Writer and climate activist Kate Schapira shares lessons she has learned from discussing climate change with her community in Providence, Rhode Island, offering strategies for supporting each other in uncertain times.

Scientists have been warning us about the devastating effects of global warming for decades, but as natural disasters become increasingly common and we watch climate change play out in real time, climate anxiety is building.

Building community and support networks will be key to navigating the climate crisis together.

Kate Schapira is a writer, poet, and a lecturer at Brown University. For the past decade, Schapira has engaged with her community on climate change issues by hosting a 'Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth.'

In her 2024 book, Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth, Schapira provides tools for processing our climate anxiety while taking practical steps to prepare for inevitable environmental changes.
