Mongabay and Greeners Media News Framing of the Role of Indigenous Peoples in Addressing Climate Change in Indonesia

Abstract

Climate change has a significant impact on various sectors of life, such as health, social, and economic.
Almost no country is unaffected by climate change. If not handled properly and quickly, climate change
can cause long-term changes in the climate system which then have a broad impact on the survival of
humanity. Handling climate change is 1 of 17 goals of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
declared at the UN General Assembly in 2015. In addition, the media as a means of mass communication
has a major role in conveying environmental issues. This study aims to determine the framing of
environmental issues by the Mongabay and Greeners media related to the role of indigenous peoples in
overcoming climate change. This study uses Robert N. Entman's framing analysis. The research approach
used is a qualitative approach with a constructivism paradigm. The results of the study show that both
Mongabay and Greeners position indigenous peoples as victims of government development projects and
highlighting the strength of indigenous peoples in overcoming environmental impacts if their rights are
fulfilled
