<b>Statement – Climate change is already killing us, but strong
action now can prevent more deaths</b><br>
Statement by WHO Regional Director for Europe Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge<br>
7 November 2022<br>
- -<br>
Based on country data submitted so far, it is estimated that at
least 15 000 people died specifically due to the heat in 2022. Among
those, nearly 4000 deaths in Spain, more than 1000 in Portugal, more
than 3200 in the United Kingdom, and around 4500 deaths in Germany
were reported by health authorities during the 3 months of summer. <br>
<br>
This estimate is expected to increase as more countries report on
excess deaths due to heat. For example, France's National Institute
of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) reported that more than
11 000 more people died between 1 June and 22 August 2022 compared
with the same period in 2019 – the last year before the COVID-19
pandemic. INSEE suggested that these figures were “likely to be
explained by the heatwave that occurred in mid-July, after an
initial heatwave episode as early as mid-June”. <br>
<br>
Temperatures in Europe have warmed significantly over the 1961–2021
period, at an average rate of about 0.5 °C per decade. This is the
fastest-warming region, according to a report launched this week by
the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Extreme temperatures
accounted for more than 148 000 lives lost in the European Region in
the previous 50 years. In just 1 year since, we lost at least
another 15 000 lives. In 2021, high-impact weather and climate
events led to hundreds of fatalities and directly affected over half
a million people. About 84% of these events were floods or storms. <br>
<br>
These impacts on health that people in our Region are experiencing
now with a 1.1 °C rise in global average temperature give just a
glimpse of what we can expect if the temperature rises 2° C and
above compared to preindustrial levels. This should sound the alarm
for our future under a changing climate. <br>

<b>Journalist David Wallace-Wells on climate change and climate hope</b><br>
NPR<br>
November 8, 2022<br>
When the U.N. Secretary General says this to the world —<br>
<br>
“We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the
accelerator.”<br>
<br>
… It’s hard not to despair.<br>
<br>
But journalist David Wallace-Wells says there’s reason for hope.
He’s been writing about climate for years. And he says, there’s
progress.<br>
<br>
“Five years ago, certainly ten years ago, most climate scientists
thought that we were heading for four or five degrees of warming,”
Wallace-Wells says.<br>
<br>
“Now, most of them would say we’re heading for about two or three
degrees. So roughly half what we thought we were heading for.”<br>
<br>
That doesn’t mean that carbon reduction efforts should stop. But
Wallace-Wells says focusing too much on climate doom is stopping us
from making critical, permanent changes.<br>
<br>
“We have to start thinking about what it means to navigate a world
that is post normal, post safe, and yet sub-apocalyptic,”
Wallace-Wells says.<br>

<b>The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming </b><br>
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The Uninhabitable Earth hits you
like a comet, with an overflow of insanely lyrical prose about our
pending Armageddon.”—Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon<br>
<br>
With a new afterword<br>
<br>
It is worse, much worse, than you think. If your anxiety about
global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are
barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible—food
shortages, refugee emergencies, climate wars and economic
devastation.<br>
<br>
An “epoch-defining book” (The Guardian) and “this generation’s
Silent Spring” (The Washington Post), The Uninhabitable Earth is
both a travelogue of the near future and a meditation on how that
future will look to those living through it—the ways that warming
promises to transform global politics, the meaning of technology and
nature in the modern world, the sustainability of capitalism and the
trajectory of human progress.<br>
<br>
The Uninhabitable Earth is also an impassioned call to action. For
just as the world was brought to the brink of catastrophe within the
span of a lifetime, the responsibility to avoid it now belongs to a
single generation—today’s.<br>

