September series: Climate Communication, Public Perception, and Misinformation
Communication is at the forefront of tackling climate change, developing effective adaptation and mitigation strategies, and driving societal change.

To kick off the Fall TripleC @ TripleB series, we will hear from Temple University Assistant Professor of Advertising and Public Relations, Dr. Meghnaa Tallapragada, and FactCheck.org staff writer, Kate Yandell, as they discuss their work and experience in climate communication, public perception, and misinformation. Both speakers will deliver short informal lectures followed by an audience Q & A on this important and timely topic.

Climate, community & conversations is a space for education, engagement, and community building around climate and sustainability challenges. Everyone is welcome to join this conversation, learn about the latest in research and help bring the value of this learning and problem solving out into the community.

This flood of images included illustrations in books, pamphlets, and newspapers; photographs on cards; prints of various kinds; posters and broadsheets; and large scale paintings for theatrical displays.
