“There is a lot of power that we haven't really unleashed yet as parents,” says Rowan Ryrie, a founding member of grassroots parents movements in the UK and globally called Parents For Future.

In this conversation we’ll talk about how parents can engage in climate action, the importance for our kids of doing so, and looking after ourselves and our families as we take action.

This episode is supported by Parents For Future UK, which inspires and empowers parents to use their voice and advocate for climate and biodiversity, and be part of the solution to help protect their children’s future.

How To Tell Better Climate Stories

“We all really have power, but we also have the power to pass the mic and to bring other people into the conversation. Kids, adults, whoever it might be. Everyone has something they could contribute to help the world reach, draw down and to help solve this climate crisis,” says Matt Scott, climate storyteller with Project Drawdown.

In this conversation we’ll talk about climate solutions storytelling, hearing the unheard in the climate space, and climate storytelling with kids.

How To Talk About Climate Change

“If you're a human being, you have the permission to talk about climate change because it affects us all. The best thing to do is just to talk about it from your point of view,” says Dr. Rebecca Huntley, one of Australia’s most experienced social researchers and author of numerous books including “How To Talk About Climate Change in a Way That Makes a Difference”.

In this conversation we’ll talk about the need to get emotional about climate change, social trends in relation to climate change, and how we can bring about a change of heart in others.

This episode is supported by Australian Parents For Climate Action, a growing movement of parents and carers working together to secure a safe climate for our kids.
