This book focuses on understanding the experiences of uncertainty for marginalised people living in South Asian Mountains and makes four contributions. First, it emphasises that ‘uncertainty’ is characteristic of life and living under the sign of anthropogenic climate change. This notion of uncertainty is intertwined with a pervasive sense of uncontrollability. Uncertainty is also conceptually uncontrollable as it is experienced and articulated in diverse ways across multiple domains and contexts. Second, our examination of uncertainty is situated within the South Asian Mountain regions, addressing the global frontier of climate change and the unique challenges these mountains face in relation to it. Third, we adopt methods and perspectives that incorporate indigenous and local experiences through the practice of story listening, which involves the collaborative gathering of narrative evidence that can complement other forms of evidence, including scientific data. Finally, we critically engage with and question current policy-making practices and frameworks, based on the recognition that the links between policy and uncertainty in mountain contexts have not received sufficient scrutiny.
