European Meteorological Society (EMS) Code of Practice for communicating knowledge on climate change to the public
What is this about?
The European Meteorological Society, consisting of 38 member societies and 31 associate members, aims to advance the science, profession and application of meteorology, and of sciences related to it, at the Europe-wide level, for the benefit of the whole population.
Why is this important?
Via their code of conduct, the EMS provides guidelines for individuals of the meteorological community in Europe on how to communicate honestly and reliably with the general public, including the media, on issues of meteorology and in particular on complex or controversial issues such as climate change.
