Teaching About Climate and Energy in Communities That Might Not Want to Hear it Climate change can be a challenging topic for some people to accept and understand. But there are many pathways to overcome potential obstacles, particularly because climate science and climate solutions span so many different perspectives. Tailoring the classroom approach to suit one’s audience is an especially important strategy. This webinar will offer teaching ideas that are collaborative, solutions-oriented, and can appeal to people from varied worldviews. Presenter: Karin Kirk, Geologist and Science Writer. Webinar: 25 min, followed by 15 min of questions and discussion. Do you have a challenge you’d like to help resolve? We welcome your questions!
