The science is clear: humans are responsible for recent climate change. Why then is it so hard for people to believe – and even harder for us to solve? “The problem lies with being rooted in old ways of thinking,” says climate scientist Simon Donner. In this engaging and pragmatic talk, Donner shows how embracing our imaginations can help people overcome doubts about climate science, climate impacts and climate solutions.
We can make a better future for ourselves and for future generations,” he says. “To get there, we need our imaginations. We need the courage to see a different future, and chart the path there.”
