Communicating the Climate Crisis Popular Published on 03 February 2020 Modified on 07 April 2020 In Climate Change 558 downloads Download (png, 202 KB) Communicating the Climate Crisis.png https://climate-xchange.org/communicating-the-climate-crisis/ At first glance, climate change communication is about educating and informing people about this massive issue, in order to mobilize and solve the climate crisis. On a deeper level however, climate change communication is shaped by our different experiences, mental and cultural models, and underlying values and world views. The way we talk about climate change, either as advocates, scientists, or regular citizens, affects the way people understand and think about both the problem and the solutions alike. A lot of communication about climate change gets it right about the risk and possible negative scenarios, but wrong about how we try to accomplish the critical goal of not just raising public concern, but moving people to action.
