Inter-Narratives: When climate communication works (and when it doesn’t)

Suzanne joins three other specialists with unique takes on what makes for powerful, effective climate communication - and why - this conversation will explore lessons learned from campaigns, case studies of climate communication that have really landed, and examples that really haven’t.

Chaired by Adam Corner (Climate Barometer), the panelists will rummage around in the climate comms back catalogue (which by now stretches over more than two decades), and shine a light on the most exciting and challenging campaigns around right now.

Are we learning from our mistakes? What’s the next frontier for campaigns to navigate in terms of communication and public engagement? What aren't we getting right yet?

Silbersalz Festival - The nexus between environmental and social justice

Problems like poverty and racism are directly related to environmental issues. What does this mean and how to take action?

Every drought, every flood has consequences for the local population: economic, political and social problems emerge or worsen. Therefore, it is necessary for scientists from different fields to exchange ideas and find solutions together. Suzanne Dhaliwal joins the discussion with Prof. Saleemul Huq and Dr. Kira Vinke, moderated by Fritz Habekuß.

Abandon Normal Devices Festival: Resurface Talks

The cultural shift required to address the climate crisis calls on the cultural sector to look closely at the sites of ecocide globally, to understand the relationship between white supremacy, colonialism and ecological degradation. Frontline communities resisting extraction have been at the forefront of challenging the current rate of exploitation and exposing the absence of monitoring and restoration of vital ecosystems that have brought us to this planetary tipping point. In this talk, Suzanne will explore how the climate crisis intersects with the ongoing colonial exploitation of crucial ecosystems such as the Athabasca Delta in the Canadian Tar Sands to the Niger Delta.
