About this Event
Most people view climate change as something too big and too complex for individual actions to significantly impact. And so they hope that those with the power to make the difference (government, the UN, science, industry) will somehow resolve the situation.
For young people, the situation could seem even more out of reach, given that some of the resources that adults have (like voting) are not available to them, yet they still somehow try to get those “in power” to act on behalf of their future.
What if this was not the case? What if the power to end the climate crisis didn’t lie with the government or institutions? What if ordinary people through their own actions could produce the radical shift needed to get us on course to a future of sustainability? What if the power to resolve this crisis wasn’t “out there”?
Thre is a signifacnt gap between where we're headed and where we need to be for a suatainable future. Most people have no idea what that gap is, and the difference they can make in actually bridging it.
The power of ordinary people in ending the climate crisis is what will be explored in the Climate Power Workshop. We'll address the current reality, leaving the attendees dealing powerfully with the facts. The 2030 or Bust plan for resolving the crisis will be introduced.
What will also be addressed is the human element of the crisis, the crisis of consciousness. Attendees will examine their own relationship to global warming. From that investigation, a new kind of power becomes available.
With this empowerment comes new ways of thinking and acting, and the participants will design actions that have what they've discovered in the workshop translate into real results. Attendees will leave not only informed but empowered and in action; action that makes the difference in a sustainable future for all of life.
