Welcome

Welcome to IECA, the International Environmental Communication Association. We are a new association, just launched in 2011, but with roots that go back twenty years. From the first Conference on Communication and Environment in 1991 to the Environmental Communication Network to Environmental Communication: A Journal of Nature and Culture, not to mention the many efforts of practitioners, teachers, scholars and other organizations, the field has come a long way. Now, with energy and input from many people around the world, we're moving forward under the IECA banner. Please join us and help shape the next twenty years!

- Mark Meisner, Executive Director

Why Environmental Communication Matters

How well we communicate with each other about nature and environmental affairs will determine how well we address the ecological crisis.

Ecological sustainability requires a shift in views and values towards the natural world, and environmental communication influences how individuals, groups and cultures see, value, and ultimately act in the world.

Environmental communication is also how we advocate for change, raise awareness, collaborate to address environmental issues, change behavior, and pass legislation. Political, economic, and technological initiatives need effective communication to succeed.
