政府“漂绿”:全球气候治理失范危机解析

Government greenwashing:a crisis of global climate governance irregularity

以政府为行为主体的“漂绿”现象日趋严重,全球气候治理失范危机加剧,阻碍各国实现自身绿色发展目标,破坏开展国际气候合作所必需的诚信基础。政府“漂绿”在目的、手段、策略等方面与企业“漂绿”迥异,宏观性、战略性、政治性特征显著。与企业“漂绿”相比,政府“漂绿”特别是在国际气候合作中的“漂绿”行为影响更广、危害尤甚,包括破坏国际气候合作的互信基础,干扰关于全球绿色行动进展状况的评估,动摇全球经济治理秩序。当前,具有国际法地位的监管机制缺位,加强国际监管协作、组织诚信的自律机制、支持大众媒体等外部力量监督是阻遏政府“漂绿”现象增加趋势的务实之策,有助于探索全球气候治理有效路径,促进国际气候合作深化,实现《巴黎协定》提出的全球温升控制目标。

Greenwashing by governments is becoming increasingly serious.The crisis of global climate governance malfeasance is intensifying,preventing countries from achieving their own green development goals and undermining the foundation of integrity needed for international climate cooperation.Government greenwashing is different from corporate greenwashing in terms of purpose,means,and tactics,and is characterized by its macro,strategic feature,and political nature.Compared with corporate greenwashing,government greenwashing,especially in international climate cooperation,has a wider impact and is particularly harmful,including undermining mutual trust in international climate cooperation and interfering with the progress of global green action.This includes undermining the basis for mutual trust in international climate cooperation,interfering with the assessment of progress in global greening,and shaking the order of global economic governance.At present,the regulatory mechanism with the status of international law is absent.Strengthening international regulatory collaboration,organizing honest self-regulatory mechanisms,and supporting external forces such as the mass media to monitor are pragmatic measures to stop the trend of increasing government greenwashing,which would help to explore effective paths of global climate governance,promote the deepening of international climate cooperation,and achieve the global temperature goal proposed in the Paris Agreement.
