Language not only reflects and cocreates social universes but can also be and is performative regarding the planetary common good, e.g., through international treaties and agreements. This paper investigates the rationale and feasibility of altering the language used by Glasgow Climate Pact to a posthuman mode that addresses the issue of more-than-human inequality by becoming inclusive toward nonhuman actors, and presents a selection of edited excerpts. The main findings state that (1) the language of the Glasgow Climate Pact is inadequate concerning its expected agency, (2) the reasons for this include its anthropocentrism, capitalocentrism and technocentrism, and (3) it is possible to rephrase the Glasgow Climate Pact and similar documents to address the diagnosed problems in a radically inclusive way. This paper represents a starting point for a discussion on the interrelations between climate and language and on the importance of language used by policy documents in the optics of climate action.

语言影响气候



语言不仅反映和共同创造社会宇宙,而且还可以而且正在对地球共同利益进行表现,例如通过国际条约和协议。本文研究了将《格拉斯哥气候公约》使用的语言改为后人类模式的基本原理和可行性,通过对非人类行为者的包容性来解决超越人类的不平等问题,并提供了一些经过编辑的摘录。主要调查结果表明:(1)《格拉斯哥气候公约》的语言对于其预期机构而言是不充分的,(2)其原因包括其人类中心主义、资本中心主义和技术中心主义,以及(3)可以重新措辞《格拉斯哥气候公约》和类似的文件,以彻底包容的方式解决已诊断的问题。本文是讨论气候与语言之间的相互关系以及政策文件所使用的语言在气候行动中的重要性的起点。
