Abstract

This thematic issue presents current empirical research focusing on theory and practice around the communication of risk, trust, and resilience in the context of societies characterised by diversity and/or inequality. A key goal of the editors was to include studies from the Global South as well as the Global North and thereby ensure a truly international collection of research studies, and we are delighted to be able to publish 10 high-quality research articles from authors in Africa, Asia, Oceania, South America, and Europe. In this collection, many authors note that there is a need for a transition from solely top-down, expert-centred communication to equity-oriented, inclusive communication which will help to bring to the centre marginalized voices and thereby improve outcomes for health, safety, and welfare of these groups.
