Event description
How do we find courage when climate change overwhelms us?
Join Jonica Newby, award-winning science reporter and popular presenter on the ABC TV science program Catalyst, as she explores how to navigate the emotional turmoil of climate change.
After researching what global warming will do to the snow country she loves, Jonica Newby plummeted into a state of profound climate grief and wondered to herself, if she was struggling, how was everyone else coping?
Author of Beyond Climate Grief: a journey of love, snow, fire and an enchanted beer can, Jonica Newby will share her personal insights including personal conversations with singer-songwriter Missy Higgins, comedians Charlie Pickering and Craig Reucassel and business leader Mike Cannon-Brookes; practical advice from psychological and scientific experts, incredible accounts from everyday heroes; and inspiring stories from the climate strike kids.
