Abstract
This study is a discourse analysis on how the term climate justice is constructed in the current Swedish Climate Action Plan (Skr.2023/24:59). The study specifically uses the method: “What’s the problem represented to be?” where the purpose is to shed a light on what kind of problem orientations, assumptions and unproblematized circumstances policy documents consist of and what consequences that can be caused because of that. Further, the study uses intersectionality as a theoretical framework which enables a discussion on which power constructions are included or excluded in climate politics. The analysis demonstrates that, even though climate justice is not expressed in an explicit way, there are several different perceptions of what... (More)
This study is a discourse analysis on how the term climate justice is constructed in the current Swedish Climate Action Plan (Skr.2023/24:59). The study specifically uses the method: “What’s the problem represented to be?” where the purpose is to shed a light on what kind of problem orientations, assumptions and unproblematized circumstances policy documents consist of and what consequences that can be caused because of that. Further, the study uses intersectionality as a theoretical framework which enables a discussion on which power constructions are included or excluded in climate politics. The analysis demonstrates that, even though climate justice is not expressed in an explicit way, there are several different perceptions of what justice means in a climate political context. These discourses can be categorized into four themes: Global justice, Social and Regional Justice, Procedural Justice and Economical Justice. Through the intersectional lens a conclusion is that the Swedish Climate Action Plan tends to use broad terms of societal groups. This can indicate a risk of reproducing a picture of the society as homogenous, despite that there are certain groups that structurally are disadvantaged due to existing societal structures. (Less)
