Climate and Environment
In episode eight of the UN climate action podcast No Denying It, popular Australian science communicator Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki (known to many as Dr. Karl) introduces Yvonne Cuaresma, the founder of The Climate Journal, a space for her, and others, to share and alleviate their anxieties and fears about the environment.
Yvonne Cuaresma
Yvonne Cuaresma is Filipina American, and grew up in California with adventures like camping, fishing, and trips to the lake or beach, which gave her an early love for nature.
Her project, The Climate Journal, is designed to helps users suffering from planetary grief and climate change paralysis through guided reflections and challenges.
Ms. Cuaresma inspires us to take stock of our own emotional responses to climate change, investigate our paralysis and grief, and find a path to solutions.
