Communicating Risk: Hazard-Impact-Action | COMPASS Risk communication is a vital skill for scientists, especially those working at the forefront of environmental and social issues like climate change and public health.  But what makes risk…

Warning people about risk isn’t enough.

Effective #RiskCommunication helps people understand what’s happening, why it matters, and what they can do.

In our latest blog post, we share a simple framework we use to cover all the bases: Hazard–Impact–Action.

Health warnings went out this week.
Ethnic media made them land.
Language, trust, and timing determine whether “public” information is actually public.

Without integrated One Health surveillance, large-scale sequencing, and trust-based governance, the risk posed by H5N1 stops being episodic and becomes structural.

We look forward to an even stronger list in 2025, and more innovative research on #HealthCommunication, #HealthPromotion, #RiskCommunication, and #GlobalHealth in 2026.

🔹 Effective #RiskCommunication takes courage – to open up the risk analysis process to stakeholders in a meaningful and consistent way.

🙏 Thank you to everyone who joined us in Brussels and especially to our speakers for bringing the event to life.

🔹 #RiskCommunication is based on TRUST – Transparency, Relationships, Understanding, Science and Technology.
🔹 #FoodSafety messages must connect scientific facts with emotional and cultural values – be empathetic, be transparent and be human.

Yesterday, on #WorldFoodDay, we brought together over 60 #RiskCommunication experts from around the world for our very first #FoodSafetySynergy conference.

What did we learn?

Effective Risk Communication: Lessons from Wildfire Science | COMPASS As climate change intensifies weather patterns, disrupts ecosystems, and endangers human health and infrastructure, the need for effective communication that supports informed action to prevent and…

Strong #RiskCommunication is just as important as strong science.

We recently teamed up with @scientistsorg.bsky.social + Matt Wright of @aaas.org to support #wildfire experts in sharing critical info clearly & effectively. Read insights in our latest post: buff.ly/aMrcWtj
