In this talk, I will explore dimensions of my book 'Creative (Climate) Communications: Productive Pathways for Science, Policy and Society' that was published last Fall. In the book, I posit that conversations about climate change at the science-policy interface and in our lives have remained stuck. The book integrates lessons from social science and humanities research and practices that have sought to more effectively make connections through issues, people and things that everyday citizens care about.
