The Psychology of Climate Change Communication
This training explores how we make decisions when something is uncertain, how we communicate about the collective risks we face, and what kind of participatory process is most supportive in leading to behavior change.
As we transition to New Community this Training Guide will be uploaded soon. Thanks for referring to the "Watch" & "Listen" tabs for the full content for the time being.
Dr. Marx responds to volunteer’s submitted questions from her conversation on the January 2018 National Call and aims at helping volunteers improve their understanding of psychological barriers to information processing, increase their ability to evaluate current communication patterns and grow in their comfort in connecting and communicating with audiences.
