A new study reveals how different communities talk about climate risk.

The fragmented nature of information on climate change adaptation makes it difficult to access the knowledge needed for informed decision-making. This issue is compounded by inconsistent terminology used across various online platforms, further complicating efforts to gather and apply relevant data effectively.

Communities use varying terms when discussing climate risks, making it hard to share vital information.

The lack of a unified language around climate risk could lead to prolonged periods of ineffective adaptation strategies, exacerbating the vulnerability of communities to future climate impacts.

What are the immediate real estate and economic risks?

Without a common language for discussing climate risks, real estate investments may suffer from uninformed decisions. Economic activities could also be disrupted as businesses fail to adapt effectively to changing conditions.

Immediate risks remain high due to poor communication.
