How to have (better) climate conversations - with Claire Brown from Larger Us

<p>According to climate scientist <a href="https://www.katharinehayhoe.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Katharine Hayhoe</a>, <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/katharine_hayhoe_the_most_important_thing_you_can_do_to_fight_climate_change_talk_about_it" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the most important thing we can do to fight climate change is talk about it.</a> <br />But the reality, certainly for me, and if attendees on my <a href="https://www.asustainablelife.co.uk/carbon-literacy-talking-climate-the-sustainableish-carbon-literacy-course/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Carbon Literacy courses</a> are anything to do by, for others too, it isn’t easy. We worry that we don’t know all the facts and stats and maybe we’re going to get stuck in an argument with a climate denier. We worry that people will think we’re judging them, that they will think we’re a hypocrite if we’re not ‘perfect environmentalist’ (side note, there’s no such thing).<br /><br />In this weeks episode, I'm chatting to Claire Brown, Deputy Director at <a href="https://larger.us/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Larger Us</a>, and climate conversationalist extraordinaire! Claire shares her top tips, in a really practical and actionable way, that hopefully leaves us all feeling like (good) climate conversations are a bit more do-able.<br /><br /><b><strong>USEFUL LINKS:</strong></b></p><ul><li>Larger Us<br />- <a href="https://larger.us/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Website</a><br />- <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/LargerUs/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">On Linked In</a><br />- <a href="https://larger.us/ideas/lets-talk-climate/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Let’s Talk Climate</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/claire-m-brown/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Claire Brown on Linked In</a></li><li><a href="https://climateoutreach.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Climate Outreach</a><br />- <a href="https://climateoutreach.org/btc/2025/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Britain talks climate and nature</a></li><li><a href="https://www.moreincommon.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">More in Common</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/missnicolathorp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Nicola Thorp on Instagram</a></li><li><a href="https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/books-more-time-to-think-by-nancy-kline#9781844037964" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">More Time to Think by Nancy Kline</
