Not drowning, fighting?: UN climate governance and Pacific Island countries

该项目旨在显著促进对联合国气候治理进程的理解，以及太平洋岛国用来影响最终决策结果的空间和战略。该项目将利用一种创新的合作事件人种学方法，产生关于全球气候治理的重要新知识，该方法涉及一个以太平洋岛民为主的研究团队，并在正式的联合国气候谈判中开展“内部”工作。该项目应确定太平洋和澳大利亚的关键气候变化成果，这些成果将有助于解决气候安全问题，并通过将太平洋土著知识系统集中纳入气候变化政策的理解中来提高它们的地位。

This project aims to significantly advance understandings of UN climate governance processes, and the spaces and strategies utilised by Pacific Island countries to influence the final decision outcomes. This project will generate important new knowledge about global climate governance using an innovative approach to collaborative event ethnography that involves a majority Pacific Islander research team and working ‘internal’ to formal UN climate negotiations. The project should identify key climate change outcomes for the Pacific and Australia that will help address climate security issues, and that raise the status of Pacific Indigenous knowledge systems by incorporating them centrally within understandings of climate change policy.
