119. Dealing with Climate Grief with Luisa Neubauer

119. Dealing with Climate Grief with Luisa Neubauer

With only 99 months left until 2030, and COP26 in less than 1, time is ticking on 1.5. And young people know it.

So today, a timely and relevant conversation with Climate Activist, and return guest to Outrage + Optimism, Luisa Neubauer. This time, focusing on climate change and its impact on the mental health and outlook on the future of young people everywhere.

The backdrop to the conversation with Luisa are two recently published studies (One from The Lancet, another from Science.org) examining the psychological effect of climate induced anxiety and perceived government inaction on our youth, and their current and future lived experience of the impact of climate change.

We also consider causes for optimism at the other end of the spectrum as The Eartshot Prize has announced its finalists and is featuring a high profile TV series focusing on the regenerative and transformative projects from small community efforts to public policy driven national initiatives.

A just future is possible. What will we choose?

Hit play, join us for the conversation, and stick around for musical guest this week is the one and only Gizmo Varillas!

Christiana + Tom’s book ‘The Future We Choose’ is available now!
