Fighting Climate Change with Cities - and Positivity EP04

With the global narrative about climate change being so dark and dismal for so long, it is increasingly difficult to call our citizens to action. But what if we looked at it differently and put a positive spin on the importance of fighting it, as well as finally realizing that cities are the key? Canadian author Chris Turner is the person I know who is most well-versed in sustainability, energy transition and climate change adaptation. We had a passionate talk in Copenhagen about the disconnect between national climate change narratives and the potential of cities, density as a tool, using effective ways to influence behaviour change and finally tackling the most serious issue in human history with positivity.
