As the discussions at this month’s COP28 gathering in Dubai have highlighted, we are at a defining moment for safeguarding the future of our planet against the most extreme effects of climate change.

Communicating impact is hard. It’s a complex effort that, more often than not, takes a lot of work to get right.

That’s a lot to consider — and a lot to try to communicate to consumers.
