Guterres' climate apology

Does a climate apology to your loved ones feel like an exaggerated, guilt-inducing stunt? UN President Antonio Guterres has used it as a tool to strengthen his resolve to fight for climate justice. This moment of compassion focuses our attention on our individual capacity and responsibility as loved ones, professionals, citizens and consumers to contribute to global mitigation efforts. If enough of us do so, we've got this.

Student feedback on the climate apology workshop

The climate apology aims to contribute to long-term mindset change, recognised in the IPCC and UN climate reports as essential to addressing the climate crisis. Changing attitudes is highly complex, requiring a range of tools and interventions that can be repeated over time. Clearly, a single workshop can’t achieve this. However, the feedback from high school students shows the potential of the climate apology as a tool worth trying in a workshop setting and exploring as a public awareness campaign.

Gotta Have Faith

That famous couplet, If not me, then who? And if not now, then when? captures the faith required to act as climate mitigators.
