Climate change and public perception. Citizens’ proposals for better communication and involvement

Abstract

This paper explains how a participative approach was used to collect first-hand citizens’ suggestions on how to improve science communication regarding Climate Change. A public consultation involving citizens from 5 different European countries revealed various perspectives concerning their communication preferences on scientific topics. Five main themes emerged following citizens’ proposals for better communication and involvement: producer of information, medium, message strategies, audiences and areas of action and engagement.
