The newly released European State of the Climate 2024 annual report (ESOTC), co-published by the European Union’s Copernicus Earth observation program and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), confirms what public health experts have long warned about: the health costs of climate change in Europe are rising fast, and so is the human toll.
HEAL has produced a science to policy communications toolkit for fellow NGOs and anyone working on clean air advocacy.
In Advocating for clean air: how to communicate the science we cover the importance and potential impact of using recent scientific findings around air quality in our communications efforts.
With this toolkit we hope to provide civil society organisations with the resources to effectively communicate air quality and health science by covering :
– six common frames when crafting air quality advocacy messages
– examples of scientific findings to communicate
– discussion of target audiences and platforms
– dos and don’ts for twitter
… and so much more.
