Abstract(s)
Over the last decades, environmental problems have become a matter of global concern. The fact that we were so careless about ecology led us to the breaking point we are now. From the early sixties with Silent Spring to the early seventies with the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment ,or the magistral report The Limits to Growth. till our contemporaneity the discourse about environmental aspects have not only transformed itself from an alert about the future to a truely crisis communication about the present but it has also changed its scope from the level of the experts to the common person. As Wolton (2019) has put it, the concept of envrironmental sciences as a major concept, expression of a need to deal with a major chalenge to humanity, took more than 50 years to happen. In this presentation the role of communication in the public interest all along these fifty years will be analysed. What were, and what are now, the main ideas and concepts? How have the pulic communication, understood as the communication of public institutions, evolved?
