Local governments and the services they provide contribute a small percentage of a community’s climate pollution. Because the majority comes from the private sector (homes, businesses, churches, schools, hospitals, etc.), successful community climate solutions require broad community participation.
A key step is to ensure that mayors are well equipped to communicate local climate solutions to leaders and residents.
“Let’s Talk Communities and Climate” provides that support. Featuring research-proven practices for successful climate communication, this guide can play a vital role in every community leader’s tool kit. From talking points to counterpoints, “dos” and “don’ts,” proven steps to create your own custom message, and a model speech, the guide helps you to successfully integrate climate into conversations, speaking engagements, and other communications.
