EcoForum is run by the United Nations Association Coventry Branch. Visit https://unacov.uk/ for more information about us.

The United Nations believes that a healthy environment plays a key role in meeting many of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. With a little over 10 years left to meet the target date of 2030, the world will need to pick up the pace and put greater efforts in finding better solutions to pollution, climate change and biodiversity loss in order to truly transform societies and economies.

Here are a few tips to help you create great discussions:

• Make the discussion title or question as descriptive as possible. A good discussion title is a short preview of your post and is what gets people to click and read.
• Put your discussion in the right category. The right category can be the one that has a relevant category name or it can be a category where this kind of post is often made.
• If you want responses, ask for them. In marketing this is called a ‘call to action’. If you want others to comment, you can encourage them by asking them to do so.
• Mention others. Credit other members if you are building off their previous comments or if you want to draw them into the discussion. Put the @ before a username to mention someone.
• Take ownership. Most important of all, take ownership of the discussions that you have created. Respond to comments promptly and thoughtfully. Thank others for commenting on your discussion and help with moderation if things get heated.
• Add an image. Images add visual interest and make your post look great when shared to social networks. You can embed an image using the button bar or you can upload one from your desktop or phone.
• Use tags. Tags are helpful for others to find keyword related posts. It also helps the site admins get a sense for what topics are popular. You add tags when you create a post. You can add up to five tags for each post.

Thanks for posting! Have fun!
