This FREE resource for communicating about climate science from Meghan Wise popped up in my LinkedIn feed and it seemed like a great climate education resource to share here.

One of the themes that has emerged over my years of working on climate science instruction with teachers and preservice teachers is a certain level reluctance to engage in discussions on climate (who can blame anyone for feeling this way). I haven’t always had an abundance of resources to refer folks to…so I’m excited to add another tool to our toolbox.

Communicating Climate Change with Care and Impact is a FREE pdf that you can access HERE. You will find:

• a variety of frames for crafting information and communication on climate change
• using metaphor to frame climate communication
• key principles and practices of climate communication
• climate equity tools
• how to navigate resistance and denial
• strategies for challenging conversations
• beautiful illustrations and graphics that support the tools and strategies also by Meghan Wise
• and much more

NOTE: I have only given this a quick skim and it definitely meets the eye test. They say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover…but I’m judging this one and it’s beautiful. Check out that original artwork throughout! I look forward to digging in and planning how to use this in the coming years. I also look forward to hearing from anyone who starts to use this resource and learning from you.
