| Abstract: |
| Most of the global climate change mitigation discourses are dominated by two contradicting discourses: ecological modernization and the civic environmental discourse. They shape and determine how climate change mitigation practices and justice are governed in Indonesia. Based on discourse analysis, this study aims to explore the relationship between these two prominent discourses, and the way they govern climate change mitigation practices in Indonesia. We hypothesize that climate change mitigation outcomes in Indonesia are not only the result of these co-existing dominant discourses, but also of the collective decision-making and authority of different interest groups across multiple scales of governance. The various interest groups develop new discourses that reshape and redirect national policies. Our analysis suggests that Indonesia's concerns about the carbon market and financial system, along with the newer concerns about forest governance reform and equity and the emergence of new coalitions and their resistance, has led to the plurality of discourses and justice, with potential implications for Indonesia's climate change policies. |
