Hi all
Just to let you know that we are into the marking of the 501 blogs but it is going a little slower due to illness (tis the season of colds, covid, and ??). We will have those marked and back to you next week.
While I am reading the blogs, i have been thinking about some tools you may already know of from Shandell, or not. I am not sure so i wanted to share those here. These are great climate change communication tools and guides. I will also share these with Shandell so she can add them to her course if they are not already there, and I do my best to list these resources on the MACAL wordpress site, but I don't always find the time to do this. So here they are:
1) The first is Climate Outreach's Guide "Climate Visuals: Seven principles for visual climate change communication" . You can download the guide from their website - https://climateaccess.org/resource/climate-visuals-seven-principles-visual-climate-change-communication - but also check out the links they provide to other resources that are helpful in the communication area.
Climate Outreach has lots of great reports and guides you may find of use.
2) Climate Visuals.org has https://climatevisuals.org/ a climate visual library you can register for (- read the licensing agreement first. As a student you can register under the educational category but you may want to register under one of the other categories depending on your work etc.) that allows you to download and use images with correct attributions.
3) IPCC's Principles for effective communication and public engagement on climate change Handbook
4) Center for Research on Environmental Decisions (CRED)- Principles of Climate Change Communication in Brief.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, for those of you in Canada, if you celebrate, and for all, I hope the fall is treating you well and that you are in good health.
Take care,
Robin
