The climate crisis demands a new vocabulary to describe what the burning of fossil fuels is doing to the planet.<\/p>\n<p>While terms such as greenhouse gases, carbon footprint, and sustainability have quickly slipped into everyday use in English, turning them into sign language is a more complicated process. But a team of experts at the University of Edinburgh &#8211; including deaf scientists and educators &#8211; were determined to do just that so that deaf people could be included in this critical conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, 400 new environmental science terms were approved in British Sign Language (BSL) following sign creation workshops at the university\u2019s Scottish Sensory Centre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCreating BSL signs for abstract climate concepts is very different from tangible objects like animals, but the process is equally fascinating,\u201d explains Dr Audrey Cameron, who is managing the BSL glossary project, in a recent article for academic outlet The Conversation. \u201cWhile a rabbit sign might directly represent its physical appearance, climate concepts require a deep understanding of scientific processes to create meaningful visual representations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/01\/06\/what-is-climate-change-in-sign-language-experts-develop-new-vocabulary-for-the-deaf-commun\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/01\/06\/what-is-climate-change-in-sign-language-experts-develop-new-vocabulary-for-the-deaf-commun\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/what-is-climate-change-in-sign-language-experts-develop-new-vocabulary-for-the-deaf-community\/\">What is climate change in sign language?
