Effective Climate Conversations: What if the most effective climate leadership begins not with evidence, but with care?
Remarks at a Webinar Hosted by First Things First Okanagan ~ October 2026
What we want to protect touches us all. In this video, I explain why the ethic of care has become central to my approach to climate communication and how this perspective can deepen our own leadership and influence.
A lot of the work that I’m doing now is trying to help people understand that we can actually play from our own strengths and our strengths as humans — as compassionate beings. People who love and are loved turn out to be the most persuasive. That’s an overarching message: If you get into trouble in a climate conversation, just start again, but start from a place of love and compassion and it will probably be fine.
