pubs.rights-statement	Beyond the Coal Rush is a 3 x 54’00 radio documentary series which explores the global “coal conundrum”: how to reduce coal consumption and its contribution to climate change while enabling access to energy for the global poor. Research Background The research is in the field of 1903 Journalism Studies, focusing on environmental journalism. According to Berglez (2008), global journalism highlights how environmental politics in different parts of the world “share commonalities, affect each other, or are interlocked”. Beck (2010) argues that media representation of global risks can “make the invisible visible” for a global public. Capstick and Pidgeon (2014) show that presenting audiences with concrete strategies for climate action increases support for such action. This project asks how journalism can promote the development of a global movement for climate action. Research Contribution Using the techniques of radio documentary, this project demonstrates that it is possible to scale up Capstick and Pidgeon’s insights to a global level. Through case studies of energy transitions in Germany, China and India, it offers concrete solutions to the “coal conundrum” that audiences can engage with. It documents community opposition to coal mining in these countries, and how these local struggles connect with global climate policy and politics. By “making audible” global contestation of coal and climate change, it invites listeners to participate in the emerging global movement for climate action. Research Significance Beyond the Coal Rush was commissioned and broadcast on ABC Radio National’s Science Show, one of its most prestigious and highly-rating programs/podcasts.	en_US
