How to Tell a Climate Story People Care About

Effective climate communication must involve compelling storytelling to earn an audience’s attention, trust, and engagement. In this webinar, we will share strategies that help content break through the noise across digital platforms while getting people to care about climate solutions.
We will be joined by Jacob Simon, an award-winning video creator, who will explain the process and tactics he’s used to successfully build an audience of more than one million people, turn technical topics into accessible and uplifting stories, and drive people to take meaningful action.

Improving Home Energy Upgrades with Insights from Households and the Construction Industry
Tuesday, July 29, 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM ET
Households and construction professionals often think very differently about the many benefits of energy retrofits. For example, while households tend to prioritize benefits like improved indoor comfort and reduced energy bills, the construction industry emphasizes technical aspects and cost considerations. Taking steps to align the interests of both groups can help drive more energy retrofits in the United States and better outcomes for all involved.
Join us for a webinar sharing insights from a new, large-scale survey analysis that identifies substantial differences in how households and construction professionals view energy upgrades. We’ll be joined by three experts to discuss these attitudes and motivations as well as opportunities to use the findings to maximize the benefits of retrofitting U.S. homes and buildings.
