    Adapting to a Changing Climate - Dr. Johanna Nalau

    If you’re tired of the doom and gloom surrounding climate change: this episode is a conversation beyond the narrative of fear and towards a vision of hope, community, and environmental balance. We sit down with Dr. Johanna Nalau, a leading adaptation scientist and one of the authors of the IPCC’s 6th Assessment Report. We discuss how climate adaptation isn’t just about our very own survival — it’s about using our imagination to create a thriving future for all of us. It's goes from rethinking our daily decisions to completely re-envisioning a world where nature and humans coexist harmoniously. In this conversation we get to explore the power of positive change.

    Why Are Climate Activists So Disruptive? - Dr. Dana R. Fisher

    In this episode, we sit down with Dana R. Fisher, and discuss the social change we need to address the climate crisis. In this conversation, Tom Janssen, Charlie Collier and Dana R. Fisher discuss the role of activism in addressing the climate crisis, based on her new book "Saving ourselves: From climate shocks to climate action". We talk about the main obstacles for drastic change — fossil fuel interests — and how both individual actions and systemic change are needed to get there.

Both individual actions and systemic change are necessary to combat climate change. Collective action and demanding change from elected officials and market actors are crucial for driving systemic change. There is a debate about what is considered acceptable in terms of more radical activism. The concept of the AnthroShift provides a framework for understanding social change around the environment. Radical tactics, such as nonviolent civil disobedience, are needed to draw attention to the climate crisis and push for social change. Activists use performative acts of protest to shock the public and gain media attention, even if the actions themselves are debated. These radical tactics can draw support from moderate factions of the movement and expand the conversation around climate change. Building community and solidarity is crucial for effective activism, and individuals can get involved in their local communities through various avenues, such as politics, schools, and community gardens. Resilience, both environmental and social, is essential in preparing for and recovering from climate shocks. Storytelling plays a vital role in raising awareness, combating misinformation, and highlighting the efforts of activists and organizations working towards climate action.

    Changing our Climate Behaviour with @TheDailyBA

    A behavioral guide to talking about the climate! In this episode, Tom and Charlie sit down with Ryan O'Donnell from ⁠⁠⁠@TheDailyBA ⁠to discuss how to influence human behavior in the context of climate change. They explore the use of storytelling and metaphors to connect with audiences and induce behavioral change. They also chat about the challenges of reaching people who don't believe in climate change and the importance of early education in shaping attitudes towards the environment. The conversation highlights the need for a data-driven approach to content creation and the importance of understanding individual learning histories and motivations. In this conversation, Tom Janssen and Ryan O'Donnell discuss the behavioral aspects of climate change communication. They explore topics such as anxiety, learning histories, perspective taking, and behavioral economics. They emphasize the importance of understanding human behavior and using evidence-based strategies to effectively communicate climate change. They also discuss the power of storytelling and the need for collaboration and local action. All in all, a great podcast episode to explore the role human behavior can have, when you share your climate messages with the world! Watch on Youtube:⁠⁠⁠ https://www.youtube.com/@creatorsforclimate⁠ Connect on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/creatorsforclimate⁠ Resources: Evidence-based Kernels Paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2526125/ Evidence-based Kernels Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUY4ByZhZZw&ab_channel=TheDailyBA TL;DL Storytelling and metaphors are effective tools for connecting with audiences and inducing behavioral change. Understanding individual learning histories and motivations is crucial in shaping attitudes towards climate change. A data-driven approach can help create content that resonates with audiences and maximizes impact. Early education plays a key role in instilling critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities related to climate change. Reaching people who don't believe in climate change requires targeted messaging and understanding of their psychological distance to the topic. Understanding human behavior is crucial for effective climate change communication. Anxiety can be a barrier to action, but it can also be addressed through values-based work. Learning histories and language play a significant role in shaping our perceptions and reactions to climate change. Behavioral economics offers insights into how people make decisions and can be used to influence behavior change. Framing climate change communication in a collaborative and non-us versus them manner can be more effective. Taking small actions at the local level can have a significant impact on addressing climate change. #climatechange #climateaction #environmental #contentcreator

Environmental content creation is a powerful tool for raising awareness and inspiring action. - Eco-creators should start small, outline their passions, and choose a platform that resonates with them. - Building a community of like-minded creators is essential for support and collaboration. - Creating a portfolio of work, even if it's unpaid or experimental, is a valuable step in establishing oneself as an eco-creator. - The future of eco-creators involves integrating new technologies, such as streaming, AI, and gamification, to engage audiences and drive change. #climatechange #climateaction #environmental #contentcreator

    The Role of Filmmaking in a Changing Climate

    Our very first Creators For Climate podcast episode! To kick off the pod we let you in on the conversation between our two hosts, Tom Janssen and Charlie Collier, discussing the role of filmmakers in climate change, the impact of storytelling, and the importance of local environmental activism. We share personal experiences and insights from our work in the field, highlighting the need for systemic change and getting involved with your local community! Watch the video version on Youtube: ⁠www.youtube.com/@creatorsforclimate⁠ Connect on our Instagram: ⁠www.instagram.com/creatorsforclimate⁠ TL:DL The role of a filmmaker in climate change is to understand the context and approach storytelling in a way that educates and gets people involved. Experiencing environmental issues firsthand transforms understanding and creates a deeper impact than intellectual knowledge alone. Local environmental activism and storytelling have the power to inspire and engage people, creating a sense of purpose and driving systemic change. The mechanisms and systems causing environmental issues on a local level are similar to those on a global scale, emphasizing the interconnectedness of environmental challenges. Collaboration, education, and community engagement are essential for addressing climate change and conservation efforts.
