For many years, the objective of environmental campaigners was to
push climate change on to the agenda of political leaders and to
encourage media attention to the issue. By the first decade of the
twenty-first century, it appeared that their efforts had been
spectacularly successful. Yet just at the moment when the
campaigners' goals were being achieved, it seemed that the idea of
getting the issue into mainstream discussion had been mistaken all
along; that the consensus-building approach produced little or no
meaningful action. That is the problem of climate change as a
'post-political' issue, which is the subject of this book.
Examining how climate change is communicated in politics, news
media and celebrity culture, Climate Change and Post-Political
Communication explores how the issue has been taken up by elites as
potentially offering a sense of purpose or mission in the absence
of political visions of the future, and considers the ways in which
it provides a focus for much broader anxieties about a loss of
modernist political agency and meaning. Drawing on a wide range of
literature and case studies, and taking a critical and contextual
approach to the analysis of climate change communication, this book
will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of
environmental studies, communication studies, and media and film
studies.
