The transformative potential of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions: An assessment of the concepts’ ability to contribute to transformational change
نویسنده
چکیده
This mixed methods study aims at evaluating the transformative potential of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs). Earlier studies on the subject have outlined a lack of clarity both on the concept of NAMAs and on how developing countries will use it in their climate actions and thus its ability to contribute to transformational change. The mixed method approach used was: quantitative content analysis of Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) from developing countries referring to NAMAs combined with qualitative thematic analysis of NAMA proposals from eight selected countries. An explanatory sequential design was used which means that the first quantitative phase aimed at giving an initial understanding of NAMAs transformative potential. The purpose with the second phase, the qualitative analysis was then to deepen that understanding, by applying transformation theories. The two phases of analysis was integrated in the discussion section to get a more complete picture of the transformative potential. The result shows that the intent with NAMAs in the INDC consists of great uncertainties. A variety of NAMA designs was found in both phases of the study. In all of the eight more closely studied countries elements of transformation could be identified, which indicates that NAMAs could be designed to have transformative potential. Sammanfattning Denna mixade metod studie syftar till att utvärdera Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) transformativa potential. Tidigare studier har visat på stora oklarheter när det gäller konceptet NAMAs och hur utvecklingsländer har tänkt använda det i sitt framtida miljöarbete och således dess möjlighet att bidra till transformation. Den mixade metoden som använts är: kvantitativ innehållsanalys av Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) från utvecklingsländer som refererar till NAMAs, kombinerat med kvalitativa tematiska analyser av NAMA förslag från åtta valda länder. En förklarande sekventiell design har använts vilket betyder att den första kvantitativa fasen syftade till att ge en första förståelse av NAMAs transformativa potential. Syftet med den andra fasen, den kvalitativa analysen var att fördjupa den förståelsen, genom att använda transformations teorier. De två faserna integrerades sedan i diskussionen för att få en mer komplett bild av den transformativa potentialen. Resultatet visar att utvecklingsländernas intention med NAMAs i INDC består av stora osäkerheter. En stor diversitet av olika NAMA designer hittades i både studiens faser. I alla de åtta detaljstuderade länderna hittades element av transformation som tyder på att NAMAs kan designas för att få en transformativ potential.
