National Society experience – a catalogue More than 60 National Societies from around the world have been working on climate change. Some of their experiences are included and used as key actions for the implementation of this module.
It’s with great pride that we can now present a long list of communications materials and products on climate change issues developed by Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies all over the world. We hope it will inspire you and help you in constructing your own products. Do not forget that the Climate Centre website can complement information you may already have and help you connect with others.

For nearly a decade the Climate Centre created a series of practical tools and useful documents as a result of working together with the IFRC and also with support of other organizations and donors. These products have been designed with one key message: The risk of climate-related disaster is increasing. The poor, the elderly and the sick are disproportionately vulnerable, but we can prepare.

To communicate this message best, it is necessary to do an analysis of the documents and tools that already exist. The general understanding of the information will allow us to increase knowledge, share lessons learned, and promote new ideas based on experience. In the Relevant reading section of this module on communications, we provide a full guide to communicating climate change. The case studies, documents and products below were all generated by National Societies, and new products will be added as they’re generated.

There are different types communication products that can convey messages effectively to target audiences. Once you decide to create messages and products, please remember:
• It is important to communicate in a clear way which kind of dangers the community is facing and how to reduce risks.
• Communication products have greater impact if they include images on before and after community scenarios.
• Products may include community testimonies with thoughts about the past, changes in the present and uncertainties for the future.
• Before printing, test your messages to check if they are fully understood.
• Involve partners in the creation of the module – that way your information will come through reliable sources.

MERCHANDISING National Societies design promotional products to help the corporate image and raise awareness. Products become an incentive for community and National Society alike. They also provide simple information through short and creative messages, but it’s important to be consistent with the climate change message you are promoting.
