This diverse research theme focuses on the many facets of communication in the discussion and presentation of environmental science. 

Climate change and climate policy are considered as a part of this research theme, along with broader environmental and ecological considerations such as introduced or invasive species, conservation efforts, land use and clearance and pollution.

Our research investigates: 

• How has climate communication in the public arena changed over time?
• What are the best methods for broad, inclusive, meaningful environmental and climate
• dialogue?
• How can ‘unconventional’ communication methods (such as art or theatre) be used to
• improve environmental communication efforts?
• What effects does involving citizens in hands-on environmental activities have on
• environmentally responsible behaviour?
• What are key characteristics of successful environmental communication enterprises?
• What role do trust and values play in successful environmental communication?
