Neoliberal and capitalist economies, colonialisation and discrimination based on gender, class, ethnicity, ability, and religion, have enhanced inequalities and ecological degradation and increased the vulnerability of marginal communities to climate, biodiversity loss and pollution. Communicative and epistemic remoteness keep decision-makers separate from the people and places they impact adding to social and environmental disparities (Gaard, 2017, p18). These factors are particularly evident from studies in developing countries, yet intersectional inequities and vulnerabilities are not excluded from the 'richer West' where capitalism is strongest and depends on racism and sexism to develop and stands in the way of any genuine social transformation (Federici, 2018); ecological decline is rife, women's voices remain marginal. Here, the appropriation and homogenisation of narratives by media, governments, and NGOs gloss over widespread communicative injustice and the reality of the absence of voices from the marginalised in different aspects of political and economic life (Kothari, 2023). This study looks at how homogenisation and remoteness might be challenged, by highlighting the voices of women environmental activists in community radios (CR). It explores ways in which they represent nuanced and diverse views using hyperlocal media and considers their potential for re-storying narratives within a framework of communicative injustice that does not favour their participation, and how they navigate it. A second framing of intersectional feminism is used for a critical exploration of their context informed by questions of race, ethnicity and class and the investigation of diversity.The research will collate and map information on specialised environmental shows in selected European countries and conduct a participative enquiry with an intersectional group to explore identities and environmental discourses both locally and in relation to the wider context. Discourse and narrative analysis bring them together to draw conclusions and recommendations.

新自由主义和资本主义经济、基于性别、阶级、种族、能力和宗教的殖民化和歧视加剧了不平等和生态退化，增加了边缘社区对气候、生物多样性丧失和污染的脆弱性。沟通和认知的距离性使决策者与他们所影响的人和地方分离，从而增加了社会和环境的差异（Gaard, 2017, p18）。这些因素在发展中国家的研究中尤为明显，但在资本主义最强大、依靠种族主义和性别歧视发展并阻碍任何真正的社会转型的“富裕西方”中，交叉性不平等和脆弱性并没有被排除在外（Federici, 2018）；生态衰退很普遍，女性的声音仍然被边缘化。在这里，媒体、政府和非政府组织对叙事的挪用和同质化掩盖了广泛的沟通不公正，以及在政治和经济生活的不同方面缺乏边缘化声音的现实（Kothari, 2023）。本研究通过强调社区广播（CR）中女性环保活动人士的声音，着眼于如何挑战同质化和偏远性。它探讨了他们使用超本地媒体表达微妙和不同观点的方式，并考虑了他们在不利于他们参与的交流不公正框架内重新讲述叙事的潜力，以及他们如何驾驭它。交叉性女权主义的第二个框架是通过种族、民族和阶级问题以及对多样性的调查，对她们的背景进行批判性探索。这项研究将在选定的欧洲国家整理和绘制有关专业环境展览的信息，并与一个交叉小组进行参与性调查，以探索当地和更广泛背景下的身份和环境话语。话语和叙事分析将他们聚集在一起，得出结论和建议。
