日本語
本研究は、中国の低炭素都市変革におけるメディアの役割を、システム思考と学際的視点から分析した。多様なメディア報道が気候問題への認識を高める一方、専門記者不足で深い分析は限定的である。ビジュアル形式は注目を集めるが、国営メディアの深い報道が政策や産業変革に大きな影響を与える。メディアは情報伝達に加え、ステークホルダー間の対話を促進するが、気候不安や誤情報などの課題も存在する。

📄 Abstract（原文）
Urban areas, with dense populations and concentrated consumption, are major contributors to CO₂ emissions, accelerating the progression of the Anthropocene. In this context, low-carbon city transformation is essential for sustainability and climate resilience. This transformation is a complex process requiring collaboration across sectors and stakeholders, with media serving as a crucial communication bridge connecting government, the public, and other actors. This study uses in-depth interviews combined with systems thinking and transdisciplinary insights to analyze media coverage and its role in China’s low-carbon city transition. Basing on our cases, this study finds that (1) diverse media reporting raises public awareness of climate and low-carbon issues, but in-depth analysis and scientific interpretation remain limited due to a shortage of trained climate journalists. (2) Visual formats like videos and animations effectively capture public attention, while in-depth written reports, especially from state media, exert greater influence on policy and industrial transformation. (3) Beyond information dissemination, media facilitate dialog among government, businesses, NGOs, and citizens, promoting collective action in low-carbon city transformation. However, challenges such as climate anxiety, misinformation, and algorithm-driven information gaps undermine trust and engagement. This study highlights the media’s vital role in raising awareness, influencing behavior, and connecting stakeholders, providing insights to support better policy decisions and climate communication strategies for sustainable urban futures.
