TraCCing Climate Change
TraCC is a database that explores the meaning of climate change by following its translations in world languages and cultures. Only by knowing the local meanings of climate change will we be able to understand, how people act and do not act upon it.
The first aim of TraCC is to document its various meanings. Its second aim is to study possible variations and to explore how they link to climate change mitigation and adaptation. For so doing, TraCC brings together the expertise of lay people and scientists to develop a decentralized and interactive ethnographic account.
TraCC encourages the expertise of lay people and scientists in developing decentralized and interactive ethnographic accounts.
