Why the full truth of the climate crisis starts with grief, with Paul Hawken
About this episode
Paul Hawken discusses the importance of reframing grief in the context of the climate crisis.
“Grief is a blessing. It's a guide. It's a signal. It's us being our best self when we feel grief, because it's our heart,” says OG environmentalist Paul Hawken on the Climate Curious podcast. In conversation with co-hosts Ben Hurst and Maryam Pasha, Paul invites us to reframe fear as grief, take courage over hope (particularly in regards to the Iran war), and even has a poignant message for aliens landing on Earth. Tune in to learn why your climate grief isn’t bad – it’s truth.
