Sustaining optimism and courage into the harsh realities of climate change.

James Renwick is a Geography Professor at Victoria University of Wellington, specialising in climate change. He has 40 years’ experience in atmospheric science and climate research, and was New Zealand Climate Change Commissioner, and lead author of three IPCC reports. As NZ's leading communication on climate change, what responses does he get? How does he keep sane and postitive??

Silvia Purdie is a counsellor and ordained minister, and co-ordinator of Climate Mental Health Aotearoa. She interviewed James, and shared some of her own thoughts on courage and optimism in our difficult times.
