Environmental educators face a formidable challenge when they
approach climate change due to the complexity of the science and of
the political and cultural contexts in which people live. There is
a clear consensus among climate scientists that climate change is
already occurring as a result of human activities, but high levels
of climate change awareness and growing levels of concern have not
translated into meaningful action. Communicating Climate Change
provides environmental educators with an understanding of how their
audiences engage with climate change information as well as with
concrete, empirically tested communication tools they can use to
enhance their climate change program.
