Details

To coincide with the launch of Hold This Space web platform, Common Vision have produced a complementary research report which informed the development of the digital tool.

The report examines the drivers and influences behind different emotional responses to climate change.

It focuses on the power of narrative change, and how supporting young people to recognise, understand and take control of climate narratives and their climate stories is an important part of helping them to cope with their emotions and lead climate action.
