O objetivo desse artigo é discutir o uso do método teoria fundamentada em um campo de pesquisa emergente que combina governança e mudança climática. No entanto, o uso da abordagem da teoria fundamentada na pesquisa em sustentabilidade, especialmente ‘soft science’ na área de mudanças climáticas, é escasso. Diferentes métodos de construção de teoria são utilizados nas ciências sociais aplicadas. A maior parte da literatura científica nessa área é focada em ‘hard science’. Entender as dimensões sociais da mudança climática é, literalmente, um tema quente a ser estudado. Mudanças no comportamento humano, fluxo de financiamento, instrumentos de política, e governança multinível são necessários para mitigar e gerenciar os principais riscos climáticos. Keywords: theory building, grounded theory, sustainable development research, soft science, REDD+, climate change.Ī mudança climática é um problema global, complexo e incerto, pois é impulsionado pelo comportamento humano, e apresenta riscos no longo prazo para os sistemas naturais e humanos. Thus, scholars and graduate students are encourage to test and validate (or not) the emerging theoretical framework. Instead of discussing best procedures and techniques to build grounded theory, which are largely accessed through several peer-reviewed publications, our focus is to provide a practical guide and discuss lessons learned from the field to integrate the ‘REDD+ Governance Theoretical Framework’. The article presents substantive results of an emerging theoretical framework that explain the governance process of REDD+ in Brazil, an United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) climate finance mechanism focused on mitigating forest-related emissions in developing countries. The intent of this paper is to discussion the use of the grounded theory method in an emergent research field that combines governance and climate change. However, the use of the grounded theory approach in sustainability research, specially on ‘soft science’ in the field of climate change, is scarce. Different methods of theory building are used in applied social sciences. Most of the scientific literature in the field is focused on the ‘hard science’. Understanding the social dimensions of climate change is, quite literally, a hot topic to be studied.
Changes in human behavior, financing flow, policy instruments, and multilevel governance are needed for mitigating and managing major climate risks. Contract number: Processes 2014/11950-/21877-0Īward recipient: SUSTAINABILITY RESEARCH: A GROUNDED THEORY APPROACH IN THE FIELD OF CLIMATE CHANGEĬlimate change is a complex and uncertain global problem because it is driven by human behavior, with long-term climate-related risks for natural and human systems.
