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、殖民化以及基于性别、阶级、种族、能力和宗教的歧视加剧了不平等和生态退化，并增加了边缘社区对气候、生物多样性丧失和污染的脆弱性。沟通和认知上的远程性使决策者与他们所影响的人和地方分离，从而加剧了社会和环境差异（Gaard，2017，第 18 页）。这些因素在发展中国家的研究中尤为明显，但“较富裕的西方”并没有排除交叉不平等和脆弱性，那里资本主义最强大，依赖种族主义和性别歧视来发展，并阻碍任何真正的社会转型（Federici， 2018）；生态衰退盛行，妇女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普遍存在的沟通不公正以及政治和经济生活不同方面边缘化群体缺乏声音的现实（Kothari，2023）。这项研究通过强调社区广播 (CR) 中女性环保活动家的声音，探讨同质化和偏远性可能受到的挑战。它探讨了他们使用超本地化媒体表达细致入微和多样化观点的方式，并考虑了他们在不利于他们参与的沟通不公正框架内重新讲述叙事的潜力，以及他们如何驾驭它。交叉女权主义的第二个框架用于通过种族、族裔和阶级问题以及多样性调查对其背景进行批判性探索。该研究将整理和绘制选定欧洲国家专门环境表演的信息，并进行参与性调查与一个跨部门小组一起探索当地和更广泛背景下的身份和环境话语。话语和叙述分析将他们聚集在一起得出结论和建议。
