Michael Shank, PhD, adjunct assistant professor at CGA, highlights the critical need for politicians to prioritize climate change in his recent opinion piece published on The Hill. The article points out that effective communication linking climate action to everyday concerns such as public health can bridge political divides and garner voter support. He outlines three steps for policymakers: develop relatable climate narratives, showcase co-benefits of climate initiatives, and use accessible language. Shank calls for immediate, decisive action to counter the rising influence of far-right parties and ensure sound climate policies are not sidelined for political gain.
