Type: article
Abstract: This article aims to situate climate change by examining three scalar dissonances between "global" and "local" knowledge-making and policy action.The three dissonancesthe knowledge production and policy meaning-making nexus, the politics of urgency, and the politics of building socio-climatic future pathwaysengage deeply with the emergent literature that deals with climate change from the perspective of Human Geography Studies and the Social Studies of Science and Technology (STS).By posing guiding questions and through examples primarily from Latin American countries, this paper lays out a research agenda that advances geographical sensitivity, allowing us to better understand the "other" geographies of climate science production, circulation, and information use.Furthermore, it highlights the unresolved political and interdisciplinary tensions in accommodating global narratives in regions of the Global South.Dissonâncias escalares, produção de conhecimento, senso de urgência e narrativas sociais sobre o futuro.Contornos do debate sobre mudanças climáticas na América Latina RESUMO Este artigo tem como objetivo situar a mudança climática examinando três dissonâncias escalares entre a produção de conhecimento e a ação política nos níveis "global" e "local."As três dissonâncias (1.o nexo entre a produção de conhecimento e a formulação de políticas, 2. a política da urgência e 3. a política de construção de caminhos socioclimáticos futuros) estão intimamente ligadas à literatura emergente que aborda as mudanças climáticas sob a perspectiva
