Climate change effects, views and approaches vary based on geographical location, class, gender, age and other climate related social factors. It is thus relevant to explore how various government bodies/authorities involved in dealing with climate change represent and act on social difference across diverse societies. This article performs a discourse analysis of climate policy documents from three Swedish government agencies: the Transport Administration, the Energy Agency, and the Environmental Protection Agency. This in order to explore how the different agencies represent social difference: what is made visible; what is obscured; what are the implications? We collected a purposive, collated sample of literature through online searches and personal communications with agency staff. We apply an intersectional approach to the sampled literature. The article finds that while each agency articulates an awareness of social difference, this tends to manifest in broad terms. It argues that this has the effect of obscuring differential climate impacts and effects of climate action, with potential environmental justice implications. Finally, the article concludes by proposing that incorporating intersectional approaches will support more effective, inclusive and equitable climate action, in Sweden and elsewhere.

气候变化的影响，观点和方法因地理位置，阶级，性别，年龄和其他与气候相关的社会因素而异。因此，有必要探讨参与应对气候变化的各种政府机构/当局如何代表不同社会之间的社会差异并采取行动。本文对瑞典三个政府机构的气候政策文件进行了话语分析：运输署，能源署和环境保护署。这是为了探索不同机构如何代表社会差异。什么被遮盖了；有什么影响？我们通过在线搜索和与代理商人员的私人交流收集了有目的的整理后的文学样本。我们对样本文献采用交叉方法。该文章发现，尽管每个机构都表达了对社会差异的认识，但这种倾向往往会在广义上体现出来。它认为这具有掩盖不同的气候影响和气候行动影响的作用，并可能对环境正义产生影响。最后，本文最后提出，在瑞典和其他地方，采用交叉方式将支持更有效，包容和公平的气候行动。
