And yes we doubled down on the post from yesterday....so read on!! #climateaction

Her message? Climate is about systems and souls. Storytelling matters. Justice isn’t optional...it’s the work.

🛠️ “Don’t wait for hope. Just commit -- imperfectly, persistently, together.”

👉 “I don’t think you can solve a problem that you don’t understand.”

That clarity set the tone. She reminds us that climate change is not just about carbon. It's rooted in systems of colonialism, racism, and exploitation.

A few powerful takeaways from her talk:

💔 “Broken people don’t fix things. Healing is part of the work.”

What does it mean to truly center justice in climate work?

We had the privilege of opening Terra.do’s Ibex Learning for Action cohort with a powerful keynote by @maryannaise.bsky.social, an amazing writer, storyteller, and truth-teller on the intersections of climate, grief, and justice.

Being a Climate Person Isn’t All About Hope or Feeling Great All the Time Our Conversation With Writer and Terra.do Keynote Guest Mary Annaïse Heglar

We recently gave our ol' blog a bit of an overhaul, which has been an excuse to revisit some bangers from our archive. @maryannaise.bsky.social has thoughts on hope, grief, and committing to climate action.

Climate Adaptation Matters. It's Also Not Enough On Its Own. Adaptation is vital, but without cutting emissions, it’s also insufficient. Here’s how we’ve been rethinking its place in our climate course.

We recently updated our climate course's adaptation class. Adaptation does nothing to stop the planet from getting hotter, and it's sometimes used as cover to slow-walk climate action. Yet it's critical for addressing painful climate impacts that are already here:

Hi, yes! And we know some other people who might be interested as well...

Analysis: Clean energy just put China’s CO2 emissions into reverse for first time - Carbon Brief For the first time, the growth in China’s clean power generation has caused the nation’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to fall despite rapid power demand growth.

Welp, time to update our class on energy...

Systems thinking! Does an idea solve a problem, or merely shift it, and onto whom? Without this, many solutions overlook opportunities for climate justice and multisolving—and risk opening up playgrounds for greenwashing and grift.

Alt text: 1. A person taking a rollercoaster ride, starting at the ticket booth asking "Am I too late? What can I do?" 2. Next as the rollercoaster climbs they ask, "How bad is it...?" 3. As the ride then plunges they raise their arms: "Climate change is scary!" 4. The ride then evens out and they say "Phew! Having others here helps." 5. High-fiving someone, they then say, "There are so many ways to take on this problem." 6. Finally, over a bright background, they say "We have work to do!" Art by Nicole Kelner.

An emotional rollercoaster. That's what people say it's like to spend 12 weeks learning about climate change, its impacts, and solution areas like renewables, climate comms, & adaptation. Big thanks to alum @nicolekelner.bsky.social for illustrating this ride! Details: www.terra.do/blog/the-emo...
