Abstract

Climate change is an increasingly significant problem in Malaysia and has attracted the attention of Environmental Non-Governmental Organisations (ENGOs) to advocate climate justice. The activities performed by the ENGOs to tackle climate change issues indicate that their roles are becoming more critical than ever. However, limited academic documents record their activities in the context of climate change issues in Malaysia based on newspaper reports. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse the media coverage of the activities of ENGOs in addressing climate change issues in Malaysia. The study utilised the content-analysis method to analyse relevant articles that portray ENGO initiatives concerning climate actions published in two mainstream national newspapers. The findings from the analysis provide an overview of the roles played by ENGOs in addressing climate change issues and offer insights into the role of newspapers in public awareness about ENGOs’ activism in Malaysia.
