This revised and fully updated second edition of the Routledge Handbook of Environment and Communication provides a state-of-the-art overview of environmental communication theory, practice and research.
The momentous changes witnessed in the politics of the environment as well as in the nature of media and public communication in recent years have made the study and understanding of environmental communication ever more pertinent. This is reflected in this second edition, including a number of exciting new chapters concerned with: environmental communication in an age of misinformation and fake news; environmental communication, community and social transformation; environmental justice; and advances in methods for the analysis of mediated environmental communication.Signalling the key dimensions of public mediated communication, the Handbook is organised around five thematic parts:
the history and development of the field of environmental communication research,
the sources, communicators and media professionals involved in producing environmental communication,
research on news, entertainment media and wider cultural representations of the environment,
the social and political implications of environmental communication,
and the likely future trajectories for the field.
Written by leading scholars in the field, this authoritative text is a must for scholars and students of environmental communication across multiple subject areas, including environmental studies, media and communication studies, cultural studies and related disciplines.

"Hansen and Coxs updated Handbook powerfully illustrates the importance of environmental communication scholarship and practice in contributing to societal change. Reflecting upon the fields achievements thus far, the editors and multiple authors of this collection also help (re)orient its future directions, making issues of justice a critical and necessary focus of its work."
