Saving Lives: Reframing Climate Change around Health, Wellbeing, and Livelihood

The presentation "Saving Lives: Reframing Climate Change around Health and Livelihood" makes the case for reaching out to conservative audiences so as to widen the political space for the necessary social-economic transition. It takes a critical look at climate change messaging to date, identifies its shortcomings, and, drawing on the cognitive sciences, outlines a human-centerd communication that acknowledges the threats, demonstrates agency and inspires empathy.
