Boost your Climate Change Communication Skills
Do you want to boost your climate change communication skills by developing ways of building desirable visions of a positive low carbon future?
Sell the Sizzle: the new climate message
Sizzle is the latest piece of thought leadership to focus on the need to develop tangible, desirable and aspirational visions of a positive low carbon future. When selling a sausage, it's the sizzle that counts, the sound and smell - otherwise you're selling a dead pig. Unfortunately on climate change it's passed-away pork we've been flogging, so maybe a bit of sizzle might help...
Sizzle is the brainchild of Futerra, one of the few UK communications consultancies to specialise solely in sustainable development and corporate social responsibility. We’ve invited them to work exclusively with Climate Challenge Fund groups on helping develop your abilities to engage with your community.
Our special CCF workshop will be led by:
