Energy/Global Warming
This issue working group addresses how to increase public understanding and motivation regarding global warming: its short and long-term implications, and the urgent need to take counter-measures. The move toward an alternative energy future is closely linked not only to global warming and the environment, but also to issues of economic and social justice. In the longer term, individuals, communities, businesses, and governments will need to make changes to adapt to the effects of global warming on climate, water supplies, agriculture, trade, transportation, and many other aspects of human society.
Members of the Energy / Global Warming working group exchange ideas and information about:
- How public opinion regarding these issues is formed and how you think it should be influenced in order to advance progressive views on these issues,
- Marketing and communications strategy related to these issues,
- Barriers to communicating about these issues,
- Coordination needs,
- Resources of which you are aware
If Energy / Global Warming is your primary issue area, you will have
the opportunity to work with other members of your group on specific plans for
promoting global warming awareness and a more sustainable energy future during
the March 2006 Progressive Roundtable convening.
