Vulnerable: Climate Change, Identity, and Human life [mini-documentary]
How does climate change influence our identities and human life? In this 15-minute mini-documentary, six young people around the world share their personal stories and drive to make sure others don't experience the same. From studying by the light of an open lamp in Nigeria to months without power in Puerto Rico to the fear of a child's stolen future, these personal stories drive home the impact of the climate crisis on our lives - and draw on our interconnection to inspire hope for change.

The book is now available online in Spanish and English.
Climate Change Communication Research: A Systematic Review
My research team and I conducted a systematic review of climate change communication research over the past 25 years. This post shares our findings and access to the full white paper and conference paper. Our primary findings show that we need immediate, practical research into adaptation and mitigation within local communities. Additionally, we need to make sure we are researching equitably; that all areas of the world are receiving attention.
