Bgen and PlantNetwork would like to invite you to participate in an online training course delivered by the Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS). They will explain the science and policy of climate science and provide you with the tools and techniques needed to communicate climate change and climate science within your gardens. This half-day online information event is aimed at anyone working with schools or responsible for community outreach, adult education and visitor engagement which involves climate change discussion.
A key challenge for all gardens is the effects of climate change. Knowing what it is, how it might impact us and how we can tell our garden visitors more about it will only become more critical in the next few years. This course will cover:
- The science behind climate change
- How our climate has changed so far
- The connection between climate and weather
- Impacts of climate change now and in the future
- Current climate policy and outcomes of COP26
- The pitfalls of climate change communication
- Trusted resources and access to experts
- Jargon associated with climate change
The aim is to make those working in gardens, particularly those involved in education and engagement, more confident when talking about climate change.
Join us in March for this insightful event!
