How To Be Human In A Warming World | Dr. Kimberly Nicholas

176: We welcome on our Earth Day episode Dr. Kim Nicholas, Associate Professor of Sustainability Science at Lund and author of UNDER THE SKY WE MAKE: How to be Human in a Warming World. We discuss the emotional side of the climate crisis – coping with feelings of fear, and nurturing your passions in becoming the best climate citizen you can be. Kim walks us through the the stages of Climate Acceptance, and we explore the value of community and trust building in the face of increasing environmental uncertainty.
