A Call to Action: Seven recommendations to boost public engagement and decision-making on climate change

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Despite the Paris Agreement’s ambitious targets, global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and implement climate adaptation measures are insufficient. This paper argues that effective public engagement and informed decision-making are critical to closing the gap between current practices and necessary actions. We identify key communication challenges that impede climate action and propose seven recommendations to strengthen public understanding and empower decision-makers. Through a multi-level study that examines the perspectives of science communicators, policymakers, and IPCC contributors, we highlight strategies for effective communication, the need for optimism in messaging, and the importance of education and grassroots actions. We advocate for an adaptation-first approach to catalyze mitigation efforts and promote a coordinated communication strategy to counter misinformation and drive climate action.
