Online Workshop Recording: Wildfires & Air Quality - Providing a Relevant Portal to Get Audiences Invested in the Conversation

Online workshop recording about engaging audiences of all ages in Earth and climate science through activities that take a closer look at the scientific and societal impacts of wildfires.

DESCRIPTION

This workshop was recorded on 4-30-24

During this online workshop, we heard from partners engaging audiences of all ages in Earth and climate science through activities that take a closer look at the scientific and societal impacts of wildfires. Partners shared how they've used resources from the NISE Network, NASA, and others to demonstrate the connection between global issues of climate and evolving fire seasons. We also discussed strategies for making content relevant and approachable by creating a safe space for important conversations around climate resilience to transpire, and how to increase interest in your community and empower the public to take action.
