“…As such, measuring media attention by the volume, or frequency, of broadsheet newspaper coverage has long been a common method in agenda-setting research (Howlett, 1997;Kiousis, 2004). Examples in the context of climate change include countrylevel analyses of quality newspapers in the US (Boykoff, 2007;McComas and Shanahan, 1999), the UK (Boykoff and Mansfield, 2008;Carvalho and Burgess, 2005) and various continental European countries (Aykut et al, 2012;Kleinschmit and Sjöstedt, 2014;Pasquaré and Oppizzi, 2012). More recently, a number of studies have also started to explore media coverage in emerging and developing economies such as Mexico (Gordon et al, 2010), Peru (Takahashi and Meisner, 2013), Bangladesh (Miah et al, 2011), China (Yang, 2010) or India (Jogesh, 2012).…”

We present an international comparison of broadsheet newspaper coverage of climate change. We employ two complementary theoretical lenses, multiple streams theory and institutional theory, to explore why climate change has become headline news in some countries but has received comparatively little coverage in others. The study utilizes a worldwide sample across 41 different countries for the year 2008, covering 113 leading national broadsheet newspapers. A cross-sectional regression model is used to identify whether and how a range of contextual factors impact coverage of climate change. To a certain extent, a country's direct exposure to climate change and the measures that have been taken to combat global warming influence the position of climate change on the media agenda. Crucially, however, we identify a number of contextual factors that impact climate change-related media coverage in different national contexts. In particular, we find a significantly positive relationship between regulatory quality and levels of media coverage. At the same time, unemployment trends are significantly negatively related to media attention to climate change. GDP per capita does not help to explain levels of climate change-related media coverage. In other words, climate change appears to have moved beyond simply being a 'rich country issue'.

“…Ces publications académiques doivent elles aussi être placées dans le contexte de l'évolution du changement climatique comme problème public. Jusque récemment, le cadrage du problème climatique est resté puissant et hégémonique, d'autant plus qu'il était porté par une large constellation d'acteurs -scientifiques du climat, ONG environnementales, instances onusiennes, Union européenne… -tous très attachés à la justification des politiques climatiques par des vérités scientifiques indépendantes (Aykut et al, 2012). Ce cadrage, parfois qualifié de science irst (Howe, 2014) ou de scientiste, c'est-à-dire fondé sur la conviction que la science est l'unique autorité qui justifie la décision politique (Wynne, 2010), est resté longtemps très solide, avec plusieurs conséquences.…”

Le changement climatique d'origine humaine, comme le changement global auquel est attachée la notion d'Anthropocène, sont des domaines dont la contextualisation est problématique en raison des échelles en jeu, de la gravité des problèmes et du rôle central des sciences. Cet article rend compte de travaux qui replacent ces questions d'environnement global dans des contextes historiques, sociaux et politiques, et des problèmes qu'ils soulèvent. Les deux domaines ont des statuts différents, et les enjeux sont dissemblables. Dans le cas du changement climatique, problème public mondial doté d'institutions internationales, les travaux sur la construction du problème et les rapports entre science et politique se sont opposés à un cadrage naturaliste prédominant. S'agissant de l'Anthropocène, notion peu stabilisée et appropriée par plusieurs groupes d'acteurs, des contextualisations partielles contestant certaines globalisations soulèvent des débats épistémiques et politiques.Abstract Human-caused climate change, like the global change to which the notion of the Anthropocene refers, are areas in which contextualisation is problematic due to the scales involved, the gravity of the problems, and the central role of the sciences. This article considers studies that resituate these issues of global environment in historical, social and political contexts, as well as some of the problems they raise. The two domains have different statuses, and the stakes are dissimilar. In the case of climate change, a global public problem endowed with international institutions, research on the construction of the issue and the relations between science and politics have been set against a predominant naturalist framing. In the case of the Anthropocene, a notion that has not yet stabilised and has been appropriated by several groups of actors, partial contextualisations contesting certain globalisations raise epistemic and political debates.
