The Importance of Communication in Movement Building and Systems Change

Strategic Communications for Planetary Health

From polluted air to species extinctions, it’s well known: we are being deeply affected worldwide by environmental changes and crises which are heavily influenced by human activity. Yet overwhelming evidence is somehow failing to spur implementation of the policy and values transformations we need to safeguard health.

In an upcoming webinar, Dr. Jennifer Cole (Co-Director of the CLIMAR Network and a member of the Planetary Health Roadmap Education Working Group) interviews Andrea Hartley, Founder and CEO of Skating Panda, a global impact consultancy that is catalyzing communications about planetary challenges such as Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in order to influence actionable messaging.

They’ll explore:

• How Skating Panda has helped the UK’s Special Envoy on AMR (Professor Dame Sally Davies) translate complex science
• Practical strategies from the CLIMAR project, linking Antimicrobial Resistance with climate change through a Planetary Health lens
• Why engaging communications professionals early dramatically increases your impact
• Real-world examples of successful Planetary Health communications that drive action

Perfect for: Researchers, educators, clinicians, policymakers, students, and anyone interested in making their Planetary Health work more influential and accessible.
