*ABSTRACT*
This groundbreaking collection explores the complex intersections of
communication and climate change in Africa.From legacy media’s framing
of climate narratives to the mobilising potential of digital media, the
volume examines the multi-faceted ways in which climate change is
mediated through different communication channels and how different
media can be harnessed to amplify African voices on climate change.
Drawing on a broad range of theoretical and methodological approaches,
case studies cover all regions of the continent, providing a nuanced
examination of how the media shape our understanding of and responses to
climate change in Africa. Contributions scrutinise different facets of
climate change communication, providing illuminating accounts on
pitfalls in climate change communication, climate justice communication
strategies, social media activism and climate change, and datafication
of climate change. This is the first collection to comprehensively
address climate change communication across the continent, featuring
perspectives from all regions in Africa. An essential contribution to
the global conversation on climate change communication, the collection
will appeal to researchers, academics, policymakers, communication
activists, and students at all levels in the fields of environmental
communication, media studies and journalism, as well as general readers
keen to understand the complex dynamics of climate change in Africa.
