ABSTRACT This study introduces the Climate and Environmental Attention Index, a composite indicator that tracks media attention to climate and environmental issues. Based on the Semantic Brand Score, the proposed index extracts significant signals from unstructured text, going beyond traditional measures of word frequency and sentiment. By aggregating semantic scores for keywords related to the green transition, climate impacts, and environmental opportunities, we develop a set of indices suitable to help assess the dynamic relationship between climate‐related media attention and economic and financial conditions, providing a useful input for policy analysis.
