“…To address concerns relating to the research process, they propose that researchers need to be multiculturally competent and aware of how marginalised people are positioned. Cokley and Awad, Barnes (2018), Lipscombe et al (2021), and Daszkiewicz et al (2022) agree that there is a need for researchers to be respectful and aware of the multiple ways that power disparities and coloniality are reinscribed and should be addressed throughout the research process. Furthermore, to dismantle the unequal power division between the researcher and those who are researched, researchers need to interrogate their assumptions and how these assumptions could contribute to perpetuating inequality through the use of research methodology (Barnes, 2018).…”

Climate change is a global problem caused by humans. Climate psychology scholarship aims to assist human beings in mitigating and adapting to this problem’s consequences. A brief scoping review was conducted first. The findings indicated that most of the literature was quantitative and theoretical in orientation, with only two qualitatively focused. A dearth of information exploring qualitative methodologies was found. The brief scoping review justified the need for this narrative review that explored the critical methodologies used by climate psychology scholars. The narrative review covered the period 2009–2022. Search terms included ‘climate psychology’ and ‘climate change and psychology’. A critical transformative paradigm informed the analysis. The narrative review found that climate psychology scholars in the selected articles actively addressed social justice and represented marginalised peoples’ voices through participatory action research, grounded theory, narrative theory, capabilities theory, discursive psychology, and strengths-based approaches. Three authors presented their positionality statements. Ten articles used a qualitative approach, while three used a quantitative approach. The use of interviews and thematic analysis was dominant. Researchers demonstrated an awareness of power and its influence on the research process. The methodology could be enhanced if they provided more detail on how they addressed power as a guide for future researchers. Furthermore, it would be beneficial to explore their perceptions of how critical methodologies can be more actively incorporated into climate psychology scholarship.

“…This shapes the kind of knowledge funders seek, affecting the design and criteria of research proposal requirements, as highlighted in Box 3 below. Scholars have previously reflected on how institutionalized research practices hinder researchers' engagement with diverse knowledge systems at every step of a research project, including fundraising (Daszkiewicz et al, 2022).…”

PurposeThe authors revisit the notion of co-production, highlight more critical and re-politicized forms of co-production and introduce three principles for its operationalization. The paper’s viewpoint aims to find entry points for enabling more equitable disaster research and actions via co-production.Design/methodology/approachThe authors draw insights from the authors’ reflections as climate and disaster researchers and literature on knowledge politics in the context of disaster and climate change, especially within critical disaster studies and feminist political ecology.FindingsDisaster studies can better contribute to disaster risk reduction via political co-production and situating local and Indigenous knowledge at the center through three principles, i.e. ensuring knowledge plurality, surfacing norms and assumptions in knowledge production and driving actions that tackle existing knowledge (and broader sociopolitical) structures.Originality/valueThe authors draw out three principles to enable the political function of co-production based on firsthand experiences of working with local and Indigenous peoples and insights from a diverse set of co-production, feminist political ecology and critical disaster studies literature. Future research can observe how it can utilize these principles in its respective contexts.

“…Climate change impacts are already being experienced and will only become more significant in the coming decades. Notably, impacts will be most strongly felt by those already marginalised or vulnerable within societies [1]. However, in addressing the climate crisis, there is a risk in creating new or exacerbating existing injustices-especially if rapid and deep transitions are to be targeted [2].…”
