Research focused specifically on examining media and climate justice is still scarce (Roosvall and Tegelberg, 2015) yet growing, and to date none explores the media representation of climate justice in relation to food security. Given the differential impacts of climate change on food security in the global North and South, I analyse the media discourses on climate induced food insecurity in tabloids and broadsheets in the UK and Mexico to evaluate how food security as an aspect of climate justice is discursively presented. With this project I will identify similarities and differences in the representation of aspects such as problem definition, causes and solutions, the actors portrayed, the prominence given to the topic, the specific national concerns and who has the power to influence discourses.
