Explainer 289: Nordic Council of Ministers series, part seven – Communicating the climate emergency

With COP26 approaching, communicating the reality of climate change is clearly important but it’s a notoriously tricky message to get across. As recent protests in the UK and elsewhere have shown, it’s easy to alienate the public, which risks climate fatigue setting in. People shut down if the picture is too dystopian and yet climate-change deniers still need to be confronted.

In this episode of ‘The Foreign Desk Explainer’ in association with the Nordic Council of Ministers, we will hear from various actors in the climate debate, from the corporate sector, and government to grass-roots campaigners on how they get their message across.
