??? “Art automatically, and at a very profound level, touches our emotions and brings us into a sense of being in community with others. That sense of connection with other people is what we need to move forward in advancing climate progress.”? —Miranda Massie on This Green Earth This Green Earth is a weekly radio program on KPCW Radio, an NPR affiliate, that explores the environment and environmentalism. Through interviews with a range of experts, co-hosts Christopher Cherniak and Claire Wiley explore the science, politics, economics, and ethics behind the environment, natural resources, sustainability, and climate change. Climate Museum founder and director Miranda Massie was recently interviewed on the show. The episode can be found at the link below—check it out! https://lnkd.in/eMi2NCE8

Last week, the transition to a clean energy economy and policies addressing the connections between climate change and social justice suffered a devastating setback. Our work, and yours, for a safe and just future confronts major new obstacles. So our work, and yours, must intensify. Read on in today’s newsletter (linked below), which also contains an urgent call to action. Photo: Sari Goodfriend

We’re delighted to share a new social science study from Center for Climate Change Communication, George Mason University (4C) that captures the visitor transformations we observed at our last exhibition. Nicholas Badullovich, Ed Maibach, and John Botcher carried out a largely quantitative study of the impact of the show. Using baseline and follow-up surveys, they found that the exhibition increased the following metrics for visitors: determination and confidence to talk about climate, hope in our ability to achieve climate progress together, and understanding that more people are concerned about climate change than they previously thought. The article is currently under review for publication. Learn more and check out the preprint at the link in our bio! Photos: Sari Goodfriend https://lnkd.in/evvtX_HU

For our final event at The Nest Climate Campus, we had the pleasure of speaking with Daphne Frias of Box the Ballot and Larissa Moraes of Engajamundo. These activists discussed youth, disability, and indigenous justice; the vital role of anger in activism; and the need to create space for joy and humor to make this work sustainable. Sincere thanks to all of our Climate Week partners at the Nest Climate Campus, including the Nest team, the Climate Group, and the organizations that were represented at the Climate Museum Community Stage.
