How Emergent and Change Theories Can Keep Us Grounded in the Polycrisis
Change and emergent theories remind us that transformation happens collectively and over time, helping us stay grounded amidst the overwhelming challenges of the polycrisis. By focusing on systems change, community resilience, and adaptive strategies, we can engage meaningfully in climate action without falling into despair or burnout.
The importance of Climate Cafés and their essential role in this polycrisis
Climate Cafes are a physical or virtual place to gather community members to share experiences and feelings related to this polycrisis. CERI Climate Cafes are influenced by the history of this movement and a deep desire to provide this space for our community during this polycrisis
Why we need a regulated nervous system while doing climate work
