“…I have argued that previous governments, namely the Harper government in Canada (2006Canada ( -2015, underplayed the threat of Arctic climate change to the livelihood of Arctic residents and, by extension, to Indigenous Peoples, focusing instead on the threat to the ecosystem. 7 Government rhetoric frequently frames climate change as a threat to ecosystems and wildlife. 8 Lara Johannsdottir and David Cook study the Arctic Circle Assembly, a major international conference sponsored by the Government of Iceland to facilitate collaborative opportunities between governments and non-state actors.…”

The fact that Indigenous Peoples' organizations have "Permanent Participant" status in the Arctic Council is often touted as one of the most positive features of the organization. However, the signifi cance of being a permanent participant is contested. How does the Arctic Council itself characterize the status of Inuit, and permanent participants in general? How does the Inuit Circumpolar Council characterize its position in the Arctic Council? How do the governments of Canada, Denmark, Russia, and the United States-countries where Inuit reside-describe the participation of Inuit? This article presents a content analysis of a selection of primary documents to illuminate the answers to these questions. The major fi nding is that Inuit describe their status as leaders in the Arctic Council, while states and the Arctic Council itself describes them as participants.

“…Discourse analysis has been used to examine how the media, governments, and corporations have framed climate change issues [ 21 ]. Chater [ 22 ] highlighted how the Conservative government in Canada de-emphasized the impact of climate change on humans. Kapranov [ 23 ] analyzed the framing of climate change by fossil fuel corporations in Europe and the US.…”

Understanding everyday conversations about climate change may provide insights into framing the issue to promote climate change action. As part of a longitudinal online study in the US launched in June 2021, 805 respondents were asked if they had discussed climate change with a friend or family member in the prior month; if not, why not, and if yes, they were asked to delineate the conversation topic. Concurrent mixed methods were used to analyze the data. The majority (62.6%) of respondents reported not having a conversation about climate change in the prior month. Among those who indicated that they had discussed climate change, five themes were identified from the conversation topics, with many having reported discussing the impact of climate change on weather patterns. Very few discussed actions to address climate change, and most of these discussions focused on individual-level behaviors rather than collective actions. Among participants who had not recently discussed climate change, the most prevalent theme was that it was not a priority or an issue they cared about. Results suggest that conversations may not lead to collective actions and that policymakers and environmental organizations should provide guidance on effectively channeling climate change concerns into action.

Background: In recent decades, climate has become one of the most hotly contested issues in relation to the ecological crisis. It encompasses challenges of such magnitude that “climate change” on its own has almost come to constitute a multidisciplinary area of research where scholarly and popular discourses interact forcefully.Analysis: This article uses both symbolic-religious and ethical frameworks to describe a sample of scientific articles on climate change. It focuses on the Canadian context and favours a communicational perspective. Also, it symmetrically applies to scholarly discourse categories that are usually reserved for popular discourse. In doing so, it proposes an explanation of the ethical, symbolic, and religious perspectives through which the works in our discipline address climate change.Conclusion and implication: This article’s originality lies in its analysis of how cultural categories influence communication about the environment. Through this approach, it highlights the connections between popular and scholarly discourses on climate.Contexte : Relativement à la crise écologique, le climat est devenu l’un des objets les plus âprement disputés au cours des dernières décennies. Il cristallise des enjeux d’une telle ampleur que le « changement climatique » en est presque arrivé à constituer un domaine de recherche pluridisciplinaire à lui tout seul. Les discours savants et populaires s’y entrechoquent avec force.Analyse : L’article croise une typologie symbolico-religieuse et une typologie éthique pour caractériser un corpus d’articles scientifiques portant sur le changement climatique, s’intéressant au contexte canadien et privilégiant une perspective communicationnelle. Appliquant de manière symétrique au discours savant des catégories qui sont habituellement réservées aux discours populaires, l’article propose une articulation des registres éthicosymbolico-religieux dans lesquels les travaux dans notre discipline s’inscrivent relativement au changement climatique.Conclusion et implications : L’article apporte un éclairage original en analysant la production en communication environnementale à travers des catégories culturelles, établissant ainsi sur la question climatique des ponts entre culture populaire et discours savant.
