Time for clarity about climate change

The Academies welcome new instructor, author Erin Lebacqz, delivering Writing Clearly About Climate Change and the Environment.* Climate is one of the most important global issues and that makes communicating clearly about it  so important.

“I believe we can make a difference in our society through plain and clear writing,” says Erin Lebacqz, who is passionate about this topic

In the course you’ll learn strategies for writing clearly about topics like the environment, energy, and climate change by digging deep into both the meaning and potential implication of words. You’ll learn to manage meaning by presenting information in ways your readers can understand and use. It will also help you empower readers.

Find out more about Erin and her new book at High Value Writing.
*Course starts March 7. Fee is in USD.


Watch for our upcoming live chats on LInkedIn and YouTube.
