Climate is Culture: The Making of a Movement
Description:
Our culture - what we listen to, watch, eat and wear - is largely driven by marginalized communities. And often, voices from these communities make the most noise to influence social and political change. This is particularly true when it comes to the most pressing issue of our generation, the climate crisis, which disproportionately affects marginalized communities.
Using culture to catalyze followers, these influential voices are using their reach to infuse climate action into daily life and make it integral to who we are.
Uncover the importance of leaning into culture to drive impact, how to be hopeful for the future, and how we can all band together to stave off the worst effects of the climate crisis.
