Who has the right to define what is climate change research should be? Who should define the climate change research topic, research questions, and research design? Who should own the climate change research result? How can the community lead to climate change research? How should we re-learn to consider community people as researchers?
How does the anti-racist form of climate change research look like?
I think that answering this question need joint multi efforts: scientist, politics, conservator and ecological citizen.
The solution is, how labs and university allowing citizen understanding results about climate change and annual changing and evolution of climatic parameters !!! ?
Also, the popularization of these new trend and concepts of climate, suistinability, environment, wildlife to next generation ?
Thanks Bara Mouslim for your comments. Yes, I agree that we all need to learn, unlearn, and relearn the way we do understand and practice our research. According to Indigenous scholar, Tuhiwai Smith "'research' is probably one of the dirtiest words in the Indigenous world's vocabulary" (Smith, 2001). The meanings of research become colonized, greedy, and corrupted in the neoliberal era. Therefore, as a researcher, we have a responsibility to reclaim the meanings of research from and with the community.
Interesting question Ranjan Datta and need multidisciplinary knowledge in every area. since all have linked altogether as a food web. Following.
Thanks Praneeth Silva for your kind words. Yes, we all need transdisciplinary understanding and practice.
As these are issues that involve the whole world, discussions should be discussed and decided jointly with goals that each country must achieve. From this, each country defines how to achieve the goals defined according to its reality and capacity. Another important point for sustainability is the exchange of experiences between countries through conferences.
Thanks José Henrique Pastorelli Junior for your comments. I think we need multi-efforts to decolonize climate change research. For instance, 1) decolonize both research and researchers in climate change research; 2) decolonize institutional practice; 3) decolonize community responsibilities; 4) decolonize local and national climate change policy, funding, and practices; 4) building transnational solitaries.
Thanks Miara Mohamed Djamel for your comment. Yes, to a certain degree, but we, as a human, have been making it significantly faster for our greediness. If we are still in denial, our future generation will not forgive us.
The questions posed are true for any other field of research, the answer should be the well-being-oriented national science policy.
Thanks, Antonio Franco-Crespo for your comment. Yes, I agree with you. We need to reclaim our ways of knowing and doing from neo-liberal (greedy) science policy.
