The Climate Crisis is a Communications Crisis
“I've learned is that all of these challenges - climate, housing, food systems, energy, social justice…not only are they absolutely all connected, but at the root, these challenges aren't just about installing solar panels or passing policy on carbon markets.
At the root - what all of these have in common, is that we actually have a communications crisis. We have a relationship crisis.” - Lara Tomov
