This open access volume examines the functions, reach and effectiveness of music and sound in climate-themed films, TV, commercials, and video games.

The humanities, and sub-disciplines within them, have clear roles and responsibilities in the climate crisis, and none more so than the audiovisual arts and media. It is through these receptors that most people learn truths and post-truths, receive news and 'fake news', are informed of scientific data, hear opinions from across the spectrum, and find inspiration for action.

Through close analysis of music and sound in a range of works, Soundtracks of Climate Change covers a variety of media, ethnicities, genders, languages, genres, mainstream and experimental approaches, fiction and documentary, scientific and aesthetic discourses.

The authors discuss music and sound in film, TV, and games from a global perspective, covering East Asia, Africa, the Nordic region, and Atlantic anglophone cultures. As we confront the climate crisis, this collection of articles by leading thinkers across film, music, and sound studies asks how audiovisual works convey the gravity and complexity of the problem.
