Abstract

The study aims to investigate how digital media frame and present environmental issues and challenges of climate change in terms of four environmental and climate challenges: mitigation, adaptation, finance, and collaboration. The study also seeks to understand the extent that government bodies mobilize digital media to disseminate and promote necessary environmental challenges during COP27 climate summit in Egypt. The study uses the discourse analysis approach to define the key themes and issues that are portrayed and to understand how digital platforms reflected the conference agenda and climate change challenges. We analyzed 119 posts and news reports published on the conference website and Instagram account during November 2022. Results revealed that the platforms framed challenges of climate change during COP27 in many ways: the opportunity to find solutions, the urgency to address climate issues, and taking immediate actions in terms of transparency, adequate finance, ease of support flow, cooperation, participation, and youth involvement. Furthermore, the data indicate that the finance challenge has a strong relationship with all themes and challenges presented and discussed on the platforms. This indicates that African countries benefited from hosting COP27 by presenting their environmental concerns, the financial, and technological challenges they face in order to obtain global support.
COP27 气候峰会期间数字媒体对气候变化挑战的描述
本研究旨在调查数字媒体如何从减缓、适应、融资和合作这四个环境和气候挑战的角度来构建和呈现环境问题和气候变化挑战。本研究还试图了解在埃及 COP27 气候峰会期间,政府机构在多大程度上调动数字媒体来传播和宣传必要的环境挑战。本研究采用话语分析方法来定义所描述的关键主题和问题,并了解数字平台如何反映会议议程和气候变化挑战。我们分析了 2022 年 11 月期间在会议网站和 Instagram 账户上发布的 119 篇帖子和新闻报道。结果显示,这些平台以多种方式描述了 COP27 期间的气候变化挑战:寻找解决方案的机会、解决气候问题的紧迫性,以及在透明度、充足的资金、支持流动的便利性、合作、参与和青年参与等方面立即采取行动。此外,数据表明,资金挑战与平台上提出和讨论的所有主题和挑战都有密切关系。这表明,非洲国家从主办缔约方大会第二十七届会议中获益匪浅,它们介绍了自己的环境问题、面临的资金和技术挑战,以获得全球支持。
