Abstract
The study investigated global news media on handling the reporting of international
Multilateral Negotiations during the Paris Agreement on Climate change (PACC) of 2015.
Specific objective was to examine the contribution of the UN broadcasting in promoting fair
coverage of multilateral negotiations leading to PACC (2015). Reporting the world news
media that favourably sheds light on climate change through multilateral negotiations led to
PACC 2015. Liberal Institutionalism theory and survey research design guided the study.
Interviews and questionnaires were used for data collection and analysis done quantitatively
and qualitatively. The findings were of great importance to the government, NGOs, IGOs,
academics and additional stakeholders towards addressing Multilateral Negotiations. This
leverage their ability to impact climate change based international negotiations and overcome
challenges faced in negotiations. The ability of the Global Media to cover climate change
matters is handicapped by the support it offers to hegemony, contributing to a skewed Media
coverage of PACC 2015 in favour of the developed countries.
