Abstract
The urgency for storytelling as an environmental communication and climate justice strategy is becoming clearer and louder as the climate crisis unfolds disastrously around the world. This qualitative study explored how eleven storytellers in Canada are responding to this need and how intersectional storytelling on climate change can shape environmental communication in Canada. The study was guided by ecofeminist and intersectional theory. Data was collected through semi-structured individual interviews and then subjected to thematic analysis. My goal was to fill a gap in the literature about how climate change storytelling can evolve in Canada and produce a set of recommendations on what kind of climate change storytelling is needed in Canada right now to catalyze a socially and ecologically just future.
