“…However, turning to the empirical and focusing specifically on climate science communication, the prophecy of a new dawn has not yielded many investigations. While a modest number of studies in the last decade have examined the role perceptions of climate scientists and climate journalists, the role of citizens has been largely neglected (Nicolaisen, 2021). The contemporary literature on the role perception of climate scientists has primarily focused on their views regarding the appropriateness of advocacy.…”

A State of Emergency or Business as Usual in Climate Science Communication? A Three-Dimensional Perspective on the Role Perceptions of Climate Scientists, Climate Journalists, and Citizens

Building on post-normal science, Brüggemann et al. (2020) suggest that the uncertain, disputed, high-stakes, and urgent character of the climate challenge facing modern societies may alter the conventional notion of what is expected of scientists, journalists, and citizens in the public discussion of climate science. This article examines this notion via 15 focus groups with climate scientists, climate journalists, and citizens ( N = 76). The analysis shows that neither of the three actors want climate scientists and climate journalists to act as advocates. However, interestingly, it is seen as legitimate for climate scientists to express emotions connected to their findings.

“…Overall, bibliometric analysis is a flexible method that may be used to highlight significant trends, players, and opportunities for future research as well as to give a quantitative and objective image of a study subject (Nicolaisen, 2010) Overall, there are many possible research areas in the fields of climate change and CET, and both will likely continue to grow as long as economic and social repercussions continue to alter how businesses collaborate and compete (Dutta, A.,2018). As a result, good practices that businesses can use to advance the development of carbon emission trading are demonstrated.…”

The goal of this study is to illustrate the value that climate change adds to carbon emission trading by examining the papers that were found by doing a literature review on Scopus databases. In this study, the journal addressing the topic of "carbon emission trading" with the maximum number of records from the sources included in the "Web of Scopus" content has been chosen. The terms "climate change" and "carbon emission trading" should be searched for simultaneously in every paper published in the journal between the years of 2001 and 2022, according to research utilizing bibliometric analysis. To get at the results and an explanation of the data, a bibliometric analysis and citation mapping process are conducted taking into account all factors. VOSviewer is used to show co-authorship analysis of keywords, co-authorship analysis of citation networks, and bibliometric networks of results and findings in the form of scientific mapping. A technique for assessing a single journal's performance is bibliometric analysis. The validity of a single journal can be evaluated using bibliometric analysis, however there are some restrictions to be aware of. This situation is described in detail as a study constraint. A technique for assessing a single journal's performance is bibliometric analysis. The validity of a single journal can be evaluated using bibliometric analysis, however there are some restrictions to be aware of. One drawback of bibliometric analysis is that it relies on quantitative measurements, like citation counts, which ignore the caliber of the research. It is possible to assess a single journal's performance using bibliometric analysis, but it's necessary to be aware of its limits. The findings of a bibliometric analysis were used in this study to identify contributions, gaps, and limitations. The issue is organized around four clusters: IC, climate change, carbon emission trading, emission trading and carbon dioxide. It is appropriate to emphasize the paper's originality because previously unknown themes are handled in a creative way.

“…Notions of responsibility constitute a central tenet of social life as "all spheres of belonging that encompass our social being are delimited by explicit or implicit attempts at defining, assigning, assuming, questioning or resisting" (Hage and Eckersley 2012;p. 2) our individual but also collective responsibility vis-à-vis ourselves and society at large. A modern, human-centric conception of responsibility combines the "capacity to be accountable" with the "capacity to reflect on this accountability" (Hage and Eckersley 2012;p.…”

“We are not droids”– IPCC participants’ senses of responsibility and affective experiences across the production, assessment, communication and enactment of climate science

The growing understanding of how and why the climate is changing has led to mounting calls on climate scientists to take on more responsibility in the context of climate science. While an increasing responsibilisation takes place in the academic literature, asking scientists to “do more”, there is limited engagement with the responsibilities that scientists already assume in practice. Drawing on novel empirical insights from 77 semi-structured interviews with participants of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), I take the increasing ‘peer-to-peer responsibilisation’ as a point of departure to contextualise such calls, asking what scientists themselves already feel and assume responsibility for at both the personal and professional level. I find that climate experts participating in the IPCC not only assume increasing responsibility across different stages of the IPCC process but also beyond. As my data analysis demonstrates, IPCC participants increasingly feel and take on responsibility not only for producing and assessing climate science but also for communicating and/or enacting it (PACE). The contribution of the article is threefold. Firstly, it makes sense of the mounting peer-to-peer responsibilisation by surfacing and contextualising how, why and with what consequences particular climate knowledge holders already assume responsibility for climate science at four key moments (PACE). Secondly, conceiving of the IPCC as a community of practice, the article provides novel insights into the work of IPCC participants and their individual experiences with the institution and its processes. Thirdly, the article adds evidence to a growing body of literature on practices of responsibility and climate emotions by focussing on participants' individual affective experiences. As the 7th Assessment Cycle gathers pace, I propose some measures the IPCC may undertake to support participants in assuming their responsibilities in the context of climate science.
