Eco-Anxiety and Inequality: Clover Hogan's Eye-Opening Discussion
“More and more young people in the global north, particularly those of us historically removed from frontline climate impacts, are experiencing growing eco-anxiety, not only because of what we're reading in the media, but because the crisis is becoming our lived experience too.”
Feeling overwhelmed by climate change and its social implications? In this episode of 'Force of Nature', Clover Hogan dives into the complex relationship between eco-anxiety and social justice. She sits down with Isaias Hernandez, the creator of QueerBrownVegan, to break down how climate change and racism are intertwined. The conversation doesn't stop there; young voices from around the globe share their experiences, revealing how social inequalities amplify their climate-related anxieties.
Rob Cameron, Nestle's global head of affairs, also joins the discussion, highlighting how those least responsible for the climate crisis often suffer the most. Resident psychotherapist Caroline Hickman offers practical advice on transforming these heavy emotions into meaningful action. Whether you're a seasoned activist or just starting to understand the climate crisis, this episode provides a comprehensive look at the emotional and social dimensions of environmental activism.
