About this listen
A toolkit for understanding our emotional responses to climate change and how we can have meaningful conversations across dividing lines.
Why is it so hard to talk about climate change? While scientists double down on the shocking figures, we still find ourselves unable to discuss climate change meaningfully among friends and neighbours - or even to grapple with it ourselves. The key to progress on climate change is in the psychology of human attitudes and our ability to change. Whether you're already alarmed and engaged with the issue, concerned but disengaged, a passive sceptic or an active denier, understanding our emotional reactions to climate change - why it makes us anxious, fearful, angry or detached - is critical to coping on an individual level and convincing each other to act.
This audio is about understanding why people who aren't like you feel the way they do and learning to talk to them effectively. What we need are thousands - millions - of everyday conversations about the climate to enlarge the ranks of the concerned, engage the disengaged and persuade the cautious of the need for action.

Engaging and well researched
Excellent. Well written, meticulously researched and thoroughly engaging throughout. There are some genuinely helpful approaches suggested and the selection of research presented offers valuable insight into how the human mind grapples with this most critical issue.
