Inclusive language in the environmental movement
Share This Handbook
In our collective journey towards addressing the urgent challenges of climate change and safeguarding the environment for future generations, the significance of language cannot be overstated. Language shapes our perceptions, influences our actions, and reflects our values. It is not merely a tool of communication but a powerful instrument for fostering understanding, empathy, and inclusivity.
This handbook covers a wide range of topics, including:
-
The impact of language on perceptions of climate change
-
How can you overcome barriers to inclusive language
-
How to ensure inclusive (intercultural) communication
