About the Book

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.

Review :
"Climate change is one of the most significant challenges facing our planet in the 21st century. Addressing climate change is crucial for ensuring a sustainable future, yet it remains a contentious subject. Climate Change Communication in Africa offers valuable insights into the challenges and complexities of communicating climate change in Africa. Diverse in scope and rich with examples, the volume elucidates the trends, cultures and practices of communication climate change." Martin N. Ndlela, University of Inland, Norway "Climate change fundamentally challenges humankind – and communication about it is a core influence on how societies around the world deal with it. Communicating Climate Change in Africa is a much-needed contribution to research on the topic: It compiles studies about public communication about the climate crisis in a range of African countries, some of which among the most affected by the climate crisis globally. Its broad vista – from stakeholder communication over climate journalism to social media such as TikTok – will help filling the gap of scholarship on countries from the Global South." Mike S. Schäfer, Professor, University of Zurich, Switzerland "Without doubt, this book makes an important contribution to the transnational scholarship of climate change communication! It is a much-needed publication providing insight into a great variety of fascinating case studies - ranging from climate communication in local community radio, to national legacy media to social media and the role of influencer across the African continent. A must read for everyone interested in more balanced transnational debates of climate change across the Global North and Global South." Ingrid Volkmer, Professor, University of Melbourne, Australia
