Citizens' Climate University: The Power of Storytelling (Audio)

Audio Only: Want to be more impactful as an advocate with how you share your own stories?

Join Climate Journalist Sara Peach and CCL's Marketing Director Lesley Beatty for a webinar that highlights compelling examples of personal climate advocacy stories and provides tools and recommendations for CCL supporters to improve their own storytelling, including the Yale Climate Communications Formula:

1. Something in my life or our community is changing.

2. It’s related to climate change.  

3. It matters. (Hint: people are affected.)

4. What solutions/personal actions I'm taking.

After tuning in, begin framing your own climate stories based on this sequence connecting with your audience.  What everyone brings to their own story of climate advocacy are the things that make them unique and give them power.

Citizens' Climate University: Dividend Delivery Study (Audio)

 

Audio Only: The following webinar represents the key findings of a study commissioned by CCL and written by Allen H. Lerman. Lerman served for 42 years as an economist with the United States Treasury Department and conducted this research to determine how a dividend return to American households could work.

Join Dr. Danny Richter, CCL's Vice President of Government Affairs in exploring the detailed how's and why's of CCL's dividend return. The webinar addresses questions about the carbon fund, distribution framework, and the dividend's taxability. It also tackles distribution challenges like handling changing eligibility and getting dividends to as many American residents as possible with maximum transparency and minimum cost.

CC Radio Ep 26 In Deep Water with Edgar Westerhof and Elizabeth Rush

Super Storm Sandy shocked the New York Metropolitan area in 2012. By some freak coincidence, right before this epic storm hit, Edgar Westerhof, moved to New York City from the Netherlands. Not only does he come from a country that knows a lot about flooding, Edgar is an expert in integrated urban water management.

Since Sandy, Edgar has become the National Director for Flood Risk and Resiliency for Arcadis North America. He talks about his experiences with Sandy and how this devastating storm could have been even worse. 

Art House

Author Elizabeth Rush reads from her new book Rising: Dispatches from the New American Shore.
