Understanding your audiences' perceptions is key to the success of any communication
campaign. This research note outlines a pilot study using the Situational Model of publics to
segment the broader public. Focus groups were used to study publics' understandings and
perceptions of climate change to determine if this issue-based publics model is relevant to
this field. The work shows the potential of this model of publics, but in the case of climate
change it may need a minor refinement.
