Gaps in communication, education, and outreach limit communities’ ability to connect climate issues with everyday concerns and sustain broad, intergenerational understanding.
View the details on what communities have shared with SLECC from across the state.
Intergenerational climate education is fragmented, creating uneven understanding across age groups. Schools vary in teaching climate concepts, and some families rely on children to translate information for adults, limiting shared community-wide climate knowledge.
Climate information is too technical, jargon-heavy, and poorly translated, limiting community understanding. Residents may grasp climate impacts but not the terminology, and literal translations lack cultural context. Data-dense presentations are hard to follow, while visual tools like infographics and murals communicate risks more effectively.
