Abstract

This guide provides you with an overview of the key concepts you’ll need to understand about communicating climate risk. Throughout the guide the main ideas and lessons learned on risk communication are outlined, and examples are used to illustrate ways in which risk communication strategies have been used to support climate adaptation activities in Africa. Much of this guide draws on experiences from the ACCCA programme, and a set of articles written by Anna Taylor, Tahia Devisscher, Fernanda Zermoglio and Jon Padgham1. A guidance document written by SEI and ENDA in 20092 also provided particularly useful background material.
