6.3.12 (HL)—Stakeholders and climate perspectives

Charismatic individuals, local community groups, NGOs, media and educational institutions can change what audiences notice, trust, understand or feel able to do about climate change.

Map stakeholder → channel → message or evidence → change in knowledge, values or perceived efficacy → action. Funding, access and misinformation can strengthen or distort the pathway.

A local group combines flood maps with resident testimony, making adaptation risk salient and prompting a council decision.

Look for a traceable change in knowledge, belief, participation, behavior or policy—not audience size alone.

Influence is not automatically beneficial; inspect whose interests and evidence are amplified.
