Media and Transnational Climate Justice captures the intriguing nexus of globalization, crisis, justice, activism and news communication, at a time when radical measures are increasingly demanded to address one of the most pressing global issues of our times: climate change.
Media and Transnational Climate Justice captures the intriguing nexus of globalization, crisis, justice, activism and news communication, at a time when radical measures are increasingly demanded to address one of the most pressing global issues: climate change. Anna Roosvall and Matthew Tegelberg take a unique approach to climate justice by focusing on transnational rather than international aspects, thereby contributing to the development of theories of justice for a global age, as well as in relation to media studies. The book specifically explores the roles, situations and activism of indigenous peoples who do not have full representation at UN climate summits despite being among those most exposed to injustices pertaining to climate change, as well as to injustices relating to politics and media coverage. This book thus scrutinizes political and ideological dimensions of the global phenomenon of climate change through interviews and observations with indigenous activists at UN climate summits, in combination with extensive empirical research conducted on legacy and social media coverage of climate change and indigenous peoples. The authors conclude by discussing transnational solidarity and suggest a solidarian mode of communication as a response to both the global crisis of climate change and the broader issues of injustice faced by indigenous peoples regarding redistribution, recognition and political representation.

" Media and Transnational Climate Justice makes a major contribution to our understanding of media and climate change by amplifying and contextualizing crucial and often missing voices of transnational Indigenous peoples and activist networks. In articulating and defining what climate justice means and why it matters, Roosvall and Tegelberg reveal the silencing, muffling, and misframing of Indigenous perspectives, and highlight the need for more just, fair, and accurate journalism that addresses potential universal and particular futures with climate change."-Candis Callison, Associate Professor, Graduate School of Journalism, University of British Columbia
