Description
This book offers a comprehensive examination of the multifaceted roles of communication in addressing global environmental challenges.
The overarching framework connecting all chapters is the belief that environmental communication is at a decisive moment, as effective communication interventions are critical for the success of global efforts to address the ecological crisis. The book emphasises the need for a global perspective in environmental communication, highlighting that dominant narratives must begin incorporating diverse voices, including minorities and marginalised communities. Chapters explore case studies such as the communication strategies of minority communities, the use of branding campaigns as an element of environmental communication and environmental communication during war. Ultimately, the contributors argue that environmental communication can be a powerful tool to raise awareness, foster public engagement and drive meaningful change in pursuit of environmental sustainability and social justice. Environmental justice and environmental communication as a care discipline are central themes, outlining the need for equal access to a healthy environment.
Bridging various academic fields to provide a holistic overview of communication as a key element of current environmental issues, this book will be of interest to researchers in the field of media and communication, environmental studies, political science and public diplomacy.
