The role of the media in responding to climate and environmental change is crucial. In the field of communication, they act as intermediaries between scientific actors, political decision-makers and the public. The media play a fundamental role in informing, raising awareness and educating populations at different levels on climate and environmental issues to help them understand the issues and act. They disseminate scientific discoveries and innovations, reports from various works on climate change and environmental events, such as natural disasters, deforestation rates, biodiversity loss, and others. They also allow for the dissemination of best practices that have an impact on the adverse effects of climate change and environmental degradation. The media can help promote these positive responses to climate and environmental change. They can also play a monitoring role by monitoring the actions of governments, non-governmental organizations, private companies and other actors in society. In doing so, they can encourage debate and public engagement, and have a significant impact on public policy by increasing the accountability of decision-makers and promoting transparency and equity in the implementation of interventions.
