Cascadia Climate Collaborative

“Those working on climate issues and who know the urgency of the crisis face indifference, denial, or even hostility, and often suffer from isolation and burnout. As one parent said, ‘I can’t talk to my child about what I do; it’s too hard.’ The hazard is not just in the physical effects of climate change but the emotional storms that frequently attend our efforts: denial, fear, anger, despair, and grief. In light of this, emotional and personal resilience are indispensable survival equipment in the quest for a livable future.”
