气候变化是一个重大的环境、社会和环境问题，已被国际上的科学家们一致认定。环境非政府组织（ngo）认为澳大利亚政府的反应是不充分的。非政府组织是社会的“变革推动者”，在这个角色中，他们正在鼓动影响应对气候变化的政治决策。本文概述了澳大利亚非政府组织正在使用的运动策略，以吸引公众和政治关注气候变化问题。以七个非政府组织为个案，查阅和分析这些组织的档案资料。目前的学术和其他文献也被用来反映其有效性。确定了四个运动主题，其中有15项活动。研究结果表明，ngo采取的是“革命性”还是“渐进式”策略，或者其他学者提出的狭隘策略，这一概念对于分析活动来说过于简单：没有一个ngo似乎有意倾向于某一种策略。这一发现提出的问题是，非政府组织目前的“多战略”方法是否有效。本研究有助于填补非政府组织在环境问题上的运动策略方面的信息空白，并突出了进一步研究的必要性。
Climate change is a significant environmental, social and environmental problem that has been identified by scientists in consensus internationally. The Australian Government’s response is considered by environmental non-government organisations (NGOs) to be inadequate. NGOs are ‘change agents’ of society, and in this role they are agitating to influence political decision-making on climate change response.This paper outlines the campaign strategies being used by Australian NGOs to attract public and political attention to the issue of climate change. Using seven NGOs as case studies, the archival materials of these organisations were accessed and analysed. Current academic and other literature also was used to reflect on their effectiveness. Four campaign themes and, within these, fifteen activities were identified.The results indicate that the notion of whether NGOs are undertaking an ‘revolutionary’ or ‘incremental’ approach, or any other narrow strategic approach put forward by various scholars is too simple for analysing campaigns: none of the NGOs appear to intentionally favour one type of strategy. The question raised by this finding is whether the NGOs’ current ‘multi-strategic’ approach is effective. This research contributes to filling the information gap with regard to NGO campaign strategies on environmental issues, and highlights the need for further research.
