This book draws on a broad spectrum of environmental communications
and related cross-disciplinary literature to help students and
scholars grasp the interconnecting key concepts within this
ever-expanding field of study. Aligning climate change and
environmental learning through media and communications,
particularly taking into account the post-COVID challenge of
sustainability, remains one of the most important concerns within
environmental communications. Addressing this challenge, Essential
Concepts for Environmental Communication synthesises summary
writings from a broad range of environmental theorists, while
teasing out provocative concepts and key ideas that frame this
evolving, multi-disciplinary field. Each entry maps out an
important concept or environmental idea and illustrates how it
relates more broadly across the growing field of environmental
communication debates. Included in this volume is a full section
dedicated to exploring what environmental communication might look
like in a post-COVID setting: * Offers cutting-edge analysis of the
current state of environmental communications. * Presents an
up-to-date exploration of environmental and sustainable development
models at a local and global level. * Provides an in-depth
exploration of key concepts across the ever-expanding environmental
communications field. * Examines the interaction between
environmental and media communications at all levels. * Provides a
critical review of contemporary environmental communications
literature and scholarship. With key bibliographical references and
further reading included alongside the entries, this innovative and
accessible volume will be of great interest to students, scholars
and practitioners alike.

Environmental literacy and education is not simply a top-down
process of disseminating correct attitudes, values and beliefs.
Rather, it is one that incorporates and facilitates a dialogue with
audiences of different persuasions and at all levels of engagement,
to help highlight and co-produce consensual solutions to the major
eco-challenges of our time. Exploring the growing power and
influence of media formats and outlets like YouTube and gaming,
alongside fictional and documentary film, this book considers new
modes of environmental literacy to ascertain the effectiveness of
digital and filmic stimuli on an audience's perception of
environmental issues, and its specific impact on environmental
action. Drawing on extensive research across a broad range of media
formats, Brereton establishes how environmental narratives and
meanings are created and being received by contemporary audiences.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of
environmental communication and media, eco-criticism and
environmental humanities more broadly.
Environmental ethics presents and defends a systematic and
comprehensive account of the moral relation between human beings
and their natural environment and assumes that human behaviour
toward the natural world can and is governed by moral norms. In
contemporary society, film has provided a powerful instrument for
the moulding of such ethical attitudes. Through a close examination
of the medium, Environmental Ethics and Film explores how
historical ethical values can be re-imagined and re-constituted for
more contemporary audiences. Building on an extensive
back-catalogue of eco-film analysis, the author focuses on a
diverse selection of contemporary films which target audiences'
ethical sensibilities in very different ways. Each chapter focuses
on at least three close readings of films and documentaries,
examining a wide range of environmental issues as they are
illustrated across contemporary Hollywood films. This book is an
invaluable resource for students and scholars of environmental
communication, film studies, media and cultural studies,
environmental philosophy and ethics.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of Ireland's response
to the climate crisis. The contributions, written by leading
scholars across a range of disciplines in the social sciences,
humanities and beyond, shed light on diverse aspects of the climate
crisis, the factors shaping Ireland's response, and prospects for
the future. Long regarded as a 'climate laggard', Ireland's
response to the urgent societal challenge of climate change has
seen new momentum in recent times. The volume will serve as a key
reference point for academics, students, policymakers, and a wide
range of stakeholders. It will be of interest to readers within
Ireland, as well as further afield, who wish to gain a deeper
understanding of the constraints on, and opportunities for,
successful climate action in Ireland.
