Check your inboxes! Va just sent around a fantastic article about how climate change is covered in the media and where we need to go. If you need a copy, just let me know!
The science tells us that a window of opportunity is about to slam shut on our collective fingers. The head of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change says there are just two years left to negotiate a stronger, fairer global agreement on how to address climate change. Massive shifts in policy and in public behaviour will be necessary to keep greenhouse gas concentrations below a dangerous level and to adapt to the changes that are already inevitable. The media and those it relies on for information will play an increasing role in whether or not a revolution happens and how it plays out if it does.- Shanahan, M. (2007) Talking about a revolution: climate change and the media. An IIED Briefing Development. International Institute for Environment and Development
The good news is that the climate is not the only thing that is changing.
