Emergency frames are mobilized in contemporary sustainability debates, both in response to specific events and strategically. The strategic deployment of emergency frames by proponents of sustainability action aims to stimulate collective action on issues for which it is lacking. But this is contentious due to a range of possible effects. We critically review interdisciplinary social science literature to examine the political effects of emergency frames in sustainability and develop a typology of five key dimensions of variation. This pinpoints practical areas for evaluating the utility of emergency frames and builds a shared vocabulary for analysis and decision-making.

在当代可持续发展辩论中，紧急框架被动员起来，以应对特定事件和战略。可持续性行动的支持者对紧急框架的战略部署旨在刺激就其缺乏的问题采取集体行动。但由于一系列可能的影响，这是有争议的。我们批判性地审查跨学科社会科学文献，以检查紧急框架对可持续性的政治影响，并开发了五个关键变化维度的类型学。这确定了评估紧急框架效用的实际领域，并为分析和决策建立了一个共享的词汇表。
