Talking Climate in everyday Chats

Talking about climate change with our family and friends has the potential to “spark” a change and add another voice for social change. But it is not always easy to talk to people about our climate convictions, nor to inspire behaviour change. The EU DEAR project SPARK! has researched effective ways to do so, collected in their ”Talking Climate” handbook.

DEAR Legacy Exchange Hub - Findings

DEAR Hubs are regular peer-learning events for EU DEAR Projects. The Legacy Hub in Brussels focused on what projects leave behind after completion. This resource collects key takeaways, including about Story-telling and the Engagement Pyramid. It addresses four types of legacy: 1) Campaign legacy, 2) Individual and group change, 3) Policy change and 4) Knowledge production. To learn more, download and read the full report.

Climate Diaries: a visual inclusive tool

"Climate of Change" asked participants in Cambodia, Guatemala, Kenya and Senegal to share photos and perceptions of the climate crisis in a WhatsApp group. This is an inclusive and accessible tool, which fostered visual creativity. They showed the impact of climate on their lives and livelihoods. The Climate Diaries resource includes case studies, definitions of key terms and a detailed activity description.

How to Mobilise Young Feminists for Climate Justice

The guide provides tips and strategies for climate justice activism and advocacy to influence decision-makers. The programme includes activities to help young people identify the approach that best suits them, based on self-discovery, security concerns, personal values, relations to the world and identity. A key premise is that gender and other identities shape how, especially young people, understand and experience climate crises.
