But those global changes are already affecting people, even if they do not fully realise it, and effective communication of this issue is critical. We use long observations and well-understood physical principles to visually highlight how global emissions influence local flood risk in one river basin in the UK. </div> <div><a href="#" class="show-hide triangle" data-hide=".short_summary_117866" data-show=".short_summary_button_117866">Hide</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="j-widget__max ce_comment ce_comment_117866 mt-3" style="display: none"> <div class="widget dark-border"> <div class="legend journal-contentLinkColor">Executive editor</div> <div class="content"> This paper creates a visual physically plausible causal chain to communicate long-term changes in local climate risk, using flooding in a UK river basin as an example. This chain places local hazards, such as flooding, within the broader context of global climate change, including factors like global carbon dioxide emissions and temperature changes. It relies exclusively on observations, thereby avoiding the additional uncertainties associated with climate scenarios that might hinder understanding in certain situations. This causal chain idea has the potential to be a powerful communication tool for clearly communicating risks and the contributing factors, engaging with local communities, and addressing common misconceptions like the “Myth of Dry Feet” - a Dutch expression implying that extreme events such as floods only happen elsewhere, and won't happen "here" or "to me". While this chain is created for flood risk in the UK, it has the potential for broader application in various geoscience fields. </div> <div><a href="#" class="show-hide triangle" data-hide=".ce_comment_117866" data-show=".ce_comment_button_117866">Hide</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="grid-15 tablet-grid-15 text-right hide-on-mobile"> <a class="paperlist-avatar" target="_blank" href="https://gc.copernicus.org/articles/7/161/2024/gc-7-161-2024-avatar-web.png"> <img class="img-responsive" src="https://gc.copernicus.org/articles/7/161/2024/gc-7-161-2024-avatar-thumb80.png" data-web="https://gc.copernicus.org/articles/7/161/2024/gc-7-161-2024-avatar-web.png" data-width="442" data-caption="© Author(s).

We have performed a systematic literature review to analyze what is known about the efficacy of climate communication by scientists. While we have found more than 60 articles in the last 10 years about climate communication activities by scientists, only 7 of these included some form of evaluation of the impact of the activity. </div> <div><a href="#" class="show-hide triangle" data-hide=".short_summary_116062" data-show=".short_summary_button_116062">Hide</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="j-widget__max ce_comment ce_comment_116062 mt-3" style="display: none"> <div class="widget dark-border"> <div class="legend journal-contentLinkColor">Executive editor</div> <div class="content"> Engaging a broad public in climate sciences is crucial for educating and motivating action. In turn, assessing communication initiatives can contribute to improving these activities for all involved. Through a systematic literature review, the authors emphasise the scarcity of peer-reviewed publications evaluating the outcomes of scientists' science communication efforts. The paper underscores the need to transparently assess these activities, whether successful or not, in order to advance the field. Although the focus of this paper is on public engagement in climate science, the implications extend to various geoscience domains. </div> <div><a href="#" class="show-hide triangle" data-hide=".ce_comment_116062" data-show=".ce_comment_button_116062">Hide</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="grid-15 tablet-grid-15 text-right hide-on-mobile"> </div> </div> <div class="grid-container paperlist-object in-range paperList-final" data-diff="0"> <div class="grid-100 hide-on-desktop hide-on-tablet"> <a class="paperlist-avatar" target="_blank" href="https://gc.copernicus.org/articles/7/57/2024/gc-7-57-2024-avatar-web.png"> <img class="img-responsive" src="https://gc.copernicus.org/articles/7/57/2024/gc-7-57-2024-avatar-thumb80.png" data-caption="© Max-Neef 2005" data-web="https://gc.copernicus.org/articles/7/57/2024/gc-7-57-2024-avatar-web.png" data-width="600" data-height="291" width="80" height="80"> </a> </div> <div class="grid-85 tablet-grid-85"> <div class="published-date"> 01 Feb 2024</div> <a class="article-title" target="_parent" href="https://gc.copernicus.org/articles/7/57/2024/">GC Insights: Fostering transformative change for biodiversity restoration through transdisciplinary research</a> <div class="authors">Bikem Ekberzade, A.
