Wayfinding Climate

Hosted virtually, these two-hour sessions draw on cutting-edge research on the human dimensions of climate change and provide training in the human skills needed to engage in complex, uncertain social contexts. 

This is designed for climate actors in any sector–such as, in non-profit organizations, the private sector, and in public institutions at all levels of government (municipal, provincial and federal); academics and students who may be interested in applications of climate psycho-social research in practice.

You will come away with new ideas and vantage points on the social dimensions of climate change, and learn unique, practical tools for engagement – tools that go deeper than and beyond messaging tactics and campaign slogans. You will also come away with deepened connections and insights from diverse climate actors: This is a space for learning, unlearning, community and strategy.

• The role of worldviews in finding a way through polarized discourses

• The values that surround climate and how to diminish the gap between what people value and how people act

• Five distinct climate change discourses that influence peoples perceptions of global warming and how to intervene in a ‘discourse-informed’ manner
