Climate, Complexity & Relational Accountability

The climate and nature emergency are results of the ongoing systemic violence that we perpetuate towards one another and the planet we are part of. How can we show up to each other and to the planet differently in these challenging times? Led by Dr. Vanessa Andreotti, Dean of the University of Victoria’s Faculty of Education this webinar introduces a methodology designed to assist us in confronting the painful realities of climate destabilization and biodiversity loss, and the complexities of addressing these challenges, without feeling overwhelmed or immobilized. This methodology calls us to take 7 steps back from what can hinder our capacity to navigate complexity, to coordinate effectively and to exercise intergenerational responsibility. It also invites us to take 7 steps forward (or aside) to show up to each other and the planet with humility, patience, discernment, humour, compassion and accountability.
