Summary of the project

Today, a major challenge for climate science and climate services is to provide adaptation information at fine geographical scales that addresses the diversity of concerns, needs and values of people. However, there is a so-called usability gap between the projections that climate models yield, and what people need to know to get prepared for the changing climate. This raises intertwined epistemic and ethical issues, insofar as climate change threatens to increase social inequalities and injustices. The project aims to employ the recommendations from feminist epistemologies in order to investigate how adaptation information can meet the needs of stakeholders in a reliable but also a fair way. First, we will study how the values of stakeholders can be taken into account in climate services, while maintaining scientific objectivity. Second, we will study how the plural development of alternative modelling strategies can document the environmental, ecosystemic and socioeconomic aspects of climate change. Third, we will explore how Indigenous and local knowledge provide usable adaptation information for local communities. Fourth, we will study the attempts to overcome epistemic injustice which, in the context of climate science, might well be a form of climate injustice.
