From my vantage point overseeing marketing at\n3Degrees, here are some of the most relevant trends for anyone who plays a role in communicating climate action.\nAN INTERGENERATIONAL AUDIENCE\nClimate change poses many intergenerational challenges. First, there is the question of the responsibility any generation has to those that follow it. The headline-grabbing news about brush fires in Australia,\nhistoric flooding, and record temperatures are a clear indication that our environmental legacy is at risk, and this is not to be taken lightly. \nAnother challenge is that we now have more generations coming together in the workplace as we confront these issues.
