Live, Laugh, Lower Emissions: Advocacy in the Creator Age

Description:

Climate change isn’t funny, but comedy creators are part of the growing digital movement helping to fight climate change.

Join non-profit Action for the Climate Emergency (ACE) to discuss the novel strategy of using Millennial and Gen Z comedy content creators to educate audiences on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts. We’ll touch on how we use for-profit organic and paid marketing tactics to break down complex climate, clean energy, and civic engagement issues and policies through our campaigns.
