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, journalism, as well as general readers keen to understand the complex dynamics of climate change in Africa.
