Abstract

These 20 points offer a summary of the second edition of Communicating Climate Risk: A Toolkit, which will be published by the Analysis under Uncertainty for Decision Makers Network and the UK Universities Climate Network later this year. They seek to give a very condensed high level snapshot of the current state of climate risk communication research. We welcome all comments and suggestions. A note on scope: Our focus is on climate risk communication for decision-making (especially in policy and industry), although we are also interested in climate risk communication more broadly.
