Call for help in raising awareness of the impact of climate change.
Our mission is to make the latest climate impact research accessible to the public. We are looking for help regarding the translation of our scientific papers into ISIpedia visualisations, videos or other formats that are easily accessible to the public. As we are scientists, we may not have the best feeling of what is easily understandable to the public and it would be great to collaborate with the experts in visual and science communication.
We invite you to join authoring teams to distill the socially relevant messages from their scientific publications into ISIpedia articles that will enable citizens, stakeholders, and policymakers to make informed decisions in the face of climate change. Articles could provide relevant information about future risks, address observed changes in natural or human systems and their attribution to climate change, but also provide information about recent advances in these processes.
ISIpedia is quite diverse in terms of formats. For example, each scientific article to be translated for ISIpedia could become a small project where you could work with an author (or small group of authors) to ensure a good translation.
See also the info for science communicator for a current list of articles or other contributions that we would like to integrate into the website, and where the scientists behind them have already expressed interest in working with you as communication experts. If you are interested in collaborating on any of these projects, please feel free to contact the editorial team. We will then put you in touch with the authors!
We look forward to hearing your ideas!
