  text: "Graduation Project: Understanding Climate Change,  https://climatechange.infografia-design.de/\r\nClimate
    change is happening now. Because of our dependence on fossil fuels, climate change
    will continue into the future, with relatively unpredictable impacts on humans
    and the environment. There are several psychological barriers and other challenges
    that prevent people from committing themselves to the cause of mitigating climate
    change through behavioral change. The complexity of the issue, its abstract nature
    and the uncertainties associated with predictions and scientific research make
    it difficult for non-experts to grasp. Interdisciplinary collaborations can overcome
    the insular focus of climate change science. A shared methodology that combines
    best practices from other disciplines like psychology, marketing and visual communication,
    may help to better results when trying to communicate complex messages to the
    mainstream public. This research explores the above points and then develops a
    series of recommendations for climate change communication based on the gained
    knowledge.\r\nThe graduation project (a Website) is based on these recommendations
