Session 2: Why fear won't do it

Session two of the online, self-paced Climate Ambassador learning focuses on how emotions can be unreliable for motivating action

Activity: action attempted 

Think of a time where you wanted to take an action because of climate or the environment, but you were unable to carry it out or complete it. Reflect on:

  • What your action was 
  • The reason why you couldn't do it 
  • How it made you feel 

Once you have done this, choose one word to summarise how this made you feel. Keep that word in the front of mind as you start watching the video below:

If greater awareness of climate change and fear of climate impacts won’t do it, then what’s the alternative? Please continue to session 3.
