The City of Shoreline is partnering with Washington State University to offer a FREE 7-week climate change education and action series. Join us for all seven weeks in this virtual webinar series or just a few—it’s up to you!

It can be difficult to talk about climate change in ways that are productive, informative, and engaging — but the scale of the challenge in front of us requires that we find a way to do this. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be a guessing game. Learn how to effectively share your message and plan your next steps as a Climate Champion!  After attending this session, you will be able to communicate messages about local climate change impacts and behavior change actions. You'll leave this presentation with a deeper knowledge about how the American public thinks about climate change and how your communications influence thinking, along with concrete tools to facilitate productive conversations about climate change.

Curious how you can play a role in updating the City’s Climate Action Plan and putting what you’ve learned into action? We’ll explore sustainability and climate change related programs and projects planned for 2021-22 and discuss opportunities for residents to get engaged.
