Who are the incrementalists? with Dana R. Fisher
About this episode
Dana R. Fisher discusses the concept of incrementalism and the need for real systemic change in climate action.
Break the system, don’t just tweak it. That’s what sociologist and professor Dana R. Fisher says on this week’s Climate Curious. Tune in with co-host Maryam Pasha to learn about incrementalists: people who think cleaning up a broken system leads to a sanitised version of the status quo – not real systemic change. From how institutions have used and jaded the youth movement for optics, whilst leaving them disconnected after crackdowns on college campus protests, this apocalyptic optimist shares the most likely path forward. Recorded at TED 2026. Dana’s book is here: Saving Ourselves , Check out her TED Talk and her new pod Apocalyptic Optimist Podcast !
