Welcome

The Environmental Communication Network (ECN) is a community of scholars, professionals and activists concerned with the role of communication in environmental affairs. We call this field "environmental communication" (EC).

The ECN web site aims to be the best place to start when looking for information about environmental communication. Here you'll find resources on a variety of aspects of environmental communication. Use the links at the left of the page to navigate, or check out the site map for more detail about what's here.

The ECN also incorporates the old Conference on Communication and Environment (COCE) web site and expands on it. The ECN mailing list replaces the old COCE-L. However, this is still the place to find out about COCE.

The ECN web site is also home to the web pages of the Environmental Communication Division (ECD) of the National Communication Association.

I hope you find this useful. Please let me know what you think and by all means send me suggestions for updates and changes you would like to see here. Thanks for stopping by.

- Mark Meisner, ECN Founder and Director

Indications: Environmental Communication & Culture Blog Feed

Having trouble getting the Indications blog? All WordPress blogs are blocked in China (and possibly other countries). Try accessing Indications here instead. The trick is to add .nyud.net to the URL of any blocked page you want to read. It's a bit tedious, but apparently it works.
