The session was held as part of the School of Communication and Arts’ (SCA) Research and Seminar Series
10 July, 2024, Bengaluru: Professor Deepti Ganapathy, from the Management Communication area, recently delivered an online and on-campus session on ‘Mapping Climate Change through a macrocosm – a UNESCO-Tagged World Heritage Site in India’ at the University of Queensland, St. Lucia campus.
During the seminar, Prof. Ganapathy addressed the media’s pivotal role in climate action, saying, “Every thought on climate action should be amplified through the medium of mass media to empower individuals, communities and governments to take the necessary steps forward. Working in silos is not an option. We need collective efforts and a huge effort from the media in particulate to keep the Climate narrative consistent, correct and clear.”
An affiliate researcher at the Centre for Climate Change Communication at George Mason University, Prof. Ganapathy is the author of the book Media and Climate: Making Sense of Press Narratives (Routledge, UK, 2022). The book explores the socioeconomic and cultural understanding of climate issues and the influence of environment communication via the news and the public response to it.

Prof. Ganapathy’s work continues to influence the realm of Sustainability and Communication. A former award-winning journalist, she is an Expert Committee member of WHO’s Infodemic Management group. Her research interests include climate communication, sustainability, Health and Political Communication. An affiliate faculty at the Centre for Climate Change Communication, George Mason University and a former Visiting Scholar to UC San Diego, she is currently involved in a cross-national research study to understand the impact of Climate Change on Health.
