Media and Transnational Climate Justice captures the intriguing nexus of globalization crisis
justice activism and news communication at a time when radical measures are increasingly
demanded to address one of the most pressing global issues: climate change. Anna Roosvall and
Matthew Tegelberg take a unique approach to climate justice by focusing on transnational rather
than international aspects thereby contributing to the development of theories of justice for
a global age as well as in relation to media studies. The book specifically explores the roles
situations and activism of indigenous peoples who do not have full representation at UN climate
summits despite being among those most exposed to injustices pertaining to climate change as
well as to injustices relating to politics and media coverage. This book thus scrutinizes
political and ideological dimensions of the global phenomenon of climate change through
interviews and observations with indigenous activists at UN climate summits in combination
with extensive empirical research conducted on legacy and social media coverage of climate
change and indigenous peoples. The authors conclude by discussing transnational solidarity and
suggest a solidarian mode of communication as a response to both the global crisis of climate
change and the broader issues of injustice faced by indigenous peoples regarding redistribution
recognition and political representation.
