SUMMARY:First Conference on Transitioning Away From Fossil Fuels
DESCRIPTION:“To help journalists understand the Santa Marta conference and how they might go about covering it [in person or remotely]\, CCNow hosted a webinar on April 15. Panelists included key Colombian and Dutch diplomats who are organizing the conference and The Guardian’s Jonathan Watts. CCNow’s executive director and co-founder\, Mark Hertsgaard\, moderated. CCNow’s Hertsgaard and Elena González will also be in Santa Marta to support journalists with their coverage; please contact them via editors@coveringclimatenow.org. \n“The First Conference on Transitioning Away From Fossil Fuels\, taking place April 24–29 in Santa Marta\, Colombia\, will begin drafting a global ‘roadmap’ to phase out fossil fuels. Petrostates used UN consensus rules to veto that idea last November at COP30. But as CCNow pointed out in an article published this week\, the Santa Marta conference will not be governed by UN rules. What’s more\, the 85-plus countries that favored a roadmap at COP30 collectively amount to the biggest economic superpower on Earth. If they can outline a credible roadmap for withdrawing their immense buying power from fossil fuels\, it could echo the effect of the 2015 Paris Agreement\, causing governments and private investors alike to follow suit for fear their fossil fuel investments will become stranded assets.

SUMMARY:RE:SciComm
DESCRIPTION:“Whether you’re behind the mic\, in front of a classroom\, or crafting stories for the screen\, RE:SciComm is the place to build your skills\, grow your network\, and join the national conversation on science engagement and communication. \n“In an era shaped by climate change\, public health crises\, and rapid advances in AI\, the need for effective science communication has never been clearer. Science impacts all of us — but how we talk about it\, and who gets heard\, matters more than ever. RE:SciComm will dive into the challenges and opportunities of today’s engagement landscape\, from tackling misinformation to reaching communities historically excluded from science conversations.” \nCo-hosted in Toronto\, Ontario\, by the Royal Canadian Institute for Science (RCIScience) and SciXchange at Toronto Metropolitan University.

SUMMARY:Building Trust in Science: A One-Day Conference for a More Informed Future
DESCRIPTION:“Building Trust in Science: A One-Day Conference for a More Informed Future\, a collaboration between the Aspen Institute Science & Society Program and the MIT Press\, aims to bridge the gap between decades of research in neuroscience and social science about how humans process and understand information\, and the vulnerabilities to misinformation and propaganda we endure when we fail to leverage this knowledge in communicating science\, especially in the age of generative AI. \n“This conference\, planned for March 10\, 2025 in Boston\, at MIT in Cambridge\, MA\, will be ideal for science communicators\, journalists\, researchers\, students\, policymakers\, and anyone interested in mobilizing knowledge for a better world. This conference will explore how journalists\, science communicators\, researchers\, and policymakers can utilize knowledge about human learning to empower diverse groups to make informed decisions in a complex world; combat disinformation and build trust in science and scientists; amplify voices and perspectives historically marginalized by science and journalism; and craft impactful messaging that fosters active and engaged communities where science is a cornerstone.”
