From Ache to Action: The Human Work of Climate Change
Speakers:
Elizabeth Bagley, Ph.D., Managing Director, Project Drawdown
Katharine Wilkinson, Ph.D., Co-founder, The All We Can Save Project
Climate solutions don't implement themselves — they require people who are informed, motivated, and equipped to act. The SHIFT (Super High-Impact Initiative for Fixing Tomorrow) guide provides a research-based framework for connecting personal action to collective impact across five roles: citizen, professional, investor, consumer, and role model.
But knowing what to do is only part of the journey. When the path feels uncertain — or the weight of the moment becomes too hard to carry — how do we find our footing?
Katharine K. Wilkinson, Ph.D., co-editor of All We Can Save and lead writer of Drawdown, has written a new guide for exactly this moment. Climate Wayfinding: Healing Ourselves and the Planet We Call Home is a compassionate, empowering map for moving from ache to action, from doubt to possibility — “invaluable,” as Bill McKibben recently put it.
Join Wilkinson and Project Drawdown’s Elizabeth Bagley, Ph.D., for a dynamic conversation and readings from the book. Together, they will explore how we orient ourselves within a changing world, identify where we can contribute most, and sustain the energy to keep going. Whether you are a longtime climate practitioner or newly finding your footing, you will leave nourished, grounded, and better equipped for the road ahead.
