Emotional Skills for Saving the Planet
What will it take to imagine, desire, and thrive in a climate-changed world? We already have the technological, scientific, and economic tools to address the climate crisis, but what emotional resources are needed to put those tools into action? How can we live our best lives and bring our best selves to climate justice, in the face of so much degradation and suffering? In this talk, Dr. Sarah Jaquette Ray will explore these questions drawing on her book, A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety: How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet. The book brings together the social movement theory, environmental justice, climate psychology, and mindfulness to outline strategies for engaging anxiety, grief, despair, but also joy, desire, and pleasure in service of climate justice. Ray will talk about why it’s so important for all of us, and for the planet, that we find the resolve and courage to engage for the long haul.
