Weathering Together: Resilience as a Vehicle to Reshape and Reimagine Policy, Political Will and the Public by the Praxis Project

Abstract

There’s an old adage: “Everyone talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” Activists today are proving it wrong by breaking through millennia of long held beliefs about our powerlessness and helping people connect the dots between human/corporate behavior and climate change. As the public warms up to the notion of climate change resulting from human drivers, there is an opportunity to advance frames of collective responsibility, agency and interconnectedness. These frames can be advanced as part of a sensible approach to building communities able to effectively navigate the challenges ahead.
