In this episode, we're beginning the first part of an exciting two-part interview with a special guest, Will Hackman, a climate conversation and policy expert. Will's work focuses on helping people understand and discuss complex climate change issues in a way that feels personally relevant. 

Our conversation touches on the need to reframe climate change as a humanity crisis rather than just an environmental one. We also discuss the importance of issue identification, rejecting disempowering "world burning" narratives, and using messages that resonate with people's everyday lives to bridge the gap with those who may not see climate change as a serious threat.

A few takeaways you will get from this episode:

• How to make climate change a more personal and relatable approach
• How to shift the narrative from a climate crisis to a humanity crisis
• How important it is to achieve issue identification in climate advocacy
• How to start climate action at home

Our favourite quote:

"The Earth doesn't care whether or not we are saved, we are trying to save ourselves." - Will Hackman
