The impacts of climate change are global in scope, frightening in scale and felt most harshly at the local level. At the same time, there is a concerted effort to deny the causes and to brand the solutions as painful, punitive and useless so we can continue (profitable) business as usual. With such a tough topic, embarking on discussions of climate change can feel like venturing into a communications minefield. The good news is that land trusts’ work is uniquely aligned to address climate change impacts whether the “c-word” is ever brought up. This topic area will help you find the promise, rather than the peril, in climate communications. We have a wealth of resources designed to start you off on the right track to transform your communications and bring your community on board with your climate efforts. And if your land trust has found the special sauce in communicating climate, share your success!
