ENGAGE No one can do the most important climate change work alone. Engaging with others is key to taking action. According to climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe, the most important thing we can do as individuals to address the climate crisis….. is simply “to talk about it!” Often broaching this topic is difficult to do with friends and family members. Learn more effective climate communication skills for individuals, and strategies for scientists, climate journalists, and others to communicate more effectively. Learn about training to lead local climate groups or affect public policy and more from the Climate Reality Project, 350.org, Citizens Climate Lobby, and others. Discover educational materials for your kids and schools to use and learn about new ways to engage with others. Search our content for topics of interest to you concerning groups, events calendars, tradeshows, conferences, and other places to connect with the greater like-minded climate-concerned community.
