REVIEWS
"Communicating Climate Change provides a coherent explanation of effective climate change communication for practitioners. The vignettes offer excellent examples of environmental educators using these strategies to develop more helpful programs, share information about climate science, and empower people to adopt strategies to mitigate and adapt to change."
- Martha Monroe, Professor and Extension Specialist, University of Florida
"Our climate is changing faster than scientists ever predicted. Communicating Climate Change explores the critical role education plays in addressing threats posed by climate change and the importance of understanding audience values, needs, knowledge, and identities. Educators will find a wealth of ideas, including two essential insights: information is not enough to catalyze action and people need hope!"
