项目摘要

As youth climate activism grows around the world, this project will generate unique understandings into how families composed of first and second generation immigrants from the Global South (GS) are responding to lived experiences of climate crisis in two ethnically diverse cities: Manchester and Melbourne. As well as growing up at a historic crossroads in terms of political and societal responses to the climate crisis, second generation immigrants are at an additional crossroads in their family life, between sets of political and cultural values, economic possibilities and environmental characteristics that have roots in (at least) two countries. This pioneering project will be the first of its kind to conduct research with this often overlooked group of young people, generating insights from two cities, with young people from a range of ethnic backgrounds. The question at the heart of the project is how second generation immigrants - part of the most 'climate change-aware' generation alive today - discuss and negotiate responses to the climate crisis with parents who may have first-hand experience of living with resource and climate uncertainty, yet whose knowledge is often not valued in Global North (GN) contexts. This area of research is both timely and important because at a time when deep-rooted adaptations are urgently needed in societies already feeling the effects of climate change, GS immigrants hold valuable knowledges that are often not known to or fully appreciated by the public and by policy makers in the GN contexts where they are living. Existing research with adult immigrants in the GN has found that immigrants show a higher disposition towards 'sustainable' practices such as reducing household waste, using water sparingly, and walking or cycling over driving. As cities seek to meet ambitious sustainability agendas and as city residents increasingly feel the effects of climate change, the knowledge and experience of GS immigrants can offer insights into how to respond to drought, extreme weather and other effects of climate change. The role of young people in carrying environmental education messages from schools to homes is well researched and documented (including by the PI). However, an important but largely unexplored area is how second generation immigrants respond to and make parents' knowledge of living with climate uncertainty known in schools, where such knowledge can enrich and diversify existing climate change education. The project will employ an action research methodology that will support young people's participation by training them to carry out research in their homes and work with parents, peers, teachers and researchers. The action research will result in a toolkit documenting resources for diversifying education on climate change (among other outputs). This has the potential to benefit students, teachers, policy-makers and environmental NGOS, and in particular second generation immigrants and their families as the valuable knowledge they hold is recognised, debated and applied in Manchester, Melbourne and beyond. Concurrently, the project will make important academic contributions to the fields of environmental politics, political geography and critical environmental education through publications in leading social scientific journals, the PI's first monograph and presentations at international conferences. These academic outputs will position the PI as a leading researcher who is uniquely positioned at the intersection of these fields. The research will furthermore strengthen international networks that the PI and mentors have begun to build through their existing research into environment, sustainability and migration. At a time when knowledge on how to respond to the 'wicked challenge' of climate change in diverse societies is more needed than ever, the research has significant potential to lead to further international collaborations to advance this important and unique area.

随着青年气候行动主义在世界各地的发展，该项目将对来自南半球第一代和第二代移民（GS）的家庭如何应对曼彻斯特和墨尔本这两个种族多元化城市的气候危机生活经历产生独特的理解。除了在气候危机的政治和社会反应方面成长在一个历史性的十字路口之外，第二代移民在其家庭生活中也处于另一个十字路口，在政治和文化价值观、经济可能性和环境特征之间有根源在（至少）两个国家。这个开创性的项目将是同类中第一个对这一经常被忽视的年轻人群体进行研究的项目，从两个城市、来自不同种族背景的年轻人中产生见解。该项目的核心问题是，第二代移民——当今最具“气候变化意识”的一代人——如何与可能拥有资源和生活第一手经验的父母讨论和协商应对气候危机的方案。气候不确定性，但他们的知识在北半球（GN）背景下往往不被重视。这一领域的研究既及时又重要，因为在已经感受到气候变化影响的社会迫切需要根深蒂固的适应之际，GS移民掌握着宝贵的知识，而这些知识往往不为公众所知或充分理解。他们所居住的 GN 环境中的政策制定者。现有对尼泊尔成年移民的研究发现，移民对“可持续”做法表现出更高的倾向，例如减少家庭垃圾、节约用水、步行或骑自行车而不是开车。随着城市寻求实现雄心勃勃的可持续发展议程，以及城市居民日益感受到气候变化的影响，GS 移民的知识和经验可以为如何应对干旱、极端天气和气候变化的其他影响提供见解。年轻人在将环境教育信息从学校传播到家庭方面的作用已得到充分研究和记录（包括PI）。然而，一个重要但很大程度上尚未探索的领域是第二代移民如何应对并让家长了解如何在学校中了解气候不确定性的生活知识，这些知识可以丰富现有的气候变化教育并使其多样化。该项目将采用行动研究方法，通过培训年轻人在家中开展研究并与父母、同龄人、教师和研究人员合作来支持年轻人的参与。行动研究将产生一个工具包，记录气候变化教育多样化（以及其他产出）的资源。这有可能使学生、教师、政策制定者和环保非政府组织受益，特别是第二代移民及其家人，因为他们所拥有的宝贵知识在曼彻斯特、墨尔本及其他地区得到认可、辩论和应用。同时，该项目将通过在领先的社会科学期刊上发表文章、PI的第一本专着和在国际会议上的演讲，为环境政治、政治地理学和批判环境教育领域做出重要的学术贡献。这些学术成果将使 PI 成为在这些领域的交叉领域具有独特地位的领先研究人员。该研究还将进一步加强首席研究员和导师通过其现有的环境、可持续性和移民研究开始建立的国际网络。当不同社会比以往任何时候都更需要了解如何应对气候变化的“严峻挑战”时，这项研究具有巨大的潜力，可以促进进一步的国际合作，以推进这一重要而独特的领域。
