Communication and climate crisis: lessons learned and new challenges in the face of an unavoidable challenge

News coverage of the climate crisis has an undoubted impact on public perception. Through this essay we start from a generic explanation of the phenomenon analyzed to explore its representation in the journalistic field. Due to its complex nature, the climate crisis presents several difficulties in accessing the information agenda, resulting in an account of the events marked by an intermittent presence and a biased focus. However, from the academic and professional spheres, different narrative proposals have been promoted that allow these shortcomings to be overcome and promote social adhesion to the struggle. This communication presents some of the most notable and summarizes the main points of improvement to promote journalism in transition, in which the backbone is situated around the solutions available to the citizen, impelled to act by a continuous and close story. To conclude, the new challenges that have arisen from the popularization of social networks are exposed, such as obstructionism, misinformation and hate speech towards public representatives who, through their policies, try to mitigate the effects of the crisis.
