Communicating climate impacts through adaptation
For a long time, 'adaptation' was a dirty word in the campaigning world: if adaptation is an option, why bother trying to reduce emissions? But whatever actions are taken to reduce emissions, significant climate impacts are now locked in, and it’s time people started taking the communication about adapting to these risks more seriously.
The practical tips and activities in this new guide were created for the UK Women’s Institute Climate Ambassadors, but are relevant for anyone wishing to communicate climate impacts and ways to adapt within their communities. The guide includes do's and don'ts to successfully communicate climate impacts, as well as short factsheets about flooding, heatwaves and drought, and activities that communities can engage in to adapt to these risks.
