COP28. Representing Climate Change: Problems and Challenges for the 4th Estate

To coincide with COP28, we are delighted to invite you to an interactive webinar on “Representing climate change: Problems and challenges for the 4th Estate".

In this interactive online webinar the experts will discuss the vital relationship between the mainstream media and the public understanding of climate change.

The speakers will focus upon both the external obstacles facing journalists in their attempts to explain to the public the fundamental threat to humanity of climate change and the problematic ways in which the media have sought to depict activists exercising their right to civil disobedience to challenge governmental inaction on the issue.

• Prof Trevor Hoey, Pro Vice-Chancellor International & Sustainability, Brunel Univeristy London
• Dr Simon Weaver, Reader in Media and Communications, Brunel Univeristy London
• Dr Anita Howarth, Senior Lecturer in Journalism, Brunel Univeristy London
