Welcome to the ParlAmericas Podcast.
In this episode, we explore the intersection of climate action and public policy, with a focus on the importance of tailored communication strategies to engage diverse constituencies, as well as address public skepticism and declining trust, with a view to strengthening sustained support for climate action.
You will hear from Professor Barbara Leckie, Academic Director of Re.Climate: Centre for Climate Communication and Engagement, who outlines five common challenges in climate communication and presents practical strategies for parliamentarians to navigate them and foster meaningful connections. She emphasizes the importance of using storytelling, engaging in focused and constructive conversations, amplifying trusted voices, avoiding overused imagery, and helping people make sense of complex issues by relating them to their everyday lives.
This episode was recorded during the virtual meeting titled Communicating with Constituents about Climate: Dispelling Myths and Taking Action, part of the COP30 series, held on 12 de diciembre de 2025. Please find the meeting content available at the following link.
