We’ve had information campaigns on Brexit and Covid. What about the climate? - Climate Outreach
In the runup to Cop26, public knowledge about the crisis is shallow, with few understanding the scale of the threat.

9/ McCarthy praises “subtle” #climate messaging in BBC Natural History programming
But subtlety is the opposite of what’s needed given the risks

8/ At the same time, parts of the UK press have become openly hostile to #climate action.
For the first time, newspaper editorial opposition to climate policy now outweighs support.
This is the media environment government is choosing to defer to, rather than lead.

7/ When climate is covered, it’s often:
– episodic, not sustained
– stripped of risk framing
– disconnected from lived impact
A new report finds only ~18 % of UK readers access independently regulated climate news, pointing to gaps in quality and oversight that risk misinformation.

5/ McCarthy then argues fewer people watch TV, especially younger people, so national briefings wouldn’t land
But this is a false choice
A national briefing should be multi-platform: TV, online, social media clips, community screenings
