“…Narratives can thus have a powerful persuasive impact on shaping the future and narrative analyses can contribute to understanding what visions are developed and supported by current narratives (Guske et al, 2019: 4) and to learn how to practice storytelling consciously. community's needs (da Cunha et al, 2020). The aim in the latter line of research is to engage a population in some form of change process.…”

“…The aim in the latter line of research is to engage a population in some form of change process. Narratives are considered enablers of change in these contexts, which is why they are also called narratives of change/for change (da Cunha et al, 2020;Doolin, 2003;Gearty, 2015;Milojević & Inayatullah, 2015;Wittmayer et al, 2019), even though the term is not used consistently and is sometimes referred to as narratives in general, without direct reference to change (Guske et al, 2019;Krauß & Bremer, 2020). As said, the emphasis on change in NoC relates to the function of the narratives: they not only tell something about a process and changes, they also are witnesses to certain changes and are intended to drive them.…”

“…This narrative is not constant, it can be further reshaped and redefined (Cope et al, 2019, see also Moezzi et al, 2017). Research in the context of community building and public engagement points out how important NoC are for communities to agree on common goals, values, and reasoning (Berendse et al, 2006;Chivers & Yates, 2010;Cope et al, 2019;Milojević & Inayatullah, 2015;Wittmayer et al, 2019), through which they may be engaged in building a common future vision (da Cunha et al, 2020;Wittmayer et al, 2019). Transitions research focusing on narrative follows on from these findings: NoC are used to analyze the interplay between the individual and the collective (Gearty, 2015;Hermwille, 2016) and in this way the identification processes of the individual with a group, as well as implying different types of futures (Upham & Gathern, 2021).…”

The goal of this paper is to analyze how and with what results place-based climate service co-production may be enacted within a community for whom climate change is not a locally salient concern. Aiming to initiate a climate-centered dialogue, a hybrid team of scientists and artists collected local narratives within the Kerourien neighbourhood, in the city of Brest in Brittany, France. Kerourien is a place known for its stigmatizing crime, poverty, marginalization and state of disrepair. Social work is higher on the agenda than climate action. The team thus acknowledged that local narratives might not make much mention of climate change, and recognized part of the work might be to shift awareness to the actual or potential, current or future, connections between everyday non-climate concerns and climate issues. Such a shift called for a practical intervention, centered on local culture. The narrative collection process was dovetailed with preparing the neighbourhood’s 50th anniversary celebration and establishing a series of art performances to celebrate the neighbourhood and its residents. Non-climate and quasi-climate stories were collected, documented, and turned into art forms. The elements of climate service co-production in this process are twofold. First, they point to the ways in which non-climate change related local concerns may be mapped out in relation to climate change adaptation, showing how non-climate change concerns call for climate information. Secondly, they show how the co-production of climate services may go beyond the provision of climate information by generating procedural benefits such as local empowerment – thus generating capacities that may be mobilized to face climate change. We conclude by stressing that “place-based climate service co-production for action” may require questioning the nature of the “services” rendered, questioning the nature of “place,” and questioning what “action” entails. We offer leads for addressing these questions in ways that help realise empowerment and greater social justice.

“…Importantly, different typologies of narratives can help highlight different aspects of the information and its implications, such as environmental, personal, or social aspects of climate change adaptation (Coulter et al, 2019; Jensen, 2021). Narratives also help identify adaptation pathways in complex human–environmental systems (da Cunha et al, 2020). More recently, Baulenas et al (2023) have explored the use of the storyline concept in climate‐related research and have found that PCS is one approach alongside at least two others: discourse analytical approaches, which focus on building narratives that “share meaning [of research objects] among actors, associated practices, and the underlying discourses in relation to climate change, science, and policy” (Baulenas et al, 2023, p. 6), and scenario analysis—which is defined as above.…”

Varieties of approaches to constructing physical climate storylines: A review

The physical climate storyline (PCS) approach is increasingly recognized by the physical climate research community as a tool to produce and communicate decision‐relevant climate risk information. While PCS is generally understood as a single concept, different varieties of the approach are applied according to the aims and purposes of the PCS and the scientists that build them. To unpack this diversity of detail, this article gives an overview of key practices and assumptions of the PCS approach as developed by physical climate scientists, as well as their ties to similar approaches developed by the broader climate risk and adaptation research community. We first examine varieties of PCSs according to the length of the causal chain they explore, and the type of evidence used. We then describe how they incorporate counterfactual elements and the temporal perspective. Finally, we examine how value judgments are implicitly or explicitly included in the aims and construction of PCSs. We conclude the discussion by suggesting that the PCS approach can further mature in the way it incorporates the narrative element, in the way it incorporates value judgments, and in the way that the evidence chosen to build PCSs constrains what is considered plausible.This article is categorized under: Assessing Impacts of Climate Change > Scenario Development and Application Climate, History, Society, Culture > Technological Aspects and Ideas Paleoclimates and Current Trends > Modern Climate Change
