Climate Confident Why Climate Messaging Fails When It Turns Partisan
In this episode of the Climate Confident Podcast, I chat with Kathleen Biggins, founder of C-Change Conversations. Kathleen's organisation is unique in its nonpartisan approach, travelling across the U.S. to educate diverse groups about the tangible impacts of climate change.
We delve into how C-Change effectively communicates the science and risks associated with climate change to conservative and moderate audiences, emphasising the importance of addressing the issue beyond political divides.
Kathleen shares how their tailored presentations make the science accessible and relevant, highlighting real-world impacts like extreme weather and economic consequences. We discuss the urgency of bipartisan cooperation to mitigate climate risks and adapt to changes, and how younger voters' increasing concern about climate issues could shift political landscapes.
Tune in to hear Kathleen’s insights on how we can foster understanding and action across the political spectrum to ensure a safer, more sustainable future.
