What’s unique about Climate Shift?

Climate Shift is rooted in the belief that exploring what we feel about our lives in the context of a warming world can help foster the resilience to take positive action – a position that climate psychology research increasingly supports [1]

Climate Shift…

…does not assume deep knowledge about climate change, focusing instead on what we already know and experience in our daily lives.

… actively and joyfully links nature and creativity to discover keys that free us from guilt, shame, and judgment – emotions often elicited by traditional climate activism – while also finding the agency to take meaningful personal action.

…takes a holistic approach to climate action, recognizing the interconnectedness of our feelings, our values, and our lived experience.

… promotes wellbeing by encouraging participants to incorporate climate-positive practices into their daily lives, fostering a sense of responsibility and empowerment in the context of a warming world.
