America's Climate Choices Webinar Series
UCS is excited to announce a series of webinar briefings on the National Research Council reports, America's Climate Choices (ACC). Authors from the four panel reports will present the key findings from each and then answer your questions. ACC is a congressionally requested suite of studies to inform and guide the nation's response to climate change. The findings reaffirm the strength of the science of climate change and represent guiding documents on the urgent need to reduce global warming emissions and prepare for the changes to come.
Webinar Series: Climate Change Science and Policy
The Sound Science Initiative is hosting a series of webinars to help busy scientists like you contribute effectively and strategically at this critical time. The Union of Concerned Scientists has developed resources to educate the public and policy makers, which we will share during the webinar. Topics include "The Latest Climate Science," "Tropical Deforestation: International and Domestic Solutions," and "Climate Policy: The State of Play in U.S. Congress"
Tips and Tools
SSI has put together a series of tips and tools to help scientists bridge the gap with the media and with policy makers based on the Union of Concerned Scientists' extensive experience working with scientists, policy makers, and the media to ensure that rigorous scientific analysis is included in important public policy debates and covered effectively in the press.
