Climate Story Lab Lagos

Narrative Poll

Understanding how people interpret, discuss, and emotionally connect with climate issues through accessible questions that capture public perceptions, narratives, and communication patterns across different communities.

Understanding How Communities Perceive Climate Issues

Climate Story Lab Lagos uses narrative polling as a practical tool to understand how people interpret, discuss, and emotionally connect with climate and environmental issues. Through short, accessible questions, the poll captures insights from diverse audiences; community members, creatives, civil society actors, policymakers, and everyday Nigerians who experience the realities of climate change in different ways.

What Is a Narrative Poll?

A narrative poll is a structured way of gathering information about prevailing stories, perceptions, and communication patterns around climate change. Instead of measuring only knowledge or attitudes, it explores the language people use, the narratives they trust, the misconceptions they hold, and the themes that resonate most strongly across communities.

Identifying Trends in Public Discourse

It reveals emerging concerns, dominant themes, and gaps in understanding, enabling creatives and communicators to align their storytelling with real public sentiment.

Locating Strategic Entry Points

By highlighting what audiences respond to – hope, justice, innovation, security, or cultural identity, the poll helps storytellers craft narratives that connect meaningfully with lived experiences.

Strengthening Climate Communication

Insights from the poll support the development of more effective public messaging, outreach strategies, and story-driven interventions that advance climate awareness and action.
