Climate Change Narratives – the Ones that Matter and Mean the Most

Abstract

Based on a synthesis of ten years of research literature on climate change and narratives, we will engage in discussions on the role of climate change communication in current climate transitions. Based on the results, we plan to discuss 1) the field of climate change narratives as scattered yet complementary, and 2) in what ways climate change narratives have the potential to nuance the revitalized, and often criticised, emergency rhetoric in climate change communication.
