Accelerate climate action with behavior change. The Center for Behavior and Climate is offering our second online workshop series on Behavior Change for Climate Action, starting August 13, 6–7 pm EDT. DON’T WAIT—JUST NINE DAYS LEFT TO REGISTER, and registration is limited to the first 25 people!
This practical and entertaining live virtual workshop—the first of its kind for climate change—teaches evidence-based behavior change techniques to accelerate both collective and individual climate action. Learn about the barriers to climate action; the latest theories underlying collective and individual action; behavioral tools; the process for applying behavior change; how to match the behavior tool to the audience; and outreach and communication tips, including framing for different audiences. Practice opportunities and small-group breakouts are part of every session.
TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR COURSES
This course offered great insight and strategies for connecting with people in a way that resonates, is personally relevant, and inspires behavior change and climate action.—Midge I, Executive Director, Grassroots Non-Profit Organization
The Center for Behavior and Climate workshop helped us rethink the language we used in our climate change education project to have the greatest possible impact. Using scientific research and expertise from Caroly and her team helped us reframe how we are providing hope and encouraging action to mitigate climate impacts. I highly recommend this workshop for anyone working in the field.—Heather S., UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center
I am certain that your "lessons" fell on fertile ground. We will want to consult these ideas - for example - words to use with conservatives versus liberal - again and again!! Thank you so much. Thank you so much for giving me and others some more useful ammunition to motivate others to act on climate!—Barbara W., Citizens Climate Lobby
The workshop was eye-opening because it shows ways to expand our work beyond our personal point of view on issues of community debate.—Participant from a 2023 group workshop
The workshop was wonderful and I’m grateful to have our group benefit from best practice climate action.—Participants from a 2023 group workshop
I like how you started with Collective Action – I really think this is where the movement is going for climate action so this was new to me!—Participant from a 2023 group workshop
I’ve had some training in both behavior change and climate communications through my job as a fisheries biologist but this was the first time I’ve seen them both put together in one setting – that was VERY useful!—Participant from a 2023 group workshop
