To co-produce locally relevant climate knowledge, climate scientists are engaging in new collaborations—with stakeholders and with scholars in the humanities, arts, and social sciences. In our work as a Shakespeare scholar-turned-public-humanist and a climate scientist, we have created a methodology that allows researchers and communities to co-produce knowledge by co-producing narratives. We combine principles from emerging climate “storylines” research with collaborative storytelling inspired by William Shakespeare's plays and theatrical practices. Shakespeare's plays spark collaborations and interpretations, in part, because of how Shakespeare leaves gaps in the narrative. These gaps allow others to enter as collaborators, creating a “cognitive ecology” that fosters knowledge and action among all engaged. Integrating these methods into climate storyline-making offers a radical paradigm: it upends the scientist's role as the focal storyteller and expert, and fosters, instead, partnership, equity, and a co-exploration of multiple uncertainties. It is time for researchers to cede control to a cognitive ecology of collaborative action.

注意差距！气候科学家应该从威廉莎士比亚的合作讲故事中吸取教训

为了共同生产与当地相关的气候知识，气候科学家正在与利益相关者以及人文、艺术和社会科学领域的学者进行新的合作。在我们作为莎士比亚学者转变为公共人文主义者和气候科学家的工作中，我们创建了一种方法，使研究人员和社区能够通过共同生产叙述来共同生产知识。我们将新兴气候“故事情节”研究的原则与受威廉莎士比亚戏剧和戏剧实践启发的协作讲故事相结合。莎士比亚的戏剧激发了合作和解释，部分原因在于莎士比亚如何在叙事中留下空白。这些差距允许其他人作为合作者进入，创造一个“认知生态”，促进所有参与者的知识和行动。将这些方法整合到气候故事情节制作中提供了一种激进的范式：它颠覆了科学家作为焦点故事讲述者和专家的角色，而是促进了伙伴关系、公平和对多重不确定性的共同探索。现在是研究人员将控制权交给协作行动的认知生态的时候了。
