Many of us feel a range of emotions regarding the challenges posed by climate change and its consequences. These can range from hope and optimism through to anger, fear and hopelessness.

In this 50-minute webinar Andy Roberts from Bankside wellbeing organisation, Breathe London, explores tips and tools to help harness our emotions to help empower us with strategies to move forward.

To do this, he will share the insights from people worldwide who are at the front line of the consequences of climate change. These include teams working to conserve the barrier reef and rainforest in Australia and a technology expert at the forefront of solar technology in London. And he will share some ideas from psychology to help us build resilience and cautious optimism.

This event is part of Bankside 2025: pioneering a low carbon neighbourhood, a programme of activity taking place from 25-29 October 2021 at a converted Southwark Street railway arch. Organised by Better Bankside and open to the public in the run up to COP26, the arch will transform into a hub for climate action, mobilising active participation from businesses and individuals from across Bankside and London.
