You’ve now done enough research and background reading about climate change to have developed some of your own ideas about the challenges we all face as a global community.
One of those challenges is how to effectively communicate the science of climate change in such a way that it encourages action and is not misinterpreted or falls subject to dis/misinformation.
Imagine yourself a consultant to a cabinet minister who has been asked by MPs to present to parliament how the media should position itself post-COP27.
Please write a “policy paper”, backed by evidence – references, interviews, etc, for the minister to present to parliament.
The policy paper should answer the questions below.
• How has the media dealt with climate change issues? How has it adapted over the past 10 years?
• Is the media doing a good job? How do you propose measuring the effectiveness of the media in presenting climate change issues?
• What do you see as some challenges? What do you see as solutions?
• How would you address climate change issues?
• What should Egyptian media be doing to address climate change?
• What should influencers, social media stars, grassroots institutions online do?
