Building shared knowledge on the climate crisis

© Arctic Circle Professor Annegret Hannawa from USI Faculty of Communication, Culture and Society will conduct one of the sessions of the upcoming Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavík, Iceland. The conference is the largest annual international meeting on the Arctic, and over 700 speakers and more than 2000 participants from 60 countries are expected. The Arctic Circle Association, a non-profit organization, was established in 2013 to promote discussions between political and business leaders, environmental experts, indigenous representatives, scientists, and other stakeholders about the challenges caused by climate change and melting sea ice in the Arctic. Among the initiatives of Arctic Circle is the annual conference, which this year will be held from 19 to 21 October at the Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre in Reykjavík. Professor Annegret Hannawa devised the session "Hearing the Arctic's Call: The Time to Act as One", focusing on the need for effective communication to address global challenges. Simply sharing information is insufficient to create a shared understanding that engages people and moves them to act. Professor Hannawa, what do you find lacking in communication on climate change?.
