Research group focused on the analysis of narratives, discursive frameworks, and social perceptions of the climate crisis and the energy transition from an interdisciplinary approach.
- To analyse how narratives about the climate crisis are constructed, disseminated, and consumed in relation to its causes and the energy transition as the main mitigation policy across different contexts.
- To propose effective communication recommendations and strategies that contribute to governance aimed at achieving a just energy transition.
- Risk communication and the climate crisis.. This line understands climate change as a chronic crisis that must be explained by emphasising solutions and their connection to everyday impacts, such as extreme weather events and health problems. Hence the need to deepen the study of social perceptions related to the public construction of narratives on ecological transition and climate action.
- Narratives on the energy transition and governance.The analysis of narratives on the energy transition is not limited to the study of their media coverage and representation, but also examines the communication strategies of all actors involved with the aim of improving governance processes
- Environmental journalism, best practices, and professional ethics.This research line focuses on environmental journalism as a professional specialisation and on the formulation of ethical and deontological recommendations for media coverage of environmental issues and the climate crisis.
