What are your climate skills? Find out Monday, Oct. 20th!
We have a lot of climate skills that are useful everywhere. We can listen, raise issues, insist, make connections, start groups, show caring, make art, and much more. This talk will explore why focusing on climate skills can be more useful than focusing on danger or failure and how using those skills in what we are already doing can lead to meaningful climate action and institutional change. Dr. Chislenko learned climate organizing with the youth organization The Sunrise Movement and is co-founder and steering committee chair of Philosophers for Sustainability, an international organization dedicated to shifting educational institutions and the world toward sustainable practices. He has written on moral motivation, blame, and the role of academics in climate change.
