Greetings! It's issue 28 of the "Japan Climate Curation" newsletter???
While doing research this week, I realized that there are broadly 2 types of news stories about climate change. Those about the harsh reality we need to learn, and those about solutions that make us feel hopeful for the future.
I know we need both to have a deeper understanding, but I rather felt the stories about hopeful & potential solutions are much more needed to get us more excited and inspire for the better.
So, as an experiment, I put emoji ??????, so that you could easily find which stories are tough realities or hopeful solutions. Let's see how it goes??.
