An IPCC that listens: introducing reciprocity to climate change communication

چکیده
Abstract As the epistemic hand in UNFCCC’S political glove, IPCC is charged with furnishing global dialogues ‘reliable knowledge’ on climate change. Much has been written about how this body of scientific information can be communicated more effectively to a diverse public, but considerably less so role communication might play making itself receptive alternative forms contribution. Climate change remains centred unidirectional model that helped science achieve greater public legibility, far not explored equivalent channels within institutional thinking for representing and other non-scientific knowledges. Anticipating new assessment report major developments Paris Agreement, now an opportunity consider ambitious pathways reciprocity IPCC’s strategy. Drawing interdisciplinary insights from social literatures, we argue only inseparable knowledge politics IPCC, activities research may prove key avenues inclusive. Recognising as developed field study practice significant influence present framework categorising communicative into those which help panel speak human voice, it listen receptively knowledge. The latter category especially invites communicators decouple ‘epistemic authority’ ‘scientific authority’, imagine expert This critical enabling active equitable dialogue underrepresented publics democratises governance, enhances legitimacy IPCC.
