How do our listeners stay positive on climate?

This week we hear from listeners about the ways they cope and how they remain positive on climate change. From being involved in a like-minded community, to taking action in everyday ways. Or just knowing that the brightest minds are pushing innovative climate solutions forward every day.

In a wave of negative climate news, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and uncertain about the future. Climate change is a real threat, and it’s normal to experience worry, but there are reasons to be positive. We hear from a psychologist about how ‘climate anxiety’ is a normal response to the uncertainty around us and from a Libyan climate activist about what motivates her, despite experiencing climate devastation in her own country.

Presenters Jordan Dunbar and Graihagh Jackson are joined by;

Susan Clayton, Professor of Psychology at The College of Wooster, USA.
Nissa Bek ,climate activist and the founder of Project Mulan, Libya

With thanks to listeners: Ben, Tim, Sarah, Brian, Michael, Tony, Sean and Solomon
