Renée covers a lot of ground including how to engage others who care about climate change, the emotional effects and anxiety people feel as well how people working on the issue daily manage their feelings.

Technology will help us avoid the worst of the climate crisis, and it’ll help us adapt to a warming planet. But tech alone can’t save us.

Dr. Renée Lertzman (PhD, Founder, Project InsideOut) in conversation with Michiel Bakker (Vice President, Global Workspace Porgrams, at Google) about climate change as "existential change management" on leading change at scale inside a big company, and the implications for sustainability leadership going forward.

Many of us on the front lines of climate change confront an array of emotional ups and downs. From feeling hopeful and energized, to moments of overwhelm and frustration, we’ve all been there (sometimes all on the same day). How can we stay effective, grounded and sane? How can we avoid the pitfalls of “toxic positivity” or falling into despair?

How leaders can plan for a realistically sustainable future

Your response wouldn’t be, "Wow, Lauren, you’re really passionate about 16 wheelers! Have you always been such a gearhead? I’m so happy you have this passion." Certainly not. You would join me to step aside and avoid the imminent catastrophe.
