Overcoming Communication Gaps and Barriers Related to Climate Change
Why is communication critical?
When it comes to climate change, our research has shown that there is a critical communication gap between individuals, their communities, and trusted authorities - government officials, scientists and experts.
As individuals, we often don't know how to avoid, mitigate, adapt to, or recover from the growing effects of climate change in our homes and neighbourhoods.
Even if we do act, trusted authorities don't have a way to record our actions and ensure that they are effective. We need some way to overcome this communication gap and help citizens before, during, and after climate change disasters.
