As the climate crises deepens, communities desperately need better tools to overcome divisiveness, apathy and other forces that frequently inhibit solutions. It is especially critical for all of us to understand and act on behalf of communities suffering disproportionate impacts of climate change that are least able to respond. In this Episode, Abel Gustafson Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati, Department of Communication, along with Thaddeus Popovich, co-founder of Allegheny County Clean Air Now, will come together to discuss how climate storytelling through personal narrative can help unify people from different backgrounds around climate solutions.
