Book Announcement Climate and Sustainability Communication: Global Perspectives (2017).

In this edited collection, chapters build upon traditional approaches to understanding mass media’s role in shaping social issues by amplifying diverse perspectives of opinion leaders, as well as voices of those affected by climate and sustainability issues. From South Korea and China, to the U.S., and Zambia, studies reported in this book emphasize cultural orientation and global implications of climate and sustainability concerns and issues. Chapter authors attend to the cultures, geographies, and media systems underpinning climate and sustainability campaigns emerging around the world, how we theorize about them, and ways media are used to communicate about them. Reported studies use a variety of formal research methods, including content analysis, interview, and survey. Complex problems and opportunities associated with globalization and power inequities as these interplay with climate and sustainability communication require interdisciplinary, creative approaches. Thi!
 s book opens new conversations for integrating scholarly arenas of mass media communication, science and environmental communication, political communication, health communication and their respective theory and research method sets.
