It\u2019s a tough nut to crack, but there may be better ways. What we do know: most climate narratives\u2019 underlying assumptions are self-limiting (e.g., they embody the disempowering but common view that cities, companies and countries are trapped in a free-rider problem that can only be solved by full collaboration across all nations). Also, many are based on a disempowering \u201ccommand and control\u201d philosophy (e.g., \u201cif you believe me and do what I say, we will be better off\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>How can we engender truly motivating communication? One that evokes desire, human connection, and a sense of agency? How does it leave people with curiosity and hunger for more? This event models an engagement format that provides room for all participants to explore their own narratives, by offering no hidden agenda, no unspoken expectation, and no key message. In fact, it is so pointless that real points are free to emerge.
