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

该项目旨在大大提高对联合国气候治理进程的理解，以及太平洋岛国为影响最终决策结果而利用的空间和战略。该项目将产生关于全球气候治理的重要新知识，使用一种创新的方法来进行合作事件民族志，其中包括一个主要的太平洋岛民研究团队，并在正式的联合国气候谈判中进行“内部”工作。该项目应确定太平洋地区和澳大利亚在气候变化方面的主要成果，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体系集中纳入对气候变化政策的理解，提高太平洋土著知识体系的地位。

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.
