How to communicate about the environment | Anca Anton | TEDxStockholm University
Have you ever felt like you're not getting through to people when discussing climate change? You present the facts, you share the data, but the conversation goes nowhere. You're left feeling frustrated, and the planet is left without another advocate. What if we've been getting it all wrong? This eye-opening talk argues that we don't have a communication crisis; we have a trust crisis. Our obsession with social media reach and "winning the argument" has failed. The real solution is hidden in plain sight: build trust by understanding who you are, and who it is you are talking with. Learn how to stop talking past one other and how to move from “winning arguments” to winning partners for the planet. Anca Anton is a PR lecturer at the University of Bucharest.
