[PCST] workshop on communicating climate change pre-COP15

[Hugo Ahlenius]

(Apologies for cross-posting)

Dear friends and colleagues,

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges we currently face, with an almost infinite complexity affecting all aspects of our lives. Explaining the science and importance of climate change is not easy. Targeted communication with maps and graphics makes it easier to grasp what it's all about.

Many of us now have the power to work closely with data, but we also need to know how to use that data to reach policymakers and the public. Communicating effectively without getting lost in the complexity of the topic is also essential.

In our role as environmental communications experts, we have joined forces to establish a training program to build capacity in using maps and graphics to explain climate change.

We plan to hold the training in the days leading up to COP15 in Copenhagen in December, and we welcome anyone involved in communicating climate change issues. You can read more about the workshop at http://nordpil.com/climateworkshop.

Would you or your institution be interested in attending? Your comments, suggestions and ideas are very welcome!
 

Best wishes,

Hugo Ahlenius and Marianne Fernagut
