This year has been marked by record-breaking weather and climate extremes. Its relentless heatwaves, uncontrollable wildfires and unprecedented floods are fueling a growing concern for our shared future. However, climate anxiety often leaves us feeling overwhelmed and powerless; paralyzed rather than activated. How can we overcome this impasse to catalyze transformative action? Join Katharine as she discusses how sharing information that not only underscores the imminent risks of inaction but also highlights the potential of attainable, effective solutions can power constructive and collective action.
