This course focuses on communicating blue carbon science and practice clearly and responsibly to different audiences. You can expect to explore framing, messaging, and practical communication techniques for policy, technical, and public contexts. The final structure and examples are subject to development.
Coming soon
This free course will be available through the Blue Carbon Kenya Hub, a national learning and resource centre on blue carbon. The Hub brings together training, data, and storytelling on the value of coastal ecosystems like mangroves and seagrasses, and is designed for practitioners, county and national officers, researchers, students, community groups, NGOs and private sector actors.
The Blue Carbon Kenya Hub is a key deliverable of the Blue Carbon component of the Strengthening Sustainable Blue Food Systems (SBFS) in Coastal Kenya programme (2025–2028). This programme supports Kenyan institutions led by KMFRI and partners to strengthen sustainable blue food systems in the Shimoni-Vanga region. It aims to enhance fisheries, mariculture, blue carbon conservation and equitable coastal development, and inform marine spatial planning.
The Hub is purpose-built to outlive the programme as a long-term national platform for learning, practice and knowledge exchange. Blue Carbon Kenya Hub website coming soon: https://bckhub.kmfri.go.ke
Instructor
I am driven by the belief that good communication does more than inform. It builds connection, inspires trust and invites change. Over the past two decades at GRID-Arendal, I have worked across projects, platforms and disciplines to help translate environmental knowledge into tools people can understand, feel and use. Whether through video, design, facilitation or strategy, I help teams communicate with purpose. I believe that creativity should serve clarity, and that even the most technical ideas deserve a human voice.
