Abstract
The ability to communicate climate change vulnerability is addressed in this paper, particularly in relation to the development of visualization science. Effective communication can promote dialogue and public debate, provoke individual action, and underscore policy making. A review is provided of current spatial modelling of climate change impacts, together with how impacts-modelling has been combined with landscape visualization. This is followed by an overview of scenarios of future climate change impacts and issues related to Uncertainty.
