Complexity of CCH data

• Many stakeholders – including policy-makers, health care providers and the general public – struggle to interpret climate projections and health risk models due to their technical nature.
• Overly complex messaging can reduce engagement and prevent action.

• Use simple infographics, videos and short animations to make complex findings engaging.
• Share real-world case studies or personal narratives to connect with audiences emotionally.
• Translate key messages into plain language, avoiding jargon.
• Engage the audience through Q&A sessions, polls and user-generated content.

Misinformation and political barriers

• Climate change and its health impacts are highly politicized, leading to misinformation campaigns that create scepticism and resistance.
• In some regions, economic and political interests actively undermine scientific messaging.

• Partner with influencers and trusted messengers (e.g. health professionals, scientists and community leaders) to amplify key messages.
• Focus on shared values – such as health, economic stability and disaster preparedness – to make climate action more broadly acceptable.
