This paper is concerned with the impasse climate-informed development practices currently find themselves in. This is represented by the fact that while “solutions” to reduce vulnerabilities and enhance capacities for adaptation and resilience are increasingly adopted around the world, we have enough evidence to suggest that strategies adopted “from above” have been unable to engender transformations towards more just and liveable futures. Situating the paper within recent calls for a “post-adaptation” turn in the field, I propose a generative critique of climate-informed development through the lens of care as a place from where to begin thinking and practicing development differently. The aim of this critique is not to discard or discredit development practices as necessarily tainted or flawed but to make them accountable to a whole set of concerns and cares going into their stories of success or failures. Throughout the paper, I therefore speculatively ask the reader to think though the possibilities that may be opened when we stop treating climate-informed development projects as neutral and undisputable “matters of fact,” engaging with them instead as necessary and non-innocent “matters of care.” Thinking through a tryptic notion of “matters of care,” as at the same time a neglected doing necessary for the sustenance of life, an affective state, and an ethico-politics, I look at examples from semi-arid areas of India to give visibility to those practices, relations, and emotions of care that have been marginalised by mainstream development circles. Through this shift in perception, a deeper understanding of vulnerability as a state of shared fragility emerges, one that grounds an ethico-politics of climate-informed development to concrete circumstances and becomes the foundation upon which more inclusive practices can be built upon.

重新构想气候知情发展：从“事实问题”到“关注问题”

本文关注目前陷入的气候知情发展实践的僵局。这体现在这样一个事实：虽然减少脆弱性和增强适应和复原能力的“解决方案”在世界范围内越来越多地被采用，但我们有足够的证据来证明表明“自上而下”采取的战略无法促成向更公正和更宜居的未来转变。将这篇论文置于最近对该领域“后适应”转向的呼吁中，我通过护理的视角提出了对气候知情发展的生成性批判，作为从这里开始以不同的方式思考和实践发展的地方。这种批评的目的不是要摒弃或诋毁开发实践，因为它们必然受到污染或有缺陷，而是要让它们对一整套涉及成功或失败故事的担忧和担忧负责。因此，在整篇论文中，我推测性地要求读者思考当我们不再将气候知情的发展项目视为中立和无可争议的“事实问题”，而是将其视为必要和非无辜的“问题”时，可能会出现哪些可能性关心。” 通过“照顾问题”的胰蛋白酶概念，同时作为维持生命、情感状态和伦理政治所必需的被忽视的行为，我查看了来自印度半干旱地区的例子，以给出这些做法、关系的可见性，和被主流发展圈边缘化的关怀情绪。通过这种观念的转变，人们对脆弱性作为一种共同的脆弱状态有了更深入的理解，这种理解将气候知情发展的伦理政治建立在具体情况下，并成为可以建立更具包容性的实践的基础。
