Publisher Information: SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, 2025.
Publication Year: 2025
Subject Terms: ChatGPT, Climate education, Climate change, Climate communication
Description: Climate communication faces challenges such as scientific complexity, misinformation or lack of personal connection that make it difficult for the public to understand and act on climate change in an informed way. This study was conducted to ascertain whether Generative AI may facilitate public understanding and reduce barriers to climate communication. Questions were asked to ChatGPT, that provided clear and informative answers, synthesising key concepts, clarifying doubts and excluding misinformation. Some answers were too brief or general, requiring more information. As Generative AI depends upon open access information, academia has a key role in ensuring availability of accurate science-based and policy-relevant knowledge.
