Bridging the Awareness Gap: Mobilizing Rural and Peri-Urban Communities for Climate Action

This research explores how the lack of climate awareness among rural and peri-urban populations contributes to the worsening of global climate change. It identifies major gaps in knowledge and access to environmental information and analyzes the impact of digital exclusion. The study proposes community-based, culturally relevant awareness strategies—such as local campaigns, storytelling, and low-tech educational tools—to foster environmental responsibility. By highlighting these overlooked communities, the paper emphasizes the importance of inclusive climate communication for global sustainability.
