摘要

最近的研究表明，COVID-19大流行带来的经济衰退助长了“气候延迟”的言论。这使得环境学者和政策制定者对当前关于大流行后经济复苏的公开讨论中如何构建经济复苏与脱碳之间的关系表示关注。为了更好地理解气候延迟话语是如何被当地媒体中介的，以及它对公众支持绿色转型的潜在影响，本文研究了2020年多伦多当地流行媒体发表的相关报道。一项定性专题分析显示，公众对加拿大经济脱碳的需求不断上升。然而，这一需求也受到了另一种观点的挑战，这种观点试图将公众的注意力从化石燃料行业潜在的严重结构性危机上转移开。该研究最后警告称，“气候延迟”叙事可能会抑制公众对绿色经济复苏的支持。

Public narratives of the relationship between post-pandemic economic recovery and decarbonization: A case study of Toronto’s media sphere

Recent research indicates that the economic downturn brought by the COVID-19 pandemic has bolstered a “climate delay” discourse. This has led environmental scholars and policymakers to express concern over how the relationship between economic recovery and decarbonization is being framed in current public discussions about post-pandemic economic recovery. To better understand how the climate delay discourse is mediated by local media and its potential impact on public support for green transformation, this article examines relevant coverage published by popular Toronto local media throughout 2020. A qualitative thematic analysis reveals a rising public demand for decarbonizing the Canadian economy. However, this demand has also been challenged by a counter storyline that seeks to divert public attention from the severe structural crisis underlying the fossil fuel sector. The study concludes by cautioning against “climate delay” narratives’ potential suppression of public support for green economic recovery.

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.
