Concerted action for resilience Sample Clauses

Concerted action for resilience. As pointed out repeatedly in this report, indicators are special reductions of complexity with the purpose to serve as quantitative measures allowing for comparability. In literature and workshops the need for concerted action across municipality sectors, and with citizens was emphasised consistently. Indicators should therefore also be assessed by their fitness for creating awareness, for science communication and comparability. The translation of scientific results into non-technical terms, and the communication of these results with the policymakers, stakeholders, media, and the public are key ingredients for both mitigation and adaptation efforts to succeed. Within the RAMSES project, therefore, we propose that indicators also be evaluated in terms of their potential to enhance the public debate about appropriate targets and pathways, and in terms of their appeal to be taken up by mass media, which plays an important role in teaching about climate change (adaptation) and the social construction of risks (Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx, 2004; Xxxxxxxx, 2009; Xxxx, 2009). Evaluating the dimensions of indicators that characterize their communicability, including simplicity, appeal, and relevance in the context of stakeholders and connection to everyday life (X’Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx-Xxxx, 2009; Xxxxxxxxx et al., 2007), their degree of association with (positive) emotions (Xxxxxxxxx et al., 2007), or whether they allow for a local narration (Shaw et al. 2009 p.460), would be scientifically valuable as such.
