How can communications professionals, policymakers, and academic experts effectively communicate environmental and health issues in a skeptical era? In the first of two panels, communications directors from U.S. and UN agencies and environmental and health NGOs discussed the relationships and negotiations that underlie action (or inaction) in a major policy-making capital like Washington, D.C.
