## Program topic
This webinar, hosted by Climate Action Now, should provide practical, actionable advice for climate educators. We believe these insights will help us to sharpen our messaging when engaging with community leaders, media, elected officials, and the public.
We look forward to discussing with you how we can apply these tools to our outreach efforts.
For those unable to attend or wishing later access to the recorded webinar, register at the Talking Climate in the Age of Disinformation! Action Party event page.
Next month, Bill Hurley will continue the discussion of this crucial topic, particularly his strategies for communicating with audiences resistant to the concept of climate change.