<p><i>[ 7 Basic principles for climate communications using
visuals - Beckwith video review 27 min ]</i><br>
<b>Powerful Climate Change Communication Using Visuals: What Works
and What Doesn’t Work</b><br>
Paul Beckwith<br>
Nov 1, 2022<br>
There has been a plethora of research on what works and what
doesn’t work in the communication of climate change both verbally
and written.<br>
<br>
A huge gap exists in research on the effectiveness of climate
visuals. Photographs (visuals) of climate change, emergencies,
extreme weather, droughts, floods, wildfires, etc. are actually
very powerful for getting messages across.<br>
<br>
Basically, what works powerfully for effective climate
communication visuals are the following 7 core principles:<br>
<br>
1) Show “real people” and not staged photo-ops - staged
photographs are seen as gimmicky or manipulative<br>
<br>
2) Tell new stories - <br>
Less familiar (and more thought-provoking) images can help tell a
new story about climate; Familiar, ‘classic’ images can prompt
cynicism and fatigue<br>
<br>
3) Show climate causes at scale -<br>
If communicating the links between ‘problematic’ behaviours and
climate change, it is best to show these behaviours at scale –
e.g. a congested highway, rather than a single driver<br>
<br>
4) Climate impacts are emotionally powerful - <br>
People are moved more by climate impacts – e.g. floods, and the
destruction wrought by extreme weather – than by ‘causes’ or
‘solutions’<br>
<br>
5) Understand your audience - <br>
Images of ‘distant’ climate impacts produced much flatter
emotional responses among those on the political right; images
depicting ‘solutions’ to climate change generated mostly positive
emotions – for those on the political right, as well as those on
the left<br>
<br>
6) Show local (but serious) climate impacts - <br>
There is a balance to be struck (as in verbal and written
communication) between localising climate change (so that people
realise the issue is relevant to them) and trivialising the issue
(by not making clear enough links to the bigger picture)<br>
<br>
7) Be very careful with protest imagery - <br>
Images depicting protests (or protesters) attracted widespread
cynicism; most people do not feel an affinity with climate change
protesters, so images of protests may reinforce the idea that
climate change is for ‘them’ rather than ‘us’<br>
<br>
The climate visuals (images) on the website <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://climatevisuals.org">https://climatevisuals.org</a>
are absolutely stunning, and are based on the research into what
communication is most effective.<br>
<br>
If you communicate climate change verbally, in writing, on social
media, in media, in blogs, in videos, in talks, or any other way
then you will be happy to know that many of the images (each
coming with a detailed description) are Creative Commons images.<br>

Volume 41, November 2016, Pages 172-182<br>
<b>Climate visuals: A mixed methods investigation of public
perceptions of climate images in three countries</b><br>
Highlights<br>
• Little extant climate change communication research examines the
impact of imagery.<br>
<br>
• Perceived authenticity and credibility importantly influenced
image evaluations.<br>
<br>
• Familiar climate images were easily understood but also attracted
cynicism.<br>
<br>
• Images of ‘solutions’ produced positive affective responses and
less polarization.<br>
<br>
• Images of ‘impacts’ produced greater intentions towards personal
behavioral change.<br>
Abstract<br>
<blockquote>Imagery plays a central role in climate change
communication. But whereas research on the verbal communication of
climate change has proliferated, far fewer studies have focused on
visual communication. Correspondingly, relatively little is known
about how to effectively engage the public using the visual
medium. The current research is the first mixed methods,
cross-national investigation of public perceptions of climate
images, with a focus on photographic climate change imagery. Four
structured discussion groups in the UK and Germany (N = 32) and an
international survey with an embedded experiment in the UK,
Germany and the US (N = 3014) were conducted to examine how
different types of climate change imagery were evaluated. The
qualitative research pointed to the importance of the perceived
authenticity and credibility of the human subjects in climate
images, as well as widespread negativity towards images depicting
protests and demonstrations. Images of climate ‘solutions’
produced positive emotional responses in the survey and were less
polarizing for climate change skeptics, but they were also the
least motivating of action. Familiar climate images (such as a
polar bear on melting ice) were easily understood in the survey
(and evaluated positively as a consequence) but viewed with
cynicism in discussion groups. We present a detailed discussion of
these and other key findings in this paper and describe a novel
application of the data through an online image library for
practitioners which accompanies the research (<a

<blockquote>Abstract<br>
Although images play a significant role in environmental
communications, few studies have empirically examined whether
positive or negative images are more effective at engaging
attention and promoting behavior change. We conducted a 6-week
public experiment at the Florida Museum of Natural History in
Gainesville, Florida, to test whether viewing a photography
exhibit featuring images of the impacts of marine plastic
pollution on ocean ecosystems (negative valence) or images of
pristine ocean ecosystems (positive valence) would increase
engagement, monetary donations to conservation, and pledges to
help protect the ocean from plastic pollution. We tracked 1179
adults while observing the negative exhibit and 1304 adults while
observing the positive exhibit. Of the adults tracked,
significantly more engaged with the negative exhibit (270; 22.90%)
than the positive exhibit (159; 12.19%). The mean number of
pledges per visitor for the negative exhibit was significantly
higher than for the positive exhibit. However, there was not a
significant difference in donations between the two exhibits.
These results suggest that environmental organizations that seek
to capture attention should consider using images that show the
negative impacts of human behavior on the environment.<br>
