Municipal Leadership in Renewable Energy: Communicating Challenging Topics Webinar
Mar. 17, 2020 1:30pm MST Alberta webinar - Public event
We have heard from participants in our Municipal Leadership in Renewable Energy program that one of the most challenging parts of embracing the energy transition is facilitating social and cultural buy-in. Whether it’s getting the support from constituents, residents, decision makers or colleagues, social resistance can be a major barrier to demonstrating leadership in the energy transition.
In this webinar we will help you discover, understand and implement language around climate and energy in Alberta that is depolarizing, inclusive and non-combative. We will provide an overview of the methodology and results of the Alberta Narratives Project, which will provide examples of key language and methods to establish shared values, show appreciation for all parties involved and move towards a future that benefits everyone involved.
