Media and Climate Change Narratives

The podcast covers the role media plays in raising public awareness of key issues while also discussing the risks of conspiracy theories and misinformation. It tries to understand the different ways media can be used as a platform in climate change discussion. Thereby, we look at the need for understanding the criticality and methods of engaging in climate communication, especially in the global south, which is necessary for equitable response.
