RESIST CoP webinar: Communicating Climate Change to Citizens

Online

This RESIST webinar invites the Community of Practice to focus on the topic of communicating climate change adaptation effectively to citizens. The aim is to present concrete solutions and good practices that show how different regions and projects are reaching diverse groups of citizens. Through case studies and available tools, participants will learn what strategies and formats have worked, what barriers remain, and how communication can be adapted to different audiences. The session will not only feature expert presentations but also interactive group discussions, offering participants the opportunity to exchange their own experiences and challenges in engaging citizens in climate adaptation processes.
