Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
This entry introduces the term populism and summarizes its role in climate policy. On the one hand, a populist moment refers to skepticism towards global (scientific) elites such as the IPCC. These elites are perceived as a threat to the ordinary people, their jobs, and— carbon-intensive— ways of living. Any attempt to tackle global environmental dangers such as climate change, biodiversity loss, or pollution is perceived as a threat to their identity. On the other hand, the populist moment represents an opportunity to bring back democratic politics to the realm of climate science. Social movements and other political actors openly politicize climate change by relating it to issues of justice, societal struggles, and political order.
