From Science to Action: Effective Communications on the Climate Challenge

November 5, 2014, {session_start_time format="%g:%i %a"} - {session_end_time format="%g:%i %a"}

Description

The science is clear—we must act now to hold the global mean temperature rise to less than 2°C above preindustrial levels to avoid unprecedented climate risks to society and business. What is less clear is how to effectively communicate this urgency to business, which in turn communicates with consumers. How can we translate these risks to businesses across industries and consumers to accelerate progress on the global climate challenge? Join this one-hour conversation to learn how BSR and others have contributed to simplifying the complex language of science to empower business and consumers to action.
