缓解和适应气候变化的迫切需要在科学界和政策界得到了越来越广泛的理解，但公众的意识却落后了。视觉交流在加速社会学习和推动实施所需的重大政策、技术和生活方式变革方面的潜力已经开始得到认识。特别是，现实的景观可视化可能会提供特殊的优势，通过以令人信服的方式将气候变化的某些可能后果带给人们，从而迅速提高人们对气候变化的认识，并可能影响人们的行为和政策。然而，这样的应用程序还很少使用，可视化在这一角色中的有效性的理论基础还没有清楚地建立起来，而且采用一种有说服力的方法故意将情感与视觉图像结合起来引发了伦理问题。这些问题和政策含义是在景观可视化对气候变化信息的一系列反应的影响的理论框架的背景下讨论的，部分借鉴了景观可视化的其他应用的证据。作者的结论是，考虑到基于披露、戏剧性和防御性的伦理标准，有说服力的可视化和其他方法的使用可能是有效的，是合理的，在帮助有效地传播气候变化方面可能是至关重要的。
The urgent need to mitigate and adapt to climate change is becoming more widely understood in scientific and policy circles, but public awareness lags behind. The potential of visual communication to accelerate social learning and motivate implementation of the substantial policy, technological, and life-style changes needed, has begun to be recognised. In particular, realistic landscape visualisations may offer special advantages in rapidly advancing peoples’ awareness of climate change and possibly affecting behaviour and policy, by bringing certain possible consequences of climate change home to people in a compelling manner. However, few such applications are yet in use, the theoretical basis for the effectiveness of visualisations in this role has not been clearly established, and there are ethical concerns elicited by adopting a persuasive approach which deliberately engages the emotions with visual imagery. These questions and policy implications are discussed in the context of a theoretical framework on the effects of landscape visualisation on a spectrum of responses to climate change information, drawing in part on evidence from other applications of landscape visualisation. The author concludes that the persuasive use of visualisations, together with other approaches, may be effective, is justified, and could be vital in helping communicate climate change effectively, given ethical standards based on disclosure, drama, and defensibility.
