气候紧急状态:一种传播语境的转换

Climate Emergency: A Transformation of Communication Context

近年来,“气候变化”成为国际传播中的核心议题之一。越来越多的科学家和专业人士倡导在新闻报道和公共传播中以“气候紧急状态”代替“气候变化”等概念开展气候传播工作。在气候传播日趋走向“部落化”的背景下,“气候紧急状态”概念的普及将会推动气候传播中的媒体角色和报道议题的转换,从而带来气候传播的语境转型。但同时这一转型过程放大了科学与媒体两者之间的逻辑争议,缺乏对现有气候传播结构性问题的回应。“气候紧急状态”的概念凸显了全球气候治理中的国家间博弈。为此,我国的国际传播工作者应当对以“气候紧急状态”为代表的全球气候传播转型进行批判性接受和本土化借鉴。

In recent years, " climate change" has become one of the core issues in international communication. More and more scientists and professionals are using " climate emergency" instead of " climate change" in news reporting and public communication. In the context of the increasing " tribalization" of climate change communication,the popularization of the concept of " climate emergency" will promote a shift in the role of media and reporting issues in climate change communication and bring about a shift in the context of climate change communication. However,this transformation process also magnifies the logical dispute between science and media and lacks a response to the existing structural problems of climate change communication. In the contextual transformation of climate change communication,the concept of " climate emergency" highlights the international competition in global climate governance. In this regard,international communicators in China should critically accept and locally learn from the transformation of global climate change communication represented by the " climate emergency".
