“…However, our perception is that the subject is still given little space on the agenda of Portugal's two largest newspapers. For future studies, we believe that a critical discourse analysis could clarify the underlying meaning, which cannot be perceived simply by counting (Ganapathy, 2022), or by identifying macro-themes, but will allow us to go deeper, or at least offer clues, to understanding the different greenwashing practices based on their motivation, in the identification of the four typologies that classify organisations ("browns", "vocal browns", "vocal greens" and "silent greens"), or from the perspective of the resources used, which can be limited to distancing themselves from the truth, or the deliberate use of techniques to deceive or confuse (de Jong et al, 2018).…”

As Nações Unidas lançaram a campanha “Race to Zero”, à qual empresas privadas aderiram voluntariamente na busca pela redução das emissões de carbono até 2030. Os resultados desta ação estão presentes no Monitor de Responsabilidade Climática Corporativa, desenvolvido pelo NewClimate Institute e pelo Carbon Market Watch. Ora, o presente estudo visa perceber como é que os maiores jornais portugueses — Expresso e Público — noticiaram os resultados da campanha “Race to Zero” e qual o foco dos média sobre greenwashing nos períodos anterior e posterior à divulgação do Monitor de Responsabilidade Climática Corporativa, em 2022 e 2023. Assim, procuram-se respostas para as perguntas: como é que os dois maiores jornais online de Portugal abordam o greenwashing? E qual a visibilidade dada ao relatório dos resultados da campanha “Race to Zero”? Metodologicamente, o estudo segue duas abordagens: em primeiro lugar, uma revisão de literatura não sistemática sobre o estado da arte do conceito de “greenwashing”; e, em segundo lugar, uma pesquisa empírica de análise de conteúdo qualitativa/quantitativa realizada a partir das publicações online dos dois maiores jornais de Portugal (Expresso e Público) no período de divulgação do Monitor de Responsabilidade Climática Corporativa.

Over the past three decades, there has been a significant increase in political and media attention towards climate change. The media has been instrumental in shaping, reproducing, and influencing the political and cultural comprehension of this phenomenon. While previous research has concentrated primarily on the textual content of news articles, this study focuses on the use of images in climate communication. It is based on the belief that images can combine facts and emotions, engaging audiences and adding narrative complexity to verbal claims. With focus on climate imagery, a content analysis was conducted on 1010 images used by a Portuguese newspaper (Público) between January 2000 and May 2022 to visually cover climate change. The purpose of the analysis was to identify the visual frames used by the newspaper to frame the issue. The primary findings indicate that 35.5% of the images analyzed employ a frame that dramatizes the effects of climate change, evoking anxiety and vulnerability. However, there is evidence of a growing body of scientific literature that challenges and refutes the sensationalist and demoralizing narrative, resulting in the development of novel methods of communicating the phenomenon. Compared to the preceding period (2000–2005), the proportion of visual frames depicting potential solutions and adaptation strategies has increased substantially over the past three years (2020–2022) by 16.3%.
