“…To bridge these two understandings, we suggest that climatization can be considered as a symbolic process of problematizing a policy issue that is not only connected to root causes of global warming but also to political action responding to climate change effects and other related issues (cf. also Aykut et al, 2017). At the same time, we argue that climatization has the potential to be used as an analytical concept to systematically understand how climate change affects problematization, how this symbolic process evolves, how meaning is assigned to policy problems and thus created and what the methodological implications for empirically researching climatization processes are.…”

“…The first one views climatization as an analytical grid for investigating symbolic and discursive framing processes of environmental issues. In their work on climate conferences, Aykut et al (2017) describe climatization as a symbolic and discursive process in which they detect two dialogical subprocesses: climatizing global debates and negotiating climate change in global arenas. With this, they reveal climatization as the most recent and dominant form of environmentalization referring to Buttel (1992) in combination with the trend of globalization in environmentalism.…”

“…For the field of forest policy, Singer and Gießen (2017) describe a similar process that includes highlighting climate policy issues within forest governance and bringing "new actors from climate policy to the forest arena and vice-versa" (p. 73). Foyer and Dumoulin Kervran (2017) The second strand in literature describes the term "climatization" as an intentional strategy used by actors to achieve certain political goals. Grant et al (2015) apply the term to disaster risk management and define it as a process of labeling and framing disasters as events that are caused or directly intensified by climate change.…”

“…When understanding climatization as a framing process, problematizing drought in the context of climate change means considering it as a symbolic and discursive process (Aykut et al, 2017).…”

“…By frequently authoring articles in the professional associations' journals, they not only introduce scientific terms to the policy debates but also engage directly in problem diagnosis and solution finding. Already some decades ago,Alestano (1989) described this process as the "scientification of politics" (p. 11), referring to the growing complexity within policymaking processes and an increasing reliance on scientific knowledge to back up political claims and to draw up viable policy solutions.With scientification there is a tendency to assign greater value and reliability to scientific knowledge in comparison to other types of knowledge (e.g., practice-or experience-based knowledge, indigenous knowledge) (cf Foyer & Dumoulin Kervran, 2017)…”

Modes of drought climatization: A frame analysis of drought problematization in Germany across policy fields

Since 2003, droughts have been problematized within a climate change frame in Germany. Scholars describe this framing process as climatization. In our research, we conduct a qualitative content analysis of sector journal articles to investigate the climatization of drought within the three most affected policy fields in Germany: agriculture, water management, and forestry. The research objectives are to investigate how climatization processes evolve and take place within a specific policy field, and what different modes of climatization can be identified. The results are based on a framing analysis of 267 articles from journals published by political associations of farmers, water managers, and foresters at both the national and a state level, covering drought problematization relating to two major drought events in 2003 and 2011-2012. The article shows that four modes of climatization can be distinguished: scientification, securitization, technocratization, and transformation. With this empirically based heuristic, we contribute to advancing the concept of climatization by operationalizing it into a more profound, empirically grounded analytical concept that can be applied to critically investigate policymaking processes related to reducing disaster risks and achieving climate adaptation.

In this study, we review work which seeks to understand and interpret the place of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) within the science and politics of climate change in the context of a post-Paris polycentric governance regime and the culture of "post-truth" politics. Focusing on studies of how the IPCC has sought to maintain a boundary between the scientific and the political, we offer an historical account of "boundary work" within the IPCC which is instructive for thinking, in an anticipative mode, about emerging and likely challenges to the IPCC's position as a science-policy boundary organization. We suggest that the relationships between climate science and policy are undergoing fundamental transformation in light of the Paris Agreement, and contend that the IPCC will need to be nimble and reflexive in meeting new challenges. Growing calls for more "solution-oriented" assessment question the IPCC's positioning at the sciencepolitics boundary, where it can function to put some policy options on the table, while obscuring others. Recent controversies over proposed mitigation solutions are indicative of likely future challenges. We suggest that by adopting a mode of "responsible assessment," the IPCC can continue to exercise its world-making power in a relevant and legitimate fashion.

The gap between the internationally agreed climate objectives and tangible emissions reductions looms large. We explore how the supreme decisionmaking body of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Conference of the Parties (COP), could develop to promote more effective climate policy. We argue that promoting implementation of climate action could benefit from focusing more on individual sectoral systems, particularly for mitigation. We consider five key governance functions of international institutions to discuss how the COP and the sessions it convenes could advance implementation of the Paris Agreement: guidance and signal, rules and standards, transparency and accountability, means of implementation, and knowledge and learning. In addition, we consider the role of the COP and its sessions as mega-events of global climate policy. We identify opportunities for promoting sectoral climate action across all five governance functions and for both the COP as a formal body and the COP sessions as conducive events. Harnessing these opportunities would require stronger involvement of
