261. How to Live a Good Life in a Climate Crisis - Introduction

Published: Oct. 3, 2024, 12:30 a.m.

In episode 1 of our How To Live A Good Life in a Climate Crisis series, the Outrage + Optimism hosts introduce you to their new mini series and discuss how they define a good life.

For the next few weeks, Tom, Paul and Christiana will explore questions that you, the listeners, have asked us to address, around what it means to live a good life at this pivotal moment, facing uncertainty and judgments. They\u2019ll talk about whether we should fly, what we eat, how to enjoy a meaningful career and whether or not we should have children.

This free ranging discussion attempts to shine a light on the interplay between the largest issue facing humanity - the climate crisis - and the difference each of us can make.

Although this series concerns itself with individual action, part of our role is to call on governments and other institutions to precipitate systemic change.

Please don\u2019t expect any right or wrong answers! Tom, Paul and Christiana will not prescribe you the ingredients for the perfect life! They will share their own insights, stories and struggles. And after listening there\u2019s a good chance you might feel more confused - we only hope you\u2019ll be confused at a deeper level.\xa0\xa0

We\u2019d love to hear what you think.\xa0
