“…Although the volume of mentions in retweets is high, it is the indicator of the volume of replies that determines the level of conversation that takes place among users. It is perceived, as in other research, that Twitter is configured more as a network for the dissemination of messages, where acceptance is received through retweets or likes or acceptance or rejection through mentions in retweets than for debate [45][46][47]57].…”

Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are critical pieces of climate change communication. #FridaysForFuture (FFF) is one of the movements with the most coverage. This paper analyzes the network structure generated in Twitter by the interactions created by its users about the 23 September 2022 demonstrations, locates the most relevant users in the conversation based on multiple measures of intermediation and centrality of Social Network Analysis (SNA), identifies the most important topics of conversation regarding the #FridaysForFuture movement, and checks if the use of audio-visual content or links associated with the messages have a direct influence on the engagement. The NodeXL pro program was used for data collection and the different structures were represented using the Social Network Analysis method (SNA). Thanks to this methodology, the most relevant centrality measures were calculated: eigenvector centrality, betweenness centrality as relative measures, and the levels of indegree and outdegree as absolute measures. The network generated by the hashtag #FridaysforFuture consisted of a total of 12,136 users, who interacted on a total of 37,007 occasions. The type of action on the Twitter social network was distributed in five categories: 16,420 retweets, 14,866 mentions in retweets, 3151 mentions, 1584 tweets, and 986 replies. It is concluded that the number of communities is large and geographically distributed around the world, and the most successful accounts are so because of their relevance to those communities; the action of bots is tangible and is not demonized by the platform; some users can achieve virality without being influencers; the three languages that stood out are English, French, and German; and climate activism generates more engagement from users than the usual Twitter engagement average.

“…Rivas de Roca (2021) observó que el contenido diseñado por el movimiento Fridays For Future convirtió Twitter en un espacio de acción política, que se conectaba de manera presencial. En esa línea, Carrasco Polaino et al, (2022) exponen que durante la COP26 Twitter se definió como un espacio para la movilización y un canal para el activismo, donde los protagonistas son principalmente activistas y predominan las temáticas negativas con críticas a la falta de decisión y gestión efectiva. En esa misma línea, la investigación de Dahal et al, (2019) observó que la discusión general sobre el cambio climático es negativa, especialmente cuando los usuarios reaccionan a eventos políticos.…”

La investigación analiza la red de Twitter conformada por los usuarios y sus interacciones durante la Conferencia de las Partes (COP) COP15 celebrada en Montreal del 7 al 19 de diciembre de 2022. El objetivo principal es medir las características de la red e identificar los actores clave en la conversación y los temas principales abordados. También se buscó reconocer si había alguna relación entre el formato de los mensajes y el nivel de engagement. Para llevar a cabo el análisis, se empleó una metodología que combinó técnicas de análisis de redes sociales de análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo. Los resultados sugieren que la comunicación a través de Twitter fue un factor clave en el éxito de la movilización del movimiento ambientalista durante la COP15 y en la creación de conciencia sobre la necesidad de tomar medidas concretas para abordar el cambio climático. Asimismo, el compromiso más alto lo generaron los mensajes mayoritariamente críticos y urgentes, enfocados en la necesidad de tomar medidas concretas para abordar la crisis de biodiversidad y cambio climático. Con ello se refleja una separación entre el activismo reflejado en la red y el liderazgo científico y político presente en la Cumbre.

“…Twitter was chosen among other social media platforms (e.g., Facebook , YouTube , etc.) to collect Spanish politicians’ online discourse about climate change, because it has become an indispensable political tool and the preferred medium for politicians to engage with the public (Carrasco-Polaino et al, 2018 ; Redek & Godnov, 2018 ).…”

This piece of research explores language use in a sample of unprecedentedly studied discourse which is that of climate change communication by influential Spanish politicians via Twitter. For that purpose, we created a specialized corpus composed of tweets tackling climate change that were posted by influential Spanish politicians during the past decade. Our aim was to reveal prominent linguistic patterns that are susceptible of conveying a specific worldview (i.e.: the wording of reality) of climate change to Twitter users. Our analysis started with keywords analysis in order to gather quantitative data about the lexical choices deployed in our corpus, then by means of qualitative analysis based on semantic classification of keywords and the examination of their concordances we were able to point out distinctive features of our corpus’ discourse. Our results have revealed the prevalence of specific linguistic patterns, metaphors and frames that contribute to create a narrative of climate change as a villain and the human race, specifically political leaders, as the saviour.
