Creating Waves of Change: CEC’s Climate Stewards Talk Local Action & Impact
About this Webinar
In this webinar, a few of our Certified Climate Stewards share how they are applying what they learned in the certification course and working on impactful community projects like:
Integrating climate justice into communications and advocacy at Planned Parenthood Central Coast
Joining a local cruise ship regulation advocacy group
Reintroducing beavers to their natural Santa Barbara habitats
Advising UC Santa Barbara students on how to channel climate anxiety into action
We also share how you can become a Climate Steward and contribute to climate solutions in your community.
With the increase in catastrophic climate events, we must expand the number of community members who take an active role in reversing the impacts of climate change. CEC is proud to be the first and only nonprofit on the Central Coast to deliver the Climate Stewards certification program. In this eight-week course, participants gain access to climate action resources and opportunities to join the movement – and will graduate with a better understanding of the psychology and science behind climate change, the tools necessary to forge greater community connections, and the knowledge to effectively communicate the climate crisis. Learn more and apply.
