ICYMI ⤵️ What is David Attenborough’s legacy on climate communication as he turned 100? In an article in @theconversation.com, DSPI’s Dr @chlobrim.bsky.social explores how David Attenborough's work has helped shape real policy discussions and changes around climate change.

Commenting on her work, Dr Steele said: “Sexual violence is detrimental to health, well-being, educational and economic outcomes, yet most incidents are never reported to law enforcement. This means prevention and response cannot depend on the criminal justice system alone."

“Attenborough may have been late in communicating specifically on climate change. But, in recent years he has changed to being a strong advocate. Now, it’s time to make sure that message is heard and acted upon so that the world’s wonders remain for many generations to come.”
