It feels like we are moving into the next phase of climate change, with the effects becoming more obvious. It's getting harder to ignore!

In this second in our series on the psychology of climate change, Anna & Darragh are joined once again by psychologist Eoin Galavan and community activist Caitriona Kenny.

Eoin helps us solve the psychology puzzles, and Caitriona brings her lived experience. We discuss questions like how do we talk to other people? For parents, how do we talk to children honestly while still protecting them? How can we process and manage climate anxiety for ourselves and others?

We need cohesive social dialogue to help us through, how do we take steps to create the social change we need?
