Climate change communication today

A study funded by the LRF Institute for the Public Understanding of Risk (IPUR) found that climate change communicators work to relate climate change impacts to the experiences of their audience with extreme events, the way they now live, and give specific examples of changes that might happen and actions that could be taken.

The study, led by Dr Joost Buurman from the Institute of Water Policy at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, involved speaking to 50 climate change communicators from Thailand and Singapore. Climate change communicators are people who publicly communicate about climate change and who talk about risks as they realise their views, explanations and advice have influence about how the public perceive and understand climate change risks.
