These are tough times for talking about climate change. At the political level, the issue has become more polarized, and in everyday life, people are overwhelmed by immediate concerns like affordability and security. In this context, it can be hard to know how or even whether to bring up climate change at all.
In this session delivered by Ghadah Alrasheed, Resource and Training Director at Re.Climate, we’ll explore how parents can talk to other parents, schools, elected officials, and their communities about why climate change matters to their kids’ well-being and future. Parents don’t need a science degree or policy background. Their power comes from their lived experiences, their roles as caregivers, and their voice as concerned citizens/voters. We’ll look at how parents can use that power to shift attitudes and inspire action.
The session draws on findings from Canadian public opinion research, media analysis, and insights from communication, tested narratives and psychology research. Our focus will be on tools parents can use to tell their stories, build trust, and connect with others.
