Abstract [en]

This thesis aims to investigate how the problem of climate change and the view of responsibility is constructed discursively in a weighty governing document such as the Paris Agreement, and how this contributes to the construction of the discourse around climate-driven migration. This is examined using critical discourse analysis and a discourse framework with three ideal-type discourses that construct the migrant and the view of responsibility differently: the security discourse, the rights discourse and the resilience discourse. The results show that the Paris Agreement formulates the problem of climate change in a way that downplays the burden of responsibility for the rich countries, which are responsible for the historically largest share of greenhouse gasemissions. Furthermore, the agreement helps to reproduce a resilience discourse and thereby construct an image of the migrant as an entrepreneurial subject who is responsible for having chosen to migrate due to a changing climate. This risks having effects in policy and decision-making where the climate issue is depoliticized and an increasingly smaller responsibility is imposed on historically responsible countries in the form of political actions such as emission reductions, and an increasing responsibility is placed on those affected by climate change to adapt to these through, for example, migration.
