Thanks to the anonymous reviewers and all the people at @critdiscstuds.bsky.social for the suggestions and help throughout the process

This research is the result of the constant support and guidance of my amazing supervisor @katherineeruss1.bsky.social and the outcome of my visiting research period at @mcrlinguistics.bsky.social with the best host supervisor and co-author I could have wished for @niallrcurry.bsky.social.

In closing, we argue that critical discursive approaches to public-oriented research communication can help foster reflexive engagement with research and communicative practices when translating academic knowledge in the public domain.

Against this background, we discuss knowledge production as a power-laden and situated process influenced by contextual, socio-political conditions of production.

While patterns of representation partially recognise the co-productive nature of socio-environmental dynamics, they often reproduce a universalising narrative that does not acknowledge differential exposure to climate risks.

In the paper, we discuss the concept of climate adaptation in public-oriented research communication and investigate how epistemological frameworks shape representational patterns when translating academic knowledge in the public domain.
