[Commlist] Special Issue on Antidemocratic Politics and Climate Change Communication

It is Hanna E. Morris's great pleasure to share that the */Environmental 
Communication /Special Issue on Backlash, Borders, and Bunkers: 
Antidemocratic Politics and Climate Change Communication* is now 
available and can be accessed in full here: 
https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/renc20/20/1 
<https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/renc20/20/1>

This Special Issue provides a set of fourteen rigorous and insightful 
studies. Together, these studies showcase the kind of critical climate 
change communication research that is needed to move past predominant 
(and limited) theories to open paths for more nuanced and 
deeply-contextualized scholarship on antidemocratic politics and climate 
change. This kind of research is needed more than ever. Indeed, January 
2026 marks one full year since the start of "Trump 2.0" and the violence 
and vitriol his administration has wrought.

You can read the Introduction Essay here: 
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17524032.2025.2607041 
<https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17524032.2025.2607041> (it's 
free and open access) in which the Special Issue editor reflects on this 
critical juncture of "Trump 2.0" and detail how the Special Issue's 
papers can help navigate the present moment of rising authoritarianism 
and climate policy rollbacks amid the ever-worsening impacts of climate 
change from a critical climate change communication lens.
