标题：O desafio da comunicação da pesquisa sobre riscos climáticos na agricultura familiar: a experiência de uso de cartilha educativa no Semiárido nordestino
摘要：With a focus on the perceptions of smallholder / family farmers from the North-eastern Semiarid region of Brazil - one of the most climate change-vulnerable populations of the country-, this article describes the collaborative creation and dissemination process of a didactic booklet ( cartilha educativa, in Portuguese) aimed at sharing visions of climate change-related risks and adaptation strategies of smallholder farmers from the region. The research team, member of the subnet on Climate Change and Regional Development (MCDR/Rede CLIMA), applied 1.140 semi-structured questionnaires in four selected areas: Seridó Potiguar-RN, Gilbués-PI, Juazeiro-BA and Chapada do Araripe-CE. The survey focused on, among others, family farmers’ perceptions on climatic risks and adaptation options, as well as their cultural values and expectations regarding the future of their rural livelihoods. Based on those perceptions and expectations, a didactic booklet was chosen as the best instrument to co-create knowledge about climatic change impact and adaptation strategies in the region. By prioritizing dialogue and the exchange of viewpoints – or, in Habermas’ words, “the negotiation of common definitions of situations”-, the team assumed that potential users are more likely to trust knowledge, and may therefore be willing to act on it, when from their perspective it meets three criteria: relevance, credibility, and legitimacy. In general terms, the experience of using this didactic booklet confirmed that barriers to successful climate change adaptation (such as mutual incomprehension between scientists and end-users) could be overcome by creating collaborative enterprises. The co-creation of the didactic booklet, which included switching roles between knowledge producers and end-users, facilitated horizontal work towards the identification of climate-related risks and possible adaptation measures.
