ESSIC / AOSC Professor and CICS Executive Director Fernando Miralles, recently attended the International Sustainable Development Conference held at Columbia University. Miralles participated in a panel discussion focused on the use of social media to improve communication of climate science to policy makers and the general public. Miralles also took part in a post-discussion exercise the combined Q&A videos with brief statements. This content will become the basis for a planned mobile app that’s being developed for the general public. It’s hoped that the app will be available and demonstrated at the Paris United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP21) that will commence in November of this year.
