Sommario/riassunto |

Local discourses around the world draw on multiple resources tomake sense of a “travelling idea” such as climate change, includingdirect experiences of extreme weather, mediated reports, educationalNGO activities, and pre-existing values and belief systems. There is nosimple link between scientific literacy, climate-change awareness, and asustainable lifestyle, but complex entanglements of transnational |

andlocal discourses and of scientific and other (religious, moral etc.) ways ofmaking sense of climate change. As the case studies in this volume show,this entanglement of ways of sense-making results in both localizationsof transnational discourses and the climatization of local discourses:aspects of the travelling idea of climate change are well-received,integrated, transformed, or rejected. Our comparison reveals a majorfactor that shapes the local appropriation of the concept of anthropogenicclimate change: the fit of prior local interpretations, norms and practiceswith travelling ideas influences whether they are likely to be embracedor rejected. |
