Impactful climate action is happening “behind the scenes” with the rise of renewable energy and other major systemic changes, yet it can feel as if decades of “doom and gloom” has failed to mobilize in enough numbers, and some have “checked out”.
This workshop will show that the glass is half full in Climate Action and what it mostly needs is inspiration from recipes for success from large social movements across post war North America and Europe.
We will show examples of concrete climate action around us, which work to CHANGE OUR MINDSETS.
Our current zeitgeist revolves around collective action as people are hungry to “do something”, they want to demonstrate agency but don’t know how.
We will show how citizens and consumers respond to prompts, through examples of successful campaigns that have changed our world.
