<h4><strong>New Climate Communications Initiative<i><br>
</i></strong></h4>
<p><i>Climate Voices -- Science Speakers Network</i> will be
launched this spring as a new initiative of the University
Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and the United
Nations Foundation. The goal is to bring scientists and their
local communities together for real dialogue on climate
science that speaks to citizens’ current and future well-being
and responsibility as members of a community and democracy.</p>
<p>Materials for context-setting presentations will be offered
as will coaching regarding how to begin conversations about
climate change with fellow citizens. Venues for such
conversations will be local institutions such as service
organizations (Rotary, etc.), faith-based institutions,
chambers of commerce, etc.</p>
<p><b>If you are interested in volunteering for this network,
please go to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://climatevoices.org/" target="_blank">
climatevoices.org</a> and create a profile.</b> Profiles
will “go public” when the full web site is launched in early
April. Once you create a profile, you will be kept up to date
on Climate Voices progress including construction of the full
web site, availability of presentation materials, webinar
coaching, and plans for project launch.</p>
<p>For any questions, please contact: Cindy Schmidt (UCAR), <a
