Changing the Conversation: An Introduction to Effective Climate Change Communication

**As NNOCCI favors education over income, this event is put on free of charge. While in no way a requirement to attend, we appreciate donations of any amount to continue our work. Like many climate and community resilience groups, NNOCCI's sole funding was terminated in January of this year. Our organization is run by one part-time staff member, and a network of volunteers; we ensure every cent will be used to help us continue providing effective climate communication for all, and thank you for considering!

Featuring guest speakers:

• Krystal Krucik | Public Programs Coordinator, The Marine Mammal Center
• Jessica Schellhorn | Education Manager, Blank Park Zoo

Trying to communicate climate change, but people just don't seem to respond to your facts and science? As important as knowing the climate science, social science provides evidence-based practices that allow us to communicate climate science more effectively. Please join us on Friday, June 27th from 11:00am-12:00 pm PT/2:00pm-3:00 pm ET to be introduced to the work of the National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation (NNOCCI), a collective of over 800 climate communicators. In this free webinar, learn how specific values and metaphors make your audience more receptive to climate change messaging and join a community of communicators changing the climate discourse to be more positive, civic-minded, and solutions-focused.

NNOCCI has partnered on dozens of peer-reviewed publications that describe its unique combination of elements for training and highlighting the network's outcomes. NNOCCI is supported through a fiscal sponsorship with The Marine Mammal Center. With 15 years of success, NNOCCI is widely recognized as the United States' leading climate change interpretation training program, and recently expanded its work into Canada.
