Communication Strategies for Adapting to the Health Impacts of the Climate Crisis

Abstract

In the context of the prevailing climate crisis, public awareness of climate change and its health impacts remains limited. This limited awareness has not translated into health adaptation behaviors. Consequently, current communication efforts for health adaptation, as promoted in domestic policies, fail to address people's needs. Therefore, this study aims to propose communication strategies that increase awareness of the health impacts of climate change and enhance health adaptation capacity by identifying the limitations and needs of communication efforts related to health adaptation to the climate crisis.
