MSc Science Communication for a Better Planet at University of Bristol

Global climate and biodiversity crises, the COVID-19 pandemic, net zero emissions targets, and moves to restore and rewild the environment have put scientific evidence at the very centre of policymaking, economics and social behaviour. Collaboration towards a better future for our planet depends on political engagement and understanding, public trust, scientific literacy and robust challenges to fake news and the misuse of data. Science communication has never had a more important role to play in empowering people to become agents of positive change at this critical time.
