An ambitious climate policy? (English)
Abstract [en]

The purpose of this essay is to map the debate regarding the government's climate policy andhow it is perceived from the perspective of different actors. The questions asked are: whichfocus areas are prioritized by the various actors and how does it relate to the IPCC's definitionof an ambitious climate policy? Also, based on the framework concept, which competingperspectives can be identified in the debate? The material that forms the basis of the essay ispublished "climate agendas" from the actors' websites. The theoretical framework applied inthe essay is framing theory, together with an operationalization of the concept of ambitiousclimate policy. The theory forms the framework in the essay's analysis part. To structure thework, a qualitative method has been applied. A functional idea analysis feels relevant basedon the design of the study as the aim is to consider climate policy in relation to certainspecific actors within the climate policy sphere. The idea analysis is actor-centered with theaim of giving a more vivid presentation by writing how certain actors argue in the debate.Previous research shows that many actors are difficult but beneficial and necessary to be ableto make the climate transition more efficient. On the other hand, attention is drawn to a kindof inertia in the current system that stops benefits that outside actors could contribute to theprocess. In agreement with previous research, this essay shows that many actors make itdifficult to create a climate agenda that includes all interests. However, the results indicatethat more actors are necessary to be able to design a more comprehensive climate policy.Despite an increased diversity of actors, national governments will still be a character as thecomprehensive laws, budget proposals and taxes affect which actors are included in the work.The essay's results show that many actors unite around some areas, but the motives behind,and the management options vary. Regardless of whether an actor has been assigned a role inthe environmental movement or not, it can be seen that three out of four actors have anoutspoken criticism of the government's climate policy.
