Editors: Díaz-Pont, J., Maeseele, P., Egan Sjolander, A., Mishra, M., 
Foxwell-Norton, K. (Eds.)

This volume interrogates the intertwining of the local and the digital 
in environmental communication. It starts by introducing a wave metaphor 
to tease out major shifts in the field, and situates the intersections 
of local places and digital networks in the beginning of a third wave. 
Investigations that feature the centrality of place and digital 
communication platforms show how we today, as researchers and 
practitioners, communicate the environment. Contributions identify the 
need for critical approaches that engage with the wider consequences of 
this changing media landscape, unpacking local and global tensions in 
environmental communication research. This empirical case study 
collection from different parts of the world shows that environmental 
activists and citizens creatively use digital technologies for campaign 
purposes. It identifies new environmental communication challenges and 
opportunities, as well as practices, of environmental activists, NGOs, 
citizens and local communities, in the fight for social and 
environmental justice.
