This idea that there's this minority of people who care about climate change, that's an illusion.
That's not true.
And if you ask people...
what the emotional consequences are of those feelings.
People say things like eco-anxiety, anger, sadness, grief, that we're worried about the future.
But what you want is for people to feel motivated, energized, purposeful about tackling one of the biggest issues of our time.

I went to anti-corruption conferences.
I went to wildlife crime conferences.
I went to the specific meeting of multilateral agreements to see how people were negotiating in the room and the tensions between it.
