This new project is run by the Climate Psychology Alliance on a new dedicated website, https://livingwiththeclimatecrisis.org, where you can view, read and download the new materials free.
At the launch, authors Rosemary Randall, Rebecca Nestor, Daniela Fernandez-Catherall and Andy Brown will introduce the new materials, talk about the thinking behind the project, and answer your questions.
The new materials provide guidance for a series of group meetings which help people respond to the climate crisis, both personally and collectively. They focus on:
- support and understanding
- communication
- finding pathways to carbon reduction and community and political action
The groups provide a space for people to talk, to share, to express what they feel and to reflect. They offer tools, ideas and skills. They emphasise our shared humanity, our interdependence and the need for a collective response. They are rooted in psychological understandings of our distress, of our difficulties in communication and of each person’s need to find a place in a bewildering array of possibilities for action.
This launch event is part of the ongoing support and development that the Climate Psychology Alliance will provide to facilitators who wish to use the materials and run groups.
Living with the climate crisis is intended to replace the old Carbon Conversations project but the old materials will remain available for anyone who still wants to use them and we will shortly be moving them to an archive page on the new website.
Please share and circulate this information to your networks.
