This study investigates how climate-related crises, specifically the Australian bushfire seasons of 2019–2020 and 2020–2021, have triggered digital activism via social media platforms like Twitter. ???
Using advanced topic modeling and Computationally Intensive Theory Construction (CITC), the authors reveal how online conversations evolve from crisis communication into digital activism, through three main themes:
1?? Highlighting the crisis
2?? Debating causes and responsibilities
3?? Mobilizing action against human-made climate change
? This research not only deepens our theoretical understanding of digital activism, but also helps practitioners guide online discourse during environmentally and socially sensitive events.
? Do you believe digital activism can drive real-world climate action—or does it risk staying just online? Share your thoughts!
