Climate Majority Project

Many of us are holding our breath ahead of the US election, which will have far-reaching consequences for global action on environmental adaptation and mitigation - not to mention other dimensions of the polycrisis like AI regulation and armed conflict. We've invited two friends to help the climate majority prepare for and debrief from this political event. More details and links to sign up below! 🤺 Pre-election Resilience: Remaining Bulletproof together, with Chantal Burns ⏳ October 29 @ 18:30-20:00 GMT/13:30-15:00 ET At the Climate Majority Project, we aim to combine awareness of what’s happening in our world with tools to foster our wellbeing. Join us as we chat to Chantal Burns - conscious leadership coach, facilitator and author of "Bulletproof - a guide to radical resilience". A core contributor to CMP campaigns, Chantal will shine a light on how we can rise to the greatest challenges of our times and bring wiser responses whatever our circumstances. We won’t be hearing about ‘thinking positive’, ‘managing emotions’, or any other harmful myths about what it means to be resilient. Instead, through a mix of powerful research, practical insights, and relatable stories, we’ll gain radically new perspectives on age-old problems.

Stephen aligns strongly with the Climate Majority Project in his belief that, “the climate movement must be willing to include people with whom we disagree; otherwise it's not a movement, it's a clubhouse. The way to have a broad based movement is to have a common objective in front of us." [Stephen recently joined CMP co-director Liam Kavanagh to talk about mobilising mainstream climate action. Listen to their conversation here: https://lnkd.in/dVvin98r] As America prepares to go to the polls, the environmental movement holds its breath. Let’s explore what it means to build resilience together, whatever the outcome. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/dedXNrbt Rupert Read, Sam Bowen, Valentine Reltien, Cameron Najafi, Jelger Kroese, Ivo J.

As the dust settles following an extraordinary general election, what potentials are unlocked by our new political situation? How could both political parties address the Climate Majority’s concerns by showing real environmental leadership? Two new blogs on Green House Think Tank, by CMP co-directors Liam Kavanagh and Rupert Read explore these questions. Some thoughts for Tories ➡ https://lnkd.in/dCpRMb-V Some thoughts for Labour ➡ https://lnkd.in/dEsQSjYq To engage with conservative conservationist voices, and better understand how the political right can contribute to the environmental movement, join the next CM Thinks webinar on October 24 @ 20:00-21:30 BST with Amber Rudd (former British Home Secretary) and Bob Inglis, founder of republicEn.org.

Urge 3M, Amazon, Apple, Cisco, The Coca-Cola Company, Ford Motor Company, Google, Johnson & Johnson, Meta, Microsoft, PepsiCo, Pfizer, Qualcomm, Salesforce, and Visa to step up their climate leadership. It’s time to call on these companies to use their influence to catalyze meaningful climate policy action and live up to their green reputations. Why are these 15 companies undermining their sustainability commitments by lobbying against climate policy? Leadership means no longer lobbying against climate policies via your trade associations. These companies must close the gap between their public support of climate policy while simultaneously funding efforts that oppose it. It’s time they stop letting their trade associations such as the Business Roundtable and U.S. Chamber of Commerce speak for them on climate. #GuiltByTradeAssociation #LeadOnClimatePolicy

🌍✨ A Great Moderation: Uniting for Climate Action ✨🌍 As climate activists face increasing repression, the need for a united movement has never been more crucial. The Climate Majority Project aims to bring together diverse voices across the political spectrum to advocate for sustainable change. In Volume 66 Issue 5 of Environment Magazine, Alan McGowan interviews co-founders of the Climate Majority Project Rupert Read and Liam Kavanagh on their vision for a mainstream climate movement.

It was inspiring to represent the Climate Majority Project at the Teach the Future / Let's Go Zero parliamentary reception hosted by Nadia Whittome MP. Our schools are literally crumbling and students cannot learn in boiling hot or freezing cold classrooms! We also urgently need the government to hold to their promise to include Climate Education in the curriculum and prioritise emotional wellbeing. Check out the Climate Majority Project ‘s Climate Courage campaign on our website for curated resources for schools, colleges and Uni’s.

Join Rachel Musson, former teacher and Director of ThoughtBox Education (TE), to explore TE’s regenerative education practices and online #community of support for #educators. Rachel will also present their Triple Wellbeing model. This fosters Self-Care, People-Care and Earth-Care. A youth educational approach based on this transformative triad offers a basis for living with #purpose and #courage in a world of intensifying challenges. After the activity there will be some time in breakout rooms to debrief and meet other concerned colleagues and potential allies.

The Climate Majority Project congratulates Patagonia, Natura, Tony's Chocolonely and other signatories of the recent letter to the EU highlighting the importance of #regulation in response to the climate crisis. We would like to publicly support and celebrate these awakened business leaders in their calling for global science based climate legislation. However as we pass the 1.5 degree ‘safe’ zone, business must call for even bolder action from policymakers and legislators. Not only is a level playing field for climate action required, the #business community needs #policy support and regulation to prepare for the coming impacts of this environmental crisis. Our 'Regulate Us' campaign is uniting leaders from forward-thinking companies to those in hard-to-abate industries to publicly advocate for the necessary policies and regulations that will accelerate serious action on mitigation and adaptation. We invite the signatories to also join this effort. https://lnkd.in/dZrCTj44 Find out more about 'Regulate Us' here: https://lnkd.in/dfvNJyes Nick Hajdu, Valentine Reltien, Helena Farstad, Mike Clark, Mike Barry, Stan Kohler, Chantal Burns, Rupert Read, Liam Kavanagh, Sam Bowen, Rob Harrison-Plastow, Alexia Netcu, Tara Greaves, Immi Wright, Uzma Zahid, Maria O'Connor Ph.D., Ivo J.

“This crisis restores #meaning to our lives. Things will get better as they get worse because WE will get better as things get worse.” While in pressing times humans can revert to selfish, competitive mindsets, very often it is the opposite: hardship has and will strip us of what is superfluous and allow much of humanity to reconnect with loved ones, with neighbours, with the land and its creatures, and even people from far away lands.

“The climate movement must be willing to include people with whom we disagree; otherwise it's not a movement, it's a clubhouse. The way to have a broadbased movement is to have a common objective in front of us." We were delighted to host Stephen Markley, author of the masterful climate epic "The Deluge" during our residency on Strategic Adaptation for Energy Resilience (SAFER) at the Bergerac Life Itself hub. Things that were touched upon are: 👣 the importance of #thrutopia : not just a distant utopia where it's all rainbows and unicorns, not a dystopia in which we are already doomed, but an inspiring, step by step transformative vision 👨👩👧👦 the need for the environmental movement to bring people who don't agree on everything together around the protection of climate and nature 🕊 and more!
