Purpose of Review

This review explores how more transformative climate policies are emerging arguing that such policies require decision-makers to move beyond the dominant, narrow technocratic lens that I call climate isolationism.

Recent Findings

Climate isolationism refers to the common framing of climate change as an isolated, discrete, scientific problem in need of technological solutions. Stemming from dominant assumptions of patriarchal white-male conceptions of privilege and power, climate isolationism has not only been ineffective in responding to the climate crisis and mobilizing transformative change but it has also resulted in climate and energy programs, policies, and priorities that exacerbate inequities and perpetuate economic and racial injustice.

Summary

This paper reviews the inadequacy and dangers of climate isolationism, explores why climate justice provides an alternative more effective framing, and calls for more intentional consideration of power and power dynamics in climate decision-making to shift from climate isolationism to climate justice.

超越气候孤立主义：气候正义的必要转变

审查目的

这篇评论探讨了更具变革性的气候政策是如何出现的，认为此类政策要求决策者超越占主导地位的、狭隘的技术官僚视角，我称之为气候孤立主义。

最近的发现

气候孤立主义是指气候变化作为一个孤立的、离散的、需要技术解决方案的科学问题的共同框架。气候孤立主义源于父权制白人男性特权和权力观念的主导假设，不仅无法有效应对气候危机和动员变革，而且还导致了加剧不平等的气候和能源计划、政策和优先事项并使经济和种族不平等永久化。

概括

本文回顾了气候孤立主义的不足和危险，探讨了为什么气候正义提供了一种更有效的替代框架，并呼吁在气候决策中更加刻意地考虑权力和权力动态，从气候孤立主义转向气候正义。
