We already have the tools available to solve the climate crisis, so what’s stopping us taking action? In areas that aren't currently experiencing the full impacts of the climate crisis, people lack awareness of its severity. That’s why careers in climate communication are crucial to motivate people to make real change.

What is it like working in roles in journalism and science communication? How is working on every continent on Earth? Join this panel event for answers and to hear the experiences of those who are actively contributing to these fields, with an opportunity to ask questions toward the end.
