Climate Chapter
Coincident with the United Nations 26th climate change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in 2021, we created the IPRA climate change chapter.
IPRA thematic chapters are a way of bringing members together to focus on an issue of global interest and adding value to that issue by exploring the relevant communication aspects.
Objectives
- To further knowledge and expertise among IPRA members, enabling them to play a valuable part in furthering communications aspects of climate change in line with UN sustainable development goal 13.
- To facilitate dialogue and best-practice exchange between IPRA members on communications aspects of climate change.
- To create communication materials for IPRA members and non-members on communications aspects of climate change.
- To promote entries to the Golden World Awards Climate Change category.
For information on how to participate please contact the IPRA Secretariat using our contact form here.
