An exciting new set of case studies is helping provide insights into the shared characteristics of quality climate communication and education. In this session, presenters unpack what it means to ‘green communities’ across a breadth of contexts and countries, including an ‘earthship’ style school in Argentina which uses a whole school approach, Indigenous land-based camps in northern Canada which are connecting young people with their land and culture, and a radio station that is using participatory programming to further climate action in one of the poorest regions in India. This session also launched a new video from the Monitoring and Evaluating Climate Communication and Education (MECCE) Project that explores quality greening in education and communication, which can be viewed at youtu.be/8nPkALA1Wts.
