Climate Change Communication

Climate change is acknowledged as a global emergency. Prospects are dire if we continue with business as usual, yet all the solutions we need to avert climate disaster exist and are actionable.

Our new leaders in Washington are taking strong steps to prioritize this issue, making this an auspicious time to mobilize decision-makers at all levels of business and government. As constituents, it is crucial that we know how to empower ourselves and other members of our communities to take educate, advocate, and change policies at all levels of society.

This workshop will feature effective strategies for catalyzing significant change, with reference to "Connecting on Climate: A Guide to Effective Climate Change Communication" (Columbia University, 2014). To put it all in perspective, we will open with an overview of current climate issues and a look at their intersection with inequity and racism.
