A key belief of some about the climate crisis is that it’s an imagination crisis and a storytelling crisis. Too often we've been told that what it requires of us is austerity, renunciation, sacrifice. But it requires building a better world, being rich in ways that are often not acknowledged: in stability, confidence in the future, a more equal world when fossil fuel oligarchs and mega-corporations are things of the past. What are some ways you can imagine the world getting better if we do what the climate needs from us? For example, some of the challenging emotions we feel about the climate come from commonly held frameworks about how change works, where power resides, what possibility looks like. The future is not inevitable. It will come into being as a result of the decisions we make now.
