RESOURCES: HOW TO TALK ABOUT THE CLIMATE CRISIS

We recognise that parent and carers need support to talk about the climate crisis. We can’t fix something that we aren’t even talking about or feel too nervous to bring up.

 

Let's talk about it

We talk to people all day long – family members, parents at the school gates, colleagues, and strangers. Finding way to skilfully integrate manageable and robust references to the climate crisis is a vital way to contribute to the shift in consciousness we need to encourage mass engagement. Talking about it also helps to avoid feeling like we live in two realities, and the dissonance and distress that can be caused by that.

But did you know, in the UK 57% of us talk about climate with friends and family infrequently, rarely, or never?

WHY IS TALKING ABOUT THE CLIMATE CRISIS SO IMPORTANT

What can we do

Whatever the reason, the silence around climate change matters. And we can change it.

We partner with Larger Us to roll out Let’s Talk Climate training. Our next round starts this Spring. Register your interest now to find out more about this free training. [Registration coming soon]

In case you need a little encouragement, here’s a great blog post on why we need to break the silence on the climate crisis
