Abstract
More frequent, effective climate conversations initiated by a diversity of trusted voices can help to increase climate concern and desire for action at the community level. However, in the United States, there is a disconnect between the level of concern individuals have about climate change and the extent to which individuals talk about the issue. To help bridge this gap, the University of Minnesota Climate Adaptation Partnership developed a training program aimed at inspiring and equipping local community members across Greater Minnesota with the skills and confidence to have effective conversations about climate change in their communities. This paper summarizes the programmatic activities we used to support our goals, and some reflections on the program's results. This pilot program provides a framework for future efforts that can be facilitated by Extension programs, community-based organizations, universities, and others to inspire and accelerate similar community-centered climate conversations. The data included herein are from a survey distributed to program participants at the beginning and end of the program. The survey includes questions related to participants' perceptions of climate change, confidence in communicating about climate change, and satisfaction with the program. Data are both qualitative (short answer and multiple choice), and quantitative.
Description
Data are stored in a Microsoft Excel workbook. The first sheet includes the results of the entrance survey in qualitative form, i.e., multiple choice answers, and the second sheet includes the results of the entrance survey in quantitative form, i.e. multiple choice answers 1-5. The third and fourth sheets include the results from the exit survey. Each row in each sheet contains the responses from one person, and each column in each sheet is one question. All identifying information has been removed.
