My TED Talk on Saving Ourselves is OUT! Tune in to learn why we ALL need to be apocalyptic optimists… …Prepared for the climate shocks that are coming and ready to rally as activists, disruptors, and bridge-builders to save ourselves from the climate crisis. As COP29 continues to show the weaknesses of the climate regime and the world braces for a second Trump Administration, the message of apocalyptic optimism is even more relevant. Thanks again to the incredible TED team including Maryam Pasha Nicole Ng David Biello and Lindsay Levin for helping me distill my 225-page book into a coherent talk! Thanks also to my amazing cohort of inspiring speakers, including Danielle Butcher Franz Darya Shaikh Gabriel Kra Galina Angarova Greg De Temmerman Jason Huang Joshua Amponsem Katherine Dunn Kris De Meyer Matthew Phillips Ryan Gilliam Vidhya Ramalingam Jeff More (and Lauren, Jenny, Pattie, Roman, Andika, and Fenton)! #COP29 #Climate #SavingOurselves #ApocalypticOptimism #TEDTalk https://lnkd.in/gGVZwqq7
Dana R. Fisher I look forward to listening to your TEDTalk! The ability to embrace optimism is connected to taking all the necessary actions to inform others about the impact of climate change and climate stressors on our planet. Thank you for being an articulate and rational voice in your TEDTalk, in Saving Ourselves and all your work!
Thank *you* Dana! You and your work make me optimistic even in the face of apocalypse.
Well done 🥂🍾
