Care-full Climate Communication

The document outlines guidance for communicating the relationship between care and climate crises, proposing four specific framing examples: care for nature, care for humans, climate justice, and the role of care in improving the economy and society. It emphasizes the necessity of addressing systemic oppression, colonial legacies, and gender stereotypes to ensure that care-work is not romanticized or oversimplified while pursuing equitable low-carbon lifestyles.

• The guide proposes four specific framing approaches to communicate the link between care and climate change: care for nature, care for humans, climate justice, and the idea that a world in crisis can be improved economically and socially through care.
• Effective communication and the transition to caring societies require addressing systemic risks and opportunities, specifically the need to reflect on colonial history, balance the urgency of the climate crisis with care, and practice solidarity.
• Communicators must avoid oversimplifying or romanticizing care-work, as doing so can reinforce gender stereotypes and ignore systemic oppression and power dynamics.
