“Step one: Face the climate emergency.” (with Margaret Klein Salamon, Founding Principal of Climate Awakening, and author of Facing the Climate Emergency: How to Transform Yourself with Climate Truth.)
So you want to fight climate change but you’re feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of the problem?
Margaret Klein Salamon is a clinical psychologist turned climate activist eager to help people overcome inertia and fear so they can get involved in the climate movement. We talk about how to activate “emergency mode” instead of “panic mode” to face some of the biggest challenges of our time, and what’s at stake if we don’t.

Margaret Klein Salamon
Hello! I’m Margaret Klein Salamon, PhD. I am a Clinical Psychologist turned Climate Activist. I have been working on waking up the public to the Climate Emergency for 8 years.I know that climate change poses an imminent threat to our civilization, our species, and each of us individually. I know that the only possible solution to the problem is a waging a WWII-level war on climate change: a massive, government-led, society-wide mobilization. I know that, to achieve such a response, we need to coordinate a social and political movement.
