Abstract

This chapter is devoted to the analysis of the Russian climate change discourse. Three major sectors were examined in this study: the Russian scientific school and the development of its understanding of climate change from the nineteenth century to the present day; the international dimensions and the involvement of the Russian Federation in the international climate change mitigation process facilitated by the Kyoto Protocol, and the media coverage of the climate change issues as seen by the newspapers Vedomosti, Rossijskaya Gazeta and Kommersant. The dynamics in the climate change-related articles were studied for the period 2004–2008 and interesting concurrences were found with the important national and international climate change policy events. Exploring the discourse of 2008 in more detail, an institutional structure of the climate change debate was revealed using media discourse analysis. Over 300 organizations took part in the discourse in 2008 (of which 136 were Russian). The research highlighted 19 policy process categories to which the articles were related; leading to 40 public debated categories related to the identified policy categories. The networks of organizations clustered around different climate change policy processes and public debates are presented in the international and Russian context.
