We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for Communicating Climate Hope 2024, a two-day distributed/hybrid conference, co-hosted and co-located at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada and Tilburg University (TiU) in the Netherlands, to be held August 15-16, 2024. The Communicating Climate Hope conference will bring together a diversity of experts in climate communication, including those who identify primarily as academic researchers, artists, community organizers, and climate activists. You can see our plenary speakers here and participating artists, activists, and community organizations here. Early bird registration rates are available through June 30; prices will increase on July 1, and registration will close on July 31.
At UBC we will also have a (free!) Pre-Conference Institute on August 14, a day-long interactive institute on climate communication and creativity through music and art, featuring a number of guest speakers with expertise in climate communications from across Canada.
Call for volunteers
We are also looking for student volunteers (undergrads, grad students, and recently graduated students – from UBC and other universities – all welcome) to help out at both the Pre-Conference Institute and the conference itself. Volunteers get free admission ($70 value) and a UBC t-shirt. We have some online-only volunteering positions on August 14, for those who won’t be in Vancouver at the time. We will have a range of tasks to choose from (A/V tech, registration desk, video recording editing/uploading, session moderating). Anyone interested in volunteering can email ubc@climatehope2024.com to sign up.
