What makes a good speech? Better yet, what makes an effective speech?

A speech can inform, entertain, educate. But effective speeches inspire an audience to act and build a sense of community. The climate crisis is a pressing issue, and the ability to successfully communicate about it is crucial to bring people together to make meaningful change.

Discover how to stand up, speak your mind, and encourage your audience past climate silence. By analyzing speeches and how they worked, social anthropologist and professional speechwriter Rune Kier Nielsen breaks down nine common flaws of climate rhetoric and how to fix them in this thorough, engaging guide to speechwriting toward climate action.
