An investigation into the political philosophy of the IPCC using notions of responsibility

博士项目提出了一个跨学科的批判性研究的公民认识论的气候“损失和损害”(L和D)在跨国背景下。围绕着L与发展部的事实在认知和政治上的有效性，总体目标是帮助更深入地理解L与发展部的概念发展和制度化对于全球和地方对气候变化的理解意味着什么(Hulme，2008年)，同时解释在天气归属科学方面所取得的进展。中心的研究问题是“如何在不同的跨国环境下，在认知和政治司法管辖区内建立、验证和动员关于气候的知识主张和事实”。这将通过三角多地点民族志(专家访谈、观察、文件分析)在提出和/或使用L&D知识主张的选定地点(气专委、联合国气候变化框架公约、亚太论坛关于脆弱国家的损失和损害、损失和损害网络)进行调查。中心目标是结合对过去在政治贫困社区中知识生产和动员的努力的分析，与探索L与D事实传播的未来轨迹，特别是求助于新气候建模技术。追溯L&D的发展历程，将为人文地理学、科学技术研究和气候科学的跨学科研究议程带来新的问题。

The PhD project presents an interdisciplinary critical study of civic epistemologies of climate "Loss and Damage" (L&D)in transnational settings. Revolving around the epistemic and political effectiveness of L&D facts, the overarching aim isto contribute to a deeper understanding about what the conceptual development and institutionalisation of L&D meansfor global and local understandings of climate change (Hulme 2008), while accounting for progress made in weatherattribution science. The central research question asks "how knowledge claims and facts about climate L&D areestablished, validated and mobilised across both epistemic and political jurisdictions in different transnational settings".This will be investigated through triangulated multi-sited ethnography (expert interviews, observations, documentanalysis) in selected sites where L&D knowledge claims are made and/or utilised (IPCC, UNFCCC, Asia-Pacific Forumon Loss and Damage, Loss and Damage in Vulnerable Countries Initiative, Loss and Damage Network). The centralobjective is to combine an analysis of past efforts of knowledge production and mobilisation across political andepistemic communities with an exploration of future trajectories for L&D facts travelling, inter alia with recourse to newclimate modelling techniques. Tracing back the evolution of L&D will trigger new questions for an interdisciplinaryresearch agenda in Human Geography, Science and Technology Studies (STS) and Climate Science.
