I would like to try to throw in some food for thought: Science and science communication are important, but only for societies and audiences which already value science - university graduates perhaps, people who consume tv shows and journals who shed science in a good light, and such. However, different audiences exist, not only in different parts of the world (say the global north vs the global south) but also within countries. For example, climate justice may resonate more in other contexts. All I'm saying is that science communication is not and should not be the only strategy for the 'want to' - it may turn out that the some of the solutions proposed may be quite science-less or even 'anti-science', that is going against current scientific wisdom

@haris_shekeris I agree that this is one possibility. Another example I mentioned in the presentation is telling stories.

Science communication is crucial for bridging the gap between scientific research and the general public, ultimately leading to informed decision-making and positive change.

Through science communication we can pass on a great deal of info on climate change awareness.

This is commendable job, we need more awareness activities such as this.
