Communicating Climate Change through ICT-Based Visualization: Towards an Analytical Framework

The difficulties in communicating climate change science to the general public are often highlighted as one of the hurdles for support of enhanced climate action. The advances of interactive visualization using information and communication technology (ICT) are claimed to be a game-changer in our ability to communicate complex issues. However, new analytical frameworks are warranted to analyse ...

Communicating climate change: conduits, content, and consensus

Climate change has been the subject of increasing efforts by scientists to understand its causes and implications; it has been of growing interest to policymakers, international bodies, and a variety of nongovernment organizations; and it has attracted varied amounts of attention from traditional and, increasingly, onlinemedia. These developments have been aligned with shifts in the nature of c...

ICT4Adaptation: ICT for Climate Change Adaptation

The project involved a review of relevant literatures and current practices, as well as informal interviews and conversations, and has led to the development of a prototype framework for the characterisation of ICT projects (ICT4Adaptation) and the proactive generation of ideas for potential ICT4Adapation initiatives. This report provides an introduction to the potential roles of ICT in climate...

Towards a Formal Framework of Vulnerability to Climate Change

There is confusion regarding the notion of “vulnerability” in the climate change scientific community. Recent research has identified a need for formalisation, which would support accurate communication and the elimination of misunderstandings that result from ambiguous interpretations. Moreover, a formal framework of vulnerability is a prerequisite for computational approaches to its assessmen...
