Video: A race against despair

Kirsten Dunlop, CEO Climate KIC, reflects on the need to move beyond fear and despair in the climate crisis, arguing that meaningful progress depends on rebuilding trust, collective action and hope.

The climate crisis has no shortage of data. What it often lacks is belief that things can actually change. Kirsten Dunlop, CEO of Climate-KIC, thinks that's the real problem and that rebuilding collective agency, and a genuine sense of possibility is where progress begins. 

In this video, she reflects on the work of the Global Citizens' Assembly, and why bringing ordinary people together across borders to shape shared solutions might be one of the most effective things we can do right now.
