Description du projet
L’engagement des citoyens dans les questions liées au changement climatique
Il est prouvé que les émotions jouent un rôle déterminant dans la participation et la communication politiques. Il est donc essentiel de comprendre et de répondre de manière appropriée aux besoins émotionnels des citoyens et à leurs réactions face aux politiques climatiques afin de parvenir à une action démocratique coordonnée. Le projet CIDAPE, financé par l’UE, étudiera l’interaction entre l’engagement des citoyens, le changement climatique et les inégalités. En examinant le rôle des émotions dans l’argumentation rationnelle et l’engagement, le projet vise à mieux comprendre comment les personnes comprennent les défis du changement climatique et y répondent activement. CIDAPE révèle les mécanismes d’action politique et propose des outils, des instruments politiques et des guides. Il souligne que la crise climatique est une occasion unique d’encourager la solidarité et de dépolariser le débat public, en insistant sur l’importance de la confiance du public, d’institutions solides et de politiques qui trouvent un écho auprès des citoyens.
Objectif
CIDAPE is a groundbreaking project at the forefront of research on the complex interplay between citizen engagement, climate change, and social and economic inequalities. At its core lies the recognition that emotions play a fundamental role in political participation and communication. Understanding and responding to citizens' emotional (re)actions - as set up by CIDAPE's inquiry - are essential to achieving coordinated, democratic action.
With a focus on the perceived and articulated emotions around climate and inequality, CIDAPE proposes a comprehensive, multi-methods approach and multidisciplinary analysis of the force of political emotions in European politics of climate change. The project's WPs delve into emotions in the political sphere, media, everyday life, global-local entanglements, social movements, and citizen engagement showing how emotions shape people's rational argumentation, engagement, and ultimately, who and what they care about.
CIDAPE seeks to uncover the core mechanisms and processes at the heart of political action - at the policy, polity, and politics levels - and proposes participatory tools, policy instruments, and methodological guides to address these challenges. The project emphasizes that the climate crisis provides a unique opportunity to unite citizens across the political spectrum and that the success of coordinated democratic action will require high levels of public trust, strong institutions, and policies that resonate with citizens' political emotions. the Consortium assembles experienced researchers from political science, sociology, linguistics, communication science, and international relations, and distinguished representatives from civil society across nine European countries. It has a strong dissemination strategy, aiming at diverse citizen groups at local, national, and supranational levels of democratic engagement.
