New Climate Communications Initiative Climate Voices -- Science Speakers Network will be launched this spring as a new initiative of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and the United Nations Foundation. The goal is to bring scientists and their local communities together for real dialogue on climate science that speaks to citizens' current and future well-being and responsibility as members of a community and democracy. Materials for context-setting presentations will be offered as will coaching regarding how to begin conversations about climate change with fellow citizens. Venues for such conversations will be local institutions such as service organizations (Rotary, etc.), faith-based institutions, chambers of commerce, etc.
If you are interested in volunteering for this network, please go to climatevoices.org and create a profile. Profiles will "go public" when the full web site is launched in about a month. Once you create a profile, you will be kept up to date on Climate Voices progress including construction of the full web site, availability of presentation materials, webinar coaching, and plans for project launch. For any questions, please contact: Cindy Schmidt (UCAR), [email protected]
