From Climate Activism to Climate Reactionism:Green Political Polarization in Europe and the United States and Its Implications for Global Climate Governance
《巴黎协定》签署以来,气候变化议题在欧美国家不断被政治化,并逐渐演变为新的社会分裂轴线.一方面,以"反抗灭绝""停止石油"等组织为代表的气候激进主义运动持续扩张,通过道德化叙事、身份政治动员和非暴力直接行动推动气候议题进入主流政治议程;另一方面,以特朗普主义、欧洲极右翼政党以及部分保守派社会力量为代表的气候反动主义迅速崛起,对绿色转型、气候政策和全球气候治理体系展开系统性反制.当前欧美气候治理困境并非单纯源于减排成本上升或国际合作失灵,而是绿色政治持续极化的结果.气候激进主义虽然提升了社会对气候问题的关注度,但其危机化、道德化和意识形态化的动员方式也在客观上强化了社会反弹和政治对立,为气候反动主义提供了新的动员资源,在很大程度上形成了自我反噬.二者相互作用形成"激进主义—反动主义"循环,大大削弱了气候治理所依赖的社会共识与政策连续性,并进一步加剧全球气候治理中由来已久的领导力赤字、信任赤字和合作赤字.中国在应对气候变化过程中坚持"先立后破、通盘谋划",能源安全与绿色转型协调推进以及技术中立的原则,为缓解绿色政治极化、推动全球气候治理重回务实合作轨道提供了有益启示.
Since the signing of the Paris Agreement,climate change has become increasingly politicized in Europe and the United States,gradually evolving into a new axis of social cleavage.On the one hand,climate activist movements,represented by groups such as Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil,have continued to expand,pushing climate issues onto the mainstream political agenda through moralized narratives,identity-based political mobilization,and nonviolent direct action.On the other hand,climate reactionism,embodied by Trumpism,European far-right parties,and certain conservative social forces,has risen rapidly,systematically countering green transitions,climate policies,and the global climate governance architecture.The current impasse in climate governance in Europe and the United States stems not simply from rising emission reduction costs or failures in international cooperation,but rather from the persistent polarization of green politics.While climate activism has heightened public awareness of climate issues,its crisis-driven,moralized,and ideologized modes of mobilization have objectively intensified social backlash and political antagonism,providing new mobilizing resources for climate reactionism,and thus generating a significant degree of self-defeating dynamics.The interplay between the two forms,an"activism-reactionism"cycle,substantially erodes the social consensus and policy continuity upon which climate governance depends,and further exacerbates the long-standing deficits in leadership,trust,and cooperation within global climate governance.China,in addressing climate change,has adhered to the principles of"establishing the new before abolishing the old with comprehensive planning,"coordinating energy security with green transition,and maintaining technological neutrality.These approaches offer valuable insights for mitigating green political polarization and steering global climate governance back toward pragmatic cooperation.
