| Research summary | This project will address Indonesia and Australia climate policy coverage in the media. Using quantitative survey, content analysis, and human-centred design methodologies, this research will focus on at-risk rural communities who are especially vulnerable to the direct and indirect impacts of climate change. The project will aim to: (1) produce a comprehensive up-to-date summary report on the knowledge and perception of at-risk rural communities in relation to climate policies, and the first report on identified shared challenges in Indonesia and Australia of media communication towards rural communities regarding specific climate policies; (2) produce a detailed report on the patterns, volume, targeting and factual correctness of media coverage on current climate policies relevant to at-risk rural communities, and the first report on transferable best practices in media communication about climate policies towards at-risk groups like rural communities in Indonesia and Australia; and (3) design and develop a user-friendly online platform serving as the first comprehensive information portal designed to enhance media communication on climate change policies among at-risk rural communities in Indonesia and Australia. The overarching aim of this project is to understand the media communication of climate policy and enhance public capacity – especially among members of at-risk rural communities – to evaluate the reliability of information and engage with climate policies that are relevant to them. |
