Sense-Making in a Changing World Climate Conversations 2: Big Picture Activism - Morag Gamble speaks with Helena Norberg Hodge
Welcome to this special series of climate conversations recorded during COP26 Climate Conference in Glasgow , November 2021.
In November, while the global climate conference (COP26) was taking place I recorded a series of conversations. I did wish I could have been there to be part of this global connection of movements and activism happening around the meeting of world leaders who are putting their plans on the table to limit climate change to below 1.5. Disappointingly, the Australian PM embarrassed himself with putting fossil fuels ahead of the planet. I decided it didn't make sense for me to fly there, but I still wanted to know what was going on, and share this with you, so each couple of days I checked in with friends who were there.
In this Climate Conversation, author-activist and founder of Local Futures Helena Norberg-Hodge, joins me to explore her perspective of what's going on at the global climate conference.
We begin with an overview of the big picture issues that she sees are not being talked about in Glasgow - issues that are at the heart of the change that needs to happen - what she calls Big Picture Activism, and an understanding of the economic, trade and invisible influences on nature and community.
Helena then describes what she sees we need to do to transition. Join us.
You can find out more about her work, her films, books, resources, papers, guides and conferences at Local Futures website.
Thanks for listening!
