SUMMARY

With so many headlines warning of impending climate doom, it's tempting to think the situation is hopeless and nothing can be done. But if we are going to avoid the worst effects of the changing climate, we need to acknowledge the scale and seriousness of the problem without falling into despair. The scientists, engineers and campaigners that are working on a better future will need to inspire people, not lecture them, and listen to their concerns, not dismiss them.

Join a panel of experts as they discuss the psychology of climate change. What information and stories work to keep people positive about the future, and how can climate professionals discuss their work in public without the 'doom and gloom'?

This event is part of our new series on the climate crisis in partnership with the Grantham Institute.
