1. Earthscan Earthcasts Pre-COP Webinar: Communicating Climate Change
Thursday 11th November 2010 17:00 (UK time – GMT), 12:00 (EDT), 9:00 (PDT)
Earthscan would like to invite you to a free webinar presented by
Chris Rose – author of How to Win Campaigns: Communicating for Change – and Lorraine Whitmarsh, author of Engaging the Public with Climate Change: Behaviour Change and Communication.
• Learn effective communications strategies for engaging the public with climate change – (and why looking for generic messages about climate change is probably a waste of time)
• Learn about the different roles the public can play in tackling climate change
• Learn behaviour change strategies for encouraging sustainable lifestyles and communities
More about this webinar: This earthcast will give practical insights into how to develop more effective climate change communication and behaviour change strategies. It will present some of the challenges and opportunities for engaging the public with climate change, but also consider the limits to public engagement with climate change. The earthcast will also cover:
• How unconscious values match to attitudes and beliefs that can be used to design action on climate change
• How NGOs could change their strategy on climate change and the UNFCCC
• Different roles the public can play in tackling climate change
• Behaviour change strategies for encouraging sustainable lifestyles and communities
• Messages about climate change that engage the public (and those that don’t)
Who should register? Anyone involved in communicating about climate change, sustainability, and related issues – and those interested in changing behaviour – policymakers, professionals, businesses, campaign groups, NGOs, students and interested citizens.
