Climate change management in Machinga district of Malawi: towards a dialogic approach in communicating risk and resilience

拟议的项目将审查马拉维马辛加地区的专家顾问和当地社区之间的紧急对话做法，因为他们正在共同努力，发展应对气候变化的能力。它将侧重于植树造林和气候友好型农业做法的能力建设，探讨天主教发展委员会(CADECOM)的专家顾问和当地社区成员如何在各自的论述中预测风险和复原力，并考虑影响这两个群体(未能)相互学习和就气候变化的原因及其与当地做法、过去和未来的关系达成协议的社会和语言因素。

The proposed project will examine emergent discourse practices between expert advisers and local communities in the Machinga district of Malawi as they work together to develop resilience to climate-change. Focusing on capacity-building for reforestation and climate-friendly agricultural practices, it will explore how expert advisers from the Catholic Development Commission (CADECOM) and local community members project risk and resilience in their respective discourses and consider the social and linguistic factors that influence how the two groups (fail to) learn from each other and reach agreement on the causes of climate change and its relation to local practices, past and future.
