“…In climate research, positivist forms of knowledge have previously been prioritised at the expense of experiential knowledge, which can result in the creation of knowledge both detached from its local context and embedded in Western scientific epistemologies that are shaped by histories of colonisation (Conway et al, 2019). Engaging citizens and rightsholders in research and decision-making is one way to challenge these in-grained hierarchies of knowledge and their problematic manifestations in the creation of knowledge relevant to climate change (Sawatzky et al, 2018;Kipp et al, 2019;van Bavel et al, 2020). Participatory processes, including collaborative, co-productive, and cross-cultural methods for knowledge production, can provide more place-based and contextual nuance to previously positivist climate and environmental modelling processes (Lynam et al, 2007;Nakashima et al, 2012;Alshaikh, 2013;Crate et al, 2019;Gotts et al, 2019;Mach et al, 2020).…”

From participatory engagement to co-production: modelling climate-sensitive processes in the Arctic

Participation is increasingly being used in the modelling of climate-sensitive systems to improve usability. Bottom-up, place-based approaches to modelling can challenge the dominantly positivist approaches used until recently. We examined how participation is reported within modelling research that uses participatory approaches, focusing on the Arctic. Our systematic scoping review identified 26 articles that used participatory approaches in modelling research to explore a climate-sensitive process in an Arctic setting and analysed the degree of participation at each stage of the process for each article. A diversity of topics, modelling approaches, and participant groups were identified. Most studies (71%) occurred in the North American Arctic, and all studies engaged with non-Western knowledge types to some degree. Participation was most commonly reported at the model generation and participant identification stages, and least commonly reported in the choice of modelling type. Participatory scores—based upon the number and degree of participatory stages of a study—were higher where authors gave instrumental or transformative rationales for the use of participation, and among studies which described prioritising non-Western knowledge types. Detailed reporting of participatory processes was frequently absent, suggesting a need for clearer discussions of these issues in the descriptions of the process.

Climate change is expected to exacerbate existing food security challenges, especially in Indigenous communities worldwide. Community-based monitoring (CBM) is considered a promising strategy to improve monitoring of, and local adaptation to climatic and environmental change. Yet, it is unclear how this approach can be applied in food security or Indigenous contexts. The objectives of this paper are to: (1) review and synthesize the published literature on CBM of Indigenous food security; and, (2) identify gaps and trends in these monitoring efforts in the context of climate change. Using a systematic search and screening process, we identified 86 published articles. To be included, articles had to be published in a journal, describe a CBM system, describe any aspect of food security, and explicitly mention an Indigenous community. Relevant articles were thematically analyzed to characterize elements of CBM in the context of climate change. Results show that the number of articles published over time was steady and increased more than two-fold within the last five years. The reviewed articles reported on monitoring mainly in North America (37%) and South America (28%). In general, monitoring was either collaborative (51%) or externally-driven (37%), and focused primarily on tracking wildlife (29%), followed by natural resources (16%), environmental change (15%), fisheries (13%), climate change (9%), or some combination of these topics (18%). This review provides an evidence-base on the uses, characteristics, and opportunities of CBM, to guide future food security monitoring efforts in the context of climate change.

“…To better understand the landscape of existing community-based monitoring programs in the North, Kipp et al conducted a review and environmental scan to identify, characterize, and contextualize existing environmental and health monitoring programs [20]. This review identified elements that are necessary to support climate-related health surveillance, including the need for strong community leadership, the inclusion of environment and human health, and the incorporation of innovative technology.…”

This special issue brings together a series of papers that were presented at the Northern, Rural, and Remote Health Conference in Labrador, Canada. In this collection, scholars and community leaders use local examples to explore some of the most pressing issues in Circumpolar health: Indigenous self-determination in health care and health research; access to traditional medicines; language and identity; youth engagement; mental health; climate change; and health technology. Recognizing the dynamic ways that these topics were raised at the conference, we've included a diverse slate of papers: from commentary essays and case studies, to primary research and evidence synthesis. The goal of this special issue is to bridge local insights, innovations, and varied forms of evidence from the Circumpolar North, with global conversations about health equity, health system transformation, and the rights of Indigenous peoples. This editorial provides an overview of the conference and an introduction to the scholarship that emerged from it.
