Local Voices, Global Impact: Municipal Governments Leading Climate Conversations

City and county governments have long been at the forefront of climate action, advancing bold policies and engaging communities despite inconsistent federal leadership. Yet, climate communication has not always been a priority for local staff stretched thin by tight budgets. That is starting to change. Increasingly, local government leaders recognize that climate communication is a vital climate strategy. How do they listen to their communities? How do they frame climate action to resonate across diverse communities? How can behavior change campaigns scale the impact? What strategies help them turn constituent feedback into tangible progress? Join the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication (YPCCC) for a discussion on the critical role of local leadership in driving climate communication from the ground up.

This event is sponsored by the Yale Center for Environmental Communication, the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, and the Yale School of the Environment.
