(Compose a detailed peer review here, considering each of the key aspects listed above if it is relevant. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what feedback looks like.)

Going off your proposed changes to the lead section, I support everything that you have laid out. And, I wonder if it is better to make the connection to climate communication rather than media coverage of climate change in the first paragraph (of the article's current lead). I think when you redo the lead you should follow the organization fo the article more closely than the single paragraph of the current lead, but I would also caution having too lengthy of a lead. In your draft, you mentioned covering topics relevant to India, and if I understand that you're editing the full lead section, I would just be cognizant of the space you're allotting for each subsection and try to make them roughly the same to each other or reflective of their representation in the article.

Overall, I think the content you added is valuable and relevant, especially if that's the most recent information available. I will say that in the Asia/Pacific section I was a little confused about the sentence you added. Do those statistics just refer to India, if they refer to India and then China, I think you need to clarify who the 72% are in the final statistic. I also think that attaching the year to the “Climate Change in the Indian Mind” study would better convey the accuracy of the information. If you can find discussion on what these statistics mean in the context of India, regarding climate action, I think that would make these numbers more tangible and meaningful, but if that doesn't seem to be what others have done with the research it may not be a valuable or necessary addition. If you could also find information how these statistics break down along class lines or geographic regions, I think that would be a valuable and pertinent addition to make. In your last paragraph, I was wondering if those respondents were the same as in the previous study, so I think you should clarify that.

Your tone seemed to be pretty objective to me, so I don't think adjustments need to be made there.

Your sources seem to be of good quality and pretty current. Though I am wondering if there have been any studies conducted by research centers from within India, which may be something to look into and include.

Your additions are well organized and easy to read. I do think some clarifications could be made as to what studies you are referencing.

I look forward to seeing what images you plan to add.

Overall, I think you've got some great material and I think making clarifications and maybe making some incorporations of a wider, more inclusive, range of information would add to the quality of what you already have.
