When we hear the topic being brought up around climate, it can bring out an array of emotions. You will notice we share the term Climate Hope.
In this Guardian article, ‘Hope is an embrace of the unknown’, author Rebecca Solnit shares that “Hope locates itself in the premises that we don’t know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act”.
When we orientate towards hope we can create space for action. As we’ve seen during disasters, communities stand together and become united. We need one another to be supported and resilient.
When you whanaungatanga with te taiao, pay attention to the impact on your hauora. We're here to support you, and to help you tautoko the emotional wellbeing of tamariki.
