一年一度的联合国气候峰会得到了全球媒体的广泛报道（1-3），因此可以吸引世界各地的当地公众，激发有关气候政治的辩论和知识，并最终动员人们对抗气候变化。本文表明，与这些希望相反，尽管德国公众接触到了有关2015年巴黎峰会的新闻，但他们并没有以更积极的方式参与其中。通过三波在线小组调查（配额样本，N = 1121）比较峰会之前、期间和之后的知识和态度，我们发现受访者了解了一些关于会议的基本事实，但他们仍然缺乏关于气候政策的基本背景知识。对全球气候政策的信任略有增加，但公民不太倾向于支持德国在气候政治中发挥主导作用。此外，他们也不太可能亲自参与气候保护。这些结果表明，这一全球媒体事件具有适度的安抚作用，而不是动员作用。
The annual UN climate summits receive intense global media coverage(1-3), and as such could engage local publics around the world, stimulate debate and knowledge about climate politics, and, ultimately, mobilize people to combat climate change. Herewe showthat, in contrast to these hopes, although the German public were exposed to news about the 2015 Paris summit, they did not engage with it in a more active way. Comparing knowledge and attitudes before, during and after the summit using a three-wave online panel survey (quota sample, N = 1,121), we find that respondents learnt a few basic facts about the conference but they continue to lack basic background knowledge about climate policy. Trust in global climate policy increased a little, but citizens were less inclined to support a leading role for Germany in climate politics. Moreover, they were not more likely to engage personally in climate protection. These results suggest that this global media event had a modest appeasing rather than mobilizing effect.
