Abstract

AbstractAs research on far-right climate change communication focuses on climate skepticisms, little is known about how the far-right justifies climate acceptance—and what this might mean for environmental education and counter-communication. To initiate a discussion of communicative strategies through which far-right actors might become more accepting of climate mitigation, we, first, reconstruct the narrative structure underlying far-right climate acceptance. Drawing on insights this reconstruction provides and assuming that such acceptance contains lessons for persuasive communication with far-right skeptics, we, second, discuss a number of axioms for counter-communication to be used in environmental education and teaching practice.Keywords: far rightclimate change communicationnarrativeskepticismcounter-communication Disclosure statementNo potential competing interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 In this piece, we operationalize “far right” as the political ideology comprising, at its core, ethnonationalism (ethnicity is the key criteria of belonging to the nation) and authoritarianism (strong, order-like state and centralized leadership epitomized in a strongman).2 In line with contemporary conventions, we use narrative and story interchangeable (Riessman, Citation2008, p. 7).

极右翼关于气候变化接受度的叙述及其在应对气候怀疑主义方面的作用

由于对极右翼气候变化传播的研究主要集中在气候怀疑论者身上，人们对极右翼如何证明气候接受是合理的——以及这对环境教育和反传播可能意味着什么——知之甚少。为了开始讨论极右翼行动者可能更接受气候减缓的沟通策略，我们首先重建极右翼接受气候变化的叙事结构。利用这种重建提供的见解，并假设这种接受包含了与极右翼怀疑论者进行有说服力的沟通的经验教训，其次，我们讨论了一些用于环境教育和教学实践的反沟通公理。关键词:极右气候变化传播叙事怀疑主义反传播披露声明作者未报告潜在的竞争利益。注1在这篇文章中，我们将“极右”作为一种政治意识形态来运作，其核心是民族民族主义(种族是属于一个国家的关键标准)和威权主义(强大的、有序的国家和集中的领导集中在一个强人身上)根据当代惯例，我们使用叙事和故事互换(Riessman, Citation2008，第7页)。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
