Change the climate – change the dialogue symposium
Save the date: 25 October 2024
The acceptance and adoption of new geo-technological advances for cleaner energy production and the mitigation of increased risk from climate extremes, relies on effective engagement, communication and relationship building between diverse stakeholders. Mass media communication also plays a strong role in shaping public perception and opinion, steering policy decision making.
This one-day, hybrid international symposium at the University of Twente aims to build new cross-sector and cross-discipline relationships, bringing together media professionals, scientists, communication specialists, engineers, social scientists, students, policy makers, artists, industry, community groups and citizen scientists. Through knowledge sharing and ideas on effective communication and engagement strategies and practices we will explore holistic geo-techno-social approaches for climate solutions.
