Climate Change Series: Communicating Climate Change
Communicating on Climate Change for action and commitment. How can we communicate climate change and embed into our communications, in a way that is accessible and relatable? What are the key considerations and how can we be most effective? In this webinar you will hear from leading professionals at Albert Productions, Futerra, and from the BBC.
How can we best communicate on Climate Change?
What’s the best way to “sell” the need for action? Do we stick to scientific facts, and potentially scare people? Do we paint a positive future, which might inspire? Do we have a dream, or a nightmare and how do we navigate this challenge?
We were joined by a panel of three expert practitioners who use a range of tactics to get the message across. The session was chaired by Richard Smith, IEMA Fellow and sustainability lead for the BBC, and with presentations from Tricia Duffy, Strategy Advisor at ALBERT and Laura Hunter, Creative Director, Futerra.
This webinar is suitable for all IEMA membership grades and especially for members active on climate change engagement or looking to embed climate action into wider organisational approaches and strategies.

Pledge to Net Zero - Creating the business case for fast climate action
Hosted during week 2 of COP26, this panel discussion focused on how to build a business case around taking action on climate change.
The Low Carbon Construction event hosted by the Yorkshire and Humberside regional network, looked into how building back better presents an opportunity to do things differently. In particular, it provides an opportunity to address some of the challenges presented by the decarbonisation agenda.
This webinar provided a unique first-hand briefing on this important development in the build up to COP26 and outlined progress and proposals developing through the Taskforce, along with practice informed perspectives on the potential of carbon markets both globally and for organisations.
In this webinar, we learned about the outcomes of this review, considerations identified across carbon offset and ‘compensation’ solutions, and implications of the findings for those developing their carbon offsetting programmes. The webinar focused on the context of the Environment Agency.
Now that it's been almost two years since the flurry of climate emergency declarations were made by multiple organisations across our region and as COP26 approaches, we took a look at the challenges and the opportunities that have been encountered by public sector organisations in leading climate emergency response at local level.
In this webinar, Thomas Hale from University of Oxford outlined the Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon Offsetting.
Our Midlands Race to Zero webinar featured speakers discussing the topic of net zero and answer questions about this very current and challenging agenda.
The second day of online delivery of Scotland’s EIA Conference saw three experienced presenters discuss their views on EIA’s progress in different aspects of climate change and nature enhancement goals.
