flows of knowledge between universities and community basedorganisations. Probing sites of creative tension anddisjuncture in the knowledges produced and disseminated byuniversities and the lived, vernacular knowledge of climate inthese communities will provide a more nuanced view of howclimate knowledges are formed and given authority. Throughhighlighting the ways in which knowledge networks areentangled in the pre-established institutional and social milieu,I will track pathways attempting an equitable virtual knowledgenetwork across Pacific and Caribbean universities. Thisresearch will support the Association of CommonwealthUniversities Climate Resilience Network promotingendogenous modes of sustainable development in small islanddeveloping states (SIDS).

大学可以站在解决气候变化问题所需的国际合作努力的最前沿。在这项研究中，我的目标是探索太平洋大学及其更广泛的信息社区的气候知识网络。我将调查城市沿海社区内关于气候风险和食物恢复力的知识，以及大学和社区组织之间的知识流动。探索由大学产生和传播的知识与这些社区中生活的、当地的气候知识之间的创造性张力和脱节的地点，将为气候知识如何形成和赋予权威提供更细致入微的观点。通过强调知识网络在预先建立的制度和社会环境中纠缠的方式，我将跟踪尝试跨太平洋和加勒比大学建立公平的虚拟知识网络的途径。这项研究将支持英联邦大学协会气候适应能力网络，促进小岛屿发展中国家可持续发展的内生模式。
