Are you worried about the changes occurring to our climate, but avoid discussing climate change because you don’t know how? Are you afraid you might offend someone or get into an argument?

A recent survey of American adults by The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication found that discussing climate change is key. To read the article in full, click [here] .

The TALK program takes the research on climate change communication theories and turns it into practice, teaching you the skills to raise the issue of climate change comfortably and successfully.

You will leave this program:

• Having practiced raising and discussing climate change

• Understanding how to choose the right message based on the beliefs, background, and knowledge of the person to whom you are speaking

• With the confidence to talk to people with differing perspectives

There are three TALK options:

• A short, 1.5-hour program

• An expanded 4-hour program, consisting of two 2-hour meetings

• An all-day program

Programs are currently meeting via Zoom. There is no charge, but a $20 donation to help defray costs is welcome. For scheduling or questions, please email me at tory@climatechangegroup.org.
