Abstract

A edição número 58 da Alceu traz o meio ambiente para o centro do campo comunicacional contemporâneo. O dossiê Crise climática e desafios comunicacionais foi idealizado quando o Brasil se preparava para sediar a COP-30, em Belém. No momento da edição, o município de Juiz de Fora (MG) e a Zona da Mata mineira eram atingidos por fortes chuvas que deixaram mais de 50 mortos e 4 mil desabrigados. Enchentes e conferências internacionais mobilizam o noticiário, mas nem sempre a pauta ambiental, em toda a sua complexidade, tem visibilidade midiática. Num cenário de amplificação dos riscos climáticos, de medidas preventivas e responsivas ainda frágeis e de ameaças à integridade da informação, esta edição especial apresenta estudos sobre os impactos, obstáculos e possíveis caminhos de práticas comunicacionais frente à emergência climática para além da produção de notícias. Os dez artigos aqui reunidos, com metodologias e arcabouços teóricos diversos, propõem reflexões aprofundadas sobre processos comunicacionais em torno do colapso ecológico.
