Do we need Systemic or Individual Changes to address the Climate Crisis?
In this episode of Know Your Stuff, we interview Kimberly Nicholas, sustainability scientist at Lund University (Sweden), about her new book, Under the Sky We Make (2021). We talk about the climate crisis and about her new book. We also discuss what lifestyle changes major emitters in the Global North can make to reduce their carbon emissions and why they matter in terms of systemic change. Finally, we explore what individuals can do to remain optimistic and what can be done to not give up hope in this time of crisis.
