Key insights
- Dr Krakovska employs specific communication strategies to make climate science accessible, including explaining the distinction between climate and weather and using local examples of impacts on air quality, water resources, biodiversity, and weather. She also uses a health analogy, comparing the IPCC's role in the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C to a doctor providing advice that humanity, as the patient, must decide whether to follow.
