MORE INFO
Climate Outreach’s Talking Climate workshop is a product of an innovative piece of research that they delivered back in 2019 to understand the grounding principles for having great day-to-day climate change conversations. The workshop is for people who are keen to start constructive conversations about climate change in their own communities. The workshop represents the first serious attempt to provide evidence-based support to people who want to have great everyday conversations about climate change.
At the end of the session participants will be able to:
● Test different ways to normalise climate change into their everyday conversations
● Find new ways to have influence and inspire action within their communities
● Empathise with people struggling to connect with the climate crisis
The aim of the workshop is to:
● Empower participants in having constructive and engaging climate change conversations in a variety of situations in day to day life with different audiences.
● Create a space for learning, feeding back and supporting

Chris’ bio
After completing his PhD, Chris has worked leading research on the social dimensions of plant health and biosecurity, both in the UK and abroad, as well as on urban forestry and the social and cultural values of greenspaces.
The common thread of Chris’ curiosity has always been to better understand the cooperation needed to tackle complex social-environmental problems.
Having travelled the isles of Scotland for research and pleasure, Chris now lives with his family in (slightly less wild) Edinburgh. He is Vice-Chair of the British Ecological Society Scottish Policy Group, building connections between policymakers and ecologists in Scotland.
