The deep emotions that drive our response to ecological loss
In short: Climate action is often framed as a technical problem, but it is deeply rooted in our feelings. This talk explores how love, sorrow, and rage serve as the primary engines for environmental change.
Social worker and activist Knut Ivar Bjørlykhaug explores the psychological landscape of climate-driven ecological loss. Rather than focusing solely on data, he argues that confronting the difficult emotions we feel for our planet is essential for collective action.
By identifying the specific feelings of love and sorrow tied to nature, the presentation aims to transform these emotions into a service for our shared home.
