越来越多的文献研究了“危险行为”的个人责任也需要道德化的方式。在英国关于气候变化的讨论中，某些个人行为（例如让电器处于待机状态）被指定为负责任和/或好的，相应地被指定为不负责任和/或坏的。在这种情况下，决定参与或不参与这些类型的行为可以被视为越来越道德化。通过与英国非专业公众（参与者n96）成员的焦点小组讨论，本文将公众(s)（重新）生产和协商应对气候变化这方面话语的道德内涵与风险、道德和责任理论结合起来，为概念化气候变化缓解提供重要见解。
There is a growing literature which examines the ways in which individualised responsibilisation of 'risky behaviours' also entails moralisation. In UK discourses about climate change, certain individualised behaviours (e.g. leaving appliances on standby) are designated as responsible and/or good and correspondingly as irresponsible and/or bad. In this context, the decision to engage or not engage in these types of behaviour can be seen as becoming increasingly moralised. Drawing on focus group discussions with members of the British lay public (participant n96), this paper brings together public(s) (re)production of and negotiated responses to the moral undertones of this aspect of climate change discourse with theories of risk, morality and responsibility to develop important insights for conceptualising climate change mitigation.
