Knowing Humans
- Making Climate Social
-
Social media has transformed the communication of climate change, challenging established sources of scientific knowledge and providing new opportunities to rethink and reframe the ways we talk about the issue. This project, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, explores how our understanding of climate change has evolved across different social media platforms, and what this means for the future of climate change communication.
