“…Los museos de ciencias y sus exposiciones se enfrentan al desafío de garantizar que sus visitantes mayores puedan acercarse a la ciencia al tiempo que obtienen información que les permita conocer y saber cómo abordar, entre otras cosas, las amenazas ambientales presentes y futuras [Corner & Clarke, 2014].…”

La población mundial envejece coincidentemente con una situación ambiental crítica debida al cambio climático, que amenaza a poblaciones vulnerables, entre ellas a muchos adultos mayores. Se presenta un ejercicio de divulgación de la ciencia sobre cambio climático que parte de detectar los conocimientos y actitudes de esta población sobre el tema, a partir del cual se propone un taller para promover el autocuidado frente a riesgos ambientales. El taller mostró la posibilidad de reducir el desconocimiento sobre el tema y promover el autocuidado y la responsabilidad social con lo que se alimentará un guión museográfico adaptable a diferentes contextos y necesidades.

“…Communications about heat risks do well to appeal to dynamic socio‐psychological factors, to help facilitate behavior (Corner & Clarke, 2017; Klöckner, 2015; McLoughlin, 2021). However, there is currently little existing literature which has directly tested different message framings and narratives that target different antecedents of adaptive heat risk behaviors and perceptions.…”

Heat risks, such as those associated with heatwaves, are increasing in frequency, severity, and duration due to climate change. The ways in which people around the globe perceive and respond to heat risks are now of great importance to reduce a range of negative health outcomes. A growing body of literature aims to assess the factors that influence people's behaviors in relation to heat risks. This research can inform better interventions, such as improved communications approaches, that attempt to facilitate adaptive behavioral responses to such risks. This review focuses on how insights from behavioral and attitudinal studies about heat risk responses can inform communication approaches. These insights are organized into three key themes: (1) Behaviors-What types of actions can be taken by people, and what evidence is there for adaptive behavior? (2) Antecedents-Which individual and contextual factors can influence people's behaviors? (3) Communications-How can existing insights be better integrated into interventions? Aspects of communication, including the role of message characteristics, messenger, and imagery, are discussed, with examples of messages and narratives that target influential antecedents of adaptive responses to heat risks. The paper makes three important contributions. First, it organizes literature on the antecedents and behavioral responses to heat risk; second, it provides a typology of the range of heat risk behaviors; and, third, it discusses how antecedents can be integrated into communication interventions. The review concludes with a proposed agenda for research, highlighting the need for substantial testing and evaluation of heat risk communication, applying insights from the literature.

“…There are far fewer depictions of ‘ordinary’ people (Duan et al, 2017; Rebich‐Hespanha et al, 2014), and, where they do feature, they often compose the background or are rendered climate change victims in distant geographic places (Herrmann, 2017). The lack of ordinary human stories in climate change communication is potentially problematic for engaging wider publics (Corner et al, 2015). Also, when considering the ethics and politics of climate change communication, an absence of human stories erases the voices and experiences of those on the ‘frontlines’ of climate change.…”

Drawing on my experience with creative research translation, in this work I discuss how comics provide several possibilities to communicate climate change using geographical analysis and anti‐essentialist representations. Comics can be deployed as a multi‐modal method that encourages researchers to use thick description to communicate embodied, intangible, and hidden experiences of life with climate change that are difficult to capture in other ways. Comics are also a powerful way for authors to visualise how life with climate change is multi‐temporal and to capture diverse images of still‐possible and alternative climate futures that move beyond apocalyptic imaginaries to inform debates about the geographies of hope as they relate to climate change. Finally, comics can enhance the participatory nature of research and facilitate a move to more ‘desire‐based’ research frameworks that emphasise character‐driven and anti‐essentialist narratives. The work reported here should be of broad interest among geographers engaging in geohumanities and climate change researchers experimenting with creative methods to narrativise and communicate human experiences of climate change. My intentions are to move beyond disciplinary boundaries; speak to scholars working in the interdisciplinary fields of climate change, comics studies, climate change communication, and visual studies; and invite more engagement with this mode of creative research translation.
