Actors purposefully frame up their issues in multilateral negotiations to reach their desired goals. How were the issues related to mitigation framed up during the two decades of climate negotiations that yielded the Paris Agreement, what was the mechanism for the evolution of the frames and why did only certain crucially contested frames find traction? In these quests, this work conducts a simultaneous content and frame analysis by applying the framing theory and maps the historic evolution pathways of the related issues. The qualitative analysis identifies a process of frame generation through the contested rhetoric framing by the actors, in line with their primary logics which were shaped by their mental schemata. It finds that the act of framing was the sine-qua-non for the sustenance and traction of the issues, but the fates of the crucially contested frames were determined by the powerful actors. Applying the concept of framing allows the systematic visualization of the negotiation process related to Greenhouse Gas mitigation at the annual conferences of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and helps explain how and why certain outcomes appeared.

构筑成果:与《气候公约》谈判中的缓解相关的问题

行为者有目的地在多边谈判中解决其问题,以实现其期望的目标。在产生《巴黎协定》的二十年气候谈判中,与缓解相关的问题是如何形成的?框架演变的机制是什么?为什么只有某些受到激烈争议的框架才具有吸引力?在这些探索中,这项工作通过应用框架理论进行了同时的内容和框架分析,并绘制了相关问题的历史演变路径。定性分析通过演员的有争议的修辞框架,根据他们的心理图式塑造的主要逻辑,确定了框架生成的过程。研究发现,构架行为是维持和牵引问题的必要条件,但是激烈竞争的框架的命运是由强大的演员决定的。应用框架概念可以在《联合国气候变化框架公约》年会上系统化显示与缓解温室气体有关的谈判过程,并有助于解释某些结果的产生方式和原因。
