April 9 Webinar - Communicating Climate Solutions
Within the group of Americans Alarmed about climate change, 46% can be categorized as “willing Alarmed” — they are willing to engage in climate action but rarely do. Join us for a conversation with Miriam Remshard, a PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge studying the barriers to effective climate action and how psychological interventions can be used to foster more impactful behavior. Samantha Harrington of Yale Climate Connections will moderate the conversation as well as provide highlights from over ten years of climate solutions coverage. She will also walk us through YCC’s Climate Solutions Hub, a tool that helps people find the actions that work best for their life.
Miriam Remshard is doing her PhD in Psychology at the University of Cambridge funded by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication and the German Academic Scholarship Foundation. She graduated from the University of Oxford with a First-Class Honours degree in Experimental Psychology. Subsequently, she completed her master’s at Yale University, where she focused her research on using qualitative methodologies to study climate change misperceptions. As a PhD Candidate, she is now developing her line of inquiry from her master’s research by exploring barriers to effective climate action and how psychological interventions can be used to foster more impactful behavior.
Samantha Harrington is the Director of Audience Experience at Yale Climate Connections. Sam is a journalist and graphic designer who is specifically interested in sharing how climate change is affecting people, ecosystems and culture across the U.S. Midwest. Previously, she was the global community manager at ISeeChange. After graduating in Journalism and Arab Cultures, she founded Driven Media, a roving newsroom, and she was a regular contributor to Women@Forbes, where she wrote about women in business.
