Abstract

ABSTRACT The Arctic is in the midst of unprecedented and accelerating environmental change and will not return, for the foreseeable future, to a reliably frozen climate of recent past decades. Climate-forced population displacement, including community relocation, will be one of the greatest climate adaptation challenges for Alaska Native communities and the tribal, state and federal governing entities responsible for protecting community residents and providing technical assistance and resources. A new governance framework, based in human rights principles, must be created that can allow institutions to shift their efforts from protecting people in the places where they live to creating a relocation process when environmental and social thresholds are surpassed. Determining which communities are most likely to encounter displacement will require a sophisticated assessment of a community's ecosystem vulnerability to climate change, as well as the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of its social, economic and political structures. In Alaska, understanding the rate of environmental change through the integration of indigenous knowledge with physical and social science is essential. The article describes how this coproduction of knowledge is the foundation for this new governance framework and for transformational climate adaptation in Alaska.

Usteq:将土著知识与社会科学和自然科学相结合,共同生产知识并支持以社区为基础的适应
北极正处于前所未有的加速环境变化之中,在可预见的未来,北极不会再回到过去几十年那种可靠的冰冻气候。气候迫使人口流离失所,包括社区搬迁,将是阿拉斯加土著社区和负责保护社区居民并提供技术援助和资源的部落、州和联邦管理实体面临的最大气候适应挑战之一。必须建立一个以人权原则为基础的新的治理框架,使机构能够将其努力从保护人们居住的地方转向在超过环境和社会门槛时建立一个重新安置进程。确定哪些社区最有可能遭遇流离失所,需要对社区生态系统对气候变化的脆弱性以及其社会、经济和政治结构的脆弱性和适应能力进行复杂的评估。在阿拉斯加,通过将土著知识与自然科学和社会科学相结合来了解环境变化的速度至关重要。本文描述了这种知识的共同生产如何成为这种新的治理框架和阿拉斯加转型气候适应的基础。

期刊介绍: Polar Geographyis a quarterly publication that offers a venue for scholarly research on the physical and human aspects of the Polar Regions. The journal seeks to address the component interplay of the natural systems, the complex historical, political, economic, cultural, diplomatic, and security issues, and the interchange amongst them. As such, the journal welcomes comparative approaches, critical scholarship, and alternative and disparate perspectives from around the globe. The journal offers scientists a venue for publishing longer papers such as might result from distillation of a thesis, or review papers that place in global context results from coordinated national and international efforts currently underway in both Polar Regions.
