Focus areas

Mistra Environmental Communication addresses five major fields of environmental communication practice. Additionally, cross-cutting strands of work integrate insights across focus areas.

Dialogues in governance for sustainability

Dialogue-based governance is a promising but challenging way to involve actors with diverse perspectives. We develop knowledge about the role of power and conflict in dialogue processes and ways to constructively deal with these.

Consumption

"Traditional" individual- and lifestyle-focused communication in consumption contexts is a point of departure for expanding on such models. Environmental psychology and theories on social interaction, identity formation and practices are combined in new research.
