In 1992, the world agreed to “prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system”. In 2023, we are seeing dangerous climate impacts play out everywhere, constantly. Risk, harm, and cost, are all piling up. Lives and livelihoods are at risk, around the world. We may be, however, on the brink of a major breakthrough in the acceleration of global climate action. For the first time, Article 6.8 of the Paris Agreement will be materially on the table at the annual United Nations Climate Change negotiations; that means we can finally talk about nation-by-nation carbon pricing, cooperative climate clubs of aligned pricing and incentives, and the ultimate goal of establishing a future of climate-smart trade, finance, and everyday economics. Join Citizens’ Climate International in this seminar to learn more.

Transform the way you communicate with members of Congress and folks in your community with motivational interviewing. This workshop led by CCL’s Great Lakes Regional Coordinator John Sabin will review the basics of the technique, including incorporating open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries. Attendees will then take a deeper dive into the process of "evoking change talk," to effectively communicate about climate solutions. This informative session will also include a reflection on how CCL's "one rule" — to treat all people with respect, appreciation, and gratitude — can serve as a guiding light in all of our climate conversations. Time will be included for practice and live coaching.
