This Handbook provides a state-of-the-art review of leading research on climate change communication. As climate change has moved further up the political agenda, the challenge of how to communicate the scientific, social, and political aspects of the climate emergency is of increasing interest to researchers, NGOs, governments, and policymakers at national and international levels. The Routledge Handbook on Climate Crisis Communication provides a concise and expert summary of this growing field, explaining the theoretical, conceptual, and empirical developments that have been made in recent years and describing the origins and connections to broader topics, including risk perception; environmental journalism; social media; and climate justice and activism.
