Health in communicating adaptation to climate change
Abstract
At a time when data confirms that climate change is a reality, researching communication around this phenomenon is essential. Moreover, when its consequences affect health, studying this in the communication of climate change is necessary. This research seeks to identify the importance of communication in adaptation to climate change and media coverage on communication of climate change and its effects on health. For this, a quantitative and qualitative approach has been used, using a survey and a focus group. Among the results, the people surveyed say that the media focus their information on the consequences and that the media do not promote quality information, but instead become a source of bad news. Meanwhile, the focus group points out that there is a growing tendency to include this topic within solutions journalism.
