Shifting Portrayals of Climate-Vulnerable Communities With Josephine Latu-Sanft
Manage episode 428686652 series 3585083
This episode features a conversation with international communications expert, Josephine Latu-Sanft. It was recorded in September 2023.
With nearly two decades of experience in journalism, communications, and education, Josephine’s work focuses on global issues like climate change, ocean protection, and sustainable development.
Advocating for the empowerment of small island developing nations or, as I’ll be calling them from now on, big ocean sustainable states, Josephine draws from her personal experience growing up in climate-vulnerable Tonga.
Amongst other things, we discussed the need to challenge portrayals of climate-vulnerable peoples in the media, the ways that words can influence reality, and the power that shifting established narratives can have on the perceptions and perspectives of such communities.
