External Messaging: an overview of climate change communication for public health
Communicating about the climate crisis as a public health crisis is a challenge that many of us struggle with, and a lack of confidence in this area can prevent us from being the effective professionals and advocates we aspire to be.
In this webinar from the FPH sustainable development special interest group (SIG), we will be hearing from a range of speakers who will give us an overview of the basics of climate change communication for public health, with a more external audience (the public, media and politicians) in mind. Our speakers include:
- Professor Ed Maibach, Director of the Centre for Climate Change Communication at George Mason University in the USA
- Kate Llewellyn, Head of Training and Engagement at Heard, a UK charity working with people and the media to inspire content and communication that changes hearts and minds
- Matthew Green, global investigations editor at DeSmog, leading coverage of the global climate crisis, energy politics, and the struggles for environmental justice through an international lens..
Each speaker shares their expertise and experiences on this topic in this pre-recorded session.
We will then hold a Q&A with a member of the FPH SIG and our regional ADPH leads for Climate & Health Catherine & Toni.
We will finish with time in small groups for reflective peer learning and discussion of how this might be implemented in our professional lives.
