Producing nationalized futures of climate change and science in India

ABSTRACT

The complex relationship between climate knowledge production and political action has long been discussed. Critical and post-colonial analyses have looked at how models, used to produce scientific projections of climatic shifts, produce novel concepts of territory by the nation-state. The production of novel political temporalities has largely been ignored, however. This chapter critically analyses and compares two climate reports produced by the Indian Government. These reports, the first climatology reports developed in India, represent two significant shifts in the State’s temporal imaginary of climate change and climate politics. First, the State, through these reports, temporally orients itself to the future (models of potential climates-to-be), rather than the past (attribution of historical responsibility to Northern states) as it had during the first half of international climate negotiations at the United Nations. Second, by focusing on the development of regional-specific models, the Indian government subtly continues to resist the imposition of a synchronized, global time of climate change, albeit through a nationalist framework. If the meaning of climate change is ultimately derived from a clash of competing temporalities between Global South and North, as well as between humanity and Nature, it speaks to the necessity of post-colonial scholars to engage directly with the meanings of the future in the Anthropocene.

在印度生产气候变化和科学的国有化期货

摘要

长期以来,人们一直在讨论气候知识生产与政治行动之间的复杂关系。批判性分析和后殖民主义分析都研究了用来产生科学的气候变化预测模型的民族国家如何产生新的领土概念。但是,新型政治时态的产生在很大程度上被忽略了。本章严格分析和比较了印度政府提供的两份气候报告。这些报告是印度最早的气候学报告,代表了该州对气候变化和气候政治的时间想象的两个重大转变。首先,国家通过这些报告在时间上将自己定位于未来(潜在的未来气候模式),而不是过去(在联合国国际气候谈判的上半年)过去的历史(将历史责任归于北方国家)。其次,尽管着眼于民族主义框架,但印度政府通过专注于发展针对特定地区的模式,巧妙地继续抵制强加于全球同步的气候变化时期。如果气候变化的含义最终源自全球南方与北方之间以及人类与自然之间相互竞争的时间冲突,那么这就说明后殖民地学者有必要直接参与未来的意义。人类世。尽管通过民族主义框架,印度政府仍继续巧妙地抵制强加于全球同步的气候变化时期。如果气候变化的含义最终源自全球南方与北方之间以及人类与自然之间相互竞争的时间冲突,那么这就说明后殖民地学者有必要直接参与未来的意义。人类世。尽管通过民族主义框架,印度政府仍继续巧妙地抵制强加于全球同步的气候变化时期。如果气候变化的含义最终源自全球南方与北方之间以及人类与自然之间相互竞争的时间冲突,那么这就说明后殖民地学者有必要直接参与未来的意义。人类世。
