“…On the other hand, several communication channels can function efficiently only when they provide coherent information; otherwise, a kind of information noise may appear (this is harmful to reputation of corporations, as well as to clarity of behavior norms to their workers). The highly-complex response of the audience to the climate-related information (e.g., [39]) indicates on potential danger of the noted noise. Another important issue is linked to the industry-scale climate-friendly actions.…”

The aviation industry contributes substantially to the global climate change, and, thus, airline companies need development of climate-friendly ethics. The content of the codes of conduct of 16 airline companies boasting either the greatest number of daily departures or the largest air fleet (or both) are analyzed. It is established that 25% of these companies prescribe climate-friendly behavior often focusing on emissions. Moreover, many other companies prescribe pro-environmental behavior. The situation seems to be promising, although improvements of the existing corporate ethical prescriptions are necessary. Despite its tentative character and certain limitations, this study permits putting the climate-friendly ethics of airlines on the international agenda. Practically, it is important to add climate-related notions to those codes of conduct where these do not exist and to use successful examples as ethical templates for the entire aviation industry.

“…Other findings included that publics wished scientists to be concerned for humanity and the environment in their communication (17) and advocate for climate change, working closely with policymakers (9). Trust in scientists was found to regulate the acceptance of messages about climate change (29), to mediate the effect of climate-related information on publics (35), to influence the public's climate change risk perception (54), and to promote climate-friendly behaviours (8,22). The media outlet for the communication of scientific messages and the identity of the communicator were also found to impact public trust (5,28,41,46,51,57).…”

Public trust and mistrust of climate science: A meta-narrative review

This systematic meta-narrative literature review aims to explore the narratives of trust evident in literature on public (mis)trust relating to climate science published up until May 2021, and to present the main findings from these papers. We identified six narratives of trust: attitudinal trust, cognitive trust, affective trust, contingencies of trust, contextual trust and communicated trust. The papers’ main findings spanned theoretical conclusions on the importance of positionality to trust and morality to trustworthiness, to qualitative findings that the scientific community was mainly trusted, to quantitative findings that explored how trust functioned as an independent, dependent or mediating variable. This literature review sheds important light on the interrelationship between climate science and publics, highlights areas for further research, and in its characterisation of trust narratives provides a language for conceptualising trust that can further interdisciplinary engagement.

“…In Asia, the most important indicator of risk perception of climate change impacts is local temperature change [25,26], whereas globally, climate change awareness is determined by educational attainment [25]. Furthermore, personal experiences of other extreme weather events and impacts of climate change also influence climate change risk perceptions [27][28][29], as well as socio-demographic characteristics which include gender, income [25,26], age [30], and geographical location [31,32]; and occupation [26]. However, studies on climate change awareness and risk perceptions of climate change impacts on the coastal marine ecosystem, particularly in Palawan, are less explored.…”

Understanding the coastal communities’ awareness and risk perceptions of climate change impact is essential in developing effective risk communication tools and in developing mitigation strategies to reduce the vulnerability of coastal communities. In this study, we examined the coastal community’s climate change awareness and risk perceptions of climate change impact on the coastal marine ecosystem, sea level rise impact on the mangrove ecosystem, and as a factor affecting coral reefs and seagrass beds. The data were gathered by conducting face-to-face surveys with 291 respondents from the coastal areas of Taytay, Aborlan, and Puerto Princesa in Palawan, Philippines. Results showed that most participants (82%) perceived that climate change is happening and a great majority (75%) perceived it as a risk to the coastal marine ecosystem. Sea level rise was perceived by most participants (60%) to cause coastal erosion and affect the mangrove ecosystem, but they also perceived that coastal erosion can be prevented by mangroves. On coral reefs and seagrass ecosystems, anthropogenic pressures and climate change were perceived to have a high impact, while marine livelihoods had a low impact. In addition, we found that climate change risk perceptions were influenced by direct experiences of extreme weather events (i.e., temperature rise and excessive rainfall), and climate-related livelihood damages (i.e., declining income). Climate change risk perceptions were also found to vary with household income, education, age group, and geographical location. The results suggest that addressing poverty, and effectively communicating climate change risks can improve climate change awareness and risk perceptions.
