Researchers have focused on media coverage of climate change primarily because of the effects the levels and nature of coverage have on policymakers and the public. However, much of this research has concerned itself with Anglophone media in the Global North. Furthermore, a majority of studies relate to the broad topic of environment and climate change rather than particular climate impact events. This study presents an analysis of coverage of three environmental impacts: smog outbreaks, heatwaves, and floods. It focuses on the media of Pakistan, a climate-vulnerable country in the Global South. Two instances of each impact are examined: the serious smog outbreaks of 2017 and 2019, the extreme flooding of 2010 and 2020, and the deadly heatwaves of 2015 and 2018. Three levels of evidence are presented: a content analysis of these six events in the leading Pakistani media outlets (three English-language and three Urdu-language), a frame analysis of the coverage, and a thematic analysis of interviews with nine environmental journalists. This research contributes to the relatively sparse scholarly literature on media representation of the environment and climate change in the Global South and brings forth the perspective of non-English language media. It advances our understanding of various organisational, economic, political, and cultural influences which affect media reporting and framing of extreme environmental and climate change events in climate-vulnerable countries such as Pakistan. The findings show that environmental reporters face several barriers and challenges when reporting environmental events at the individual, newsroom, media organisation, and government levels. Additionally, the attribution of responsibility frame dominated coverage of these environmental impact events, with the health, disaster, human interest, and morality or ethics frames also strongly present. Despite Pakistan’s vulnerability to climate change, the media rarely establishes the link between anthropogenic climate change and repeated instances of extreme events.
