This conversation is for of those of us who sense that typical climate change conversations, even within CCA, may be inadequate to our collective challenge. What will it take to win?

?

The CCA supports a diversity of approaches to climate change. This is inclusive and encouraging. Everybody can contribute something. ‘A thousand flowers blooming’, as the saying goes.

I happen to think this approach, while goodhearted, is woefully inadequate given the scale of our challenge. We should be passionately thinking through what it will take to change the systems that drive climate change, and catalyse an aligned movement to inspire mainstream commitment to making it happen.

Let’s face it: our isolated individual actions will have little effect on bulldozers in the Amazon, or on the industrial production that feeds consumerist appetites in England, Australia and America. We need a new kind of social change movement involving thousands of organizations and millions of people. Let’s consider how to create one!

I take the bottom line to be this:

Greta Thunberg will have reason to hope when she sees that mainstream society is committed to turning things around.

Let’s make it happen!
