Why We Need Climate Hope

Radical climate hope, explained.

"In this video essay, I look at why we need radical climate hope and optimism. Specifically, I look at the roots of doomerism and anxiety and offer up radical climate hope as an alternative. To be clear this is not the pie-in-the-sky hope that ignores systems of oppression and waits around for savior technologies to deliver us from climate chaos. No. This is a hope that envisions a liberated world where climate action is taken seriously and intertwines with other movements for justice. Radical revolutionary climate hope requires us to understand the systems of oppression that surround us and then in defiance imagine and create a better world." - Our Changing Climate
