The Green Room by EnviroCentre

Communicating climate change, and the importance of community and belonging with Sundeep Virdi, Chair of the EnviroCentre Board of Directors.

Episode Summary

This week’s guest reminds us that we’ve been hearing for a long time, what the effects of climate change will be, and it really is an urgent matter. She has spent a lot of time thinking about how to effectively communicate this urgency. Sundeep Virdi is the Chair of the EnviroCentre Board of Directors, and joined because she truly believes that small changes have an impact, and it’s one way to contribute to the cultural transformation required to take climate action. Political inertia is what keeps Sundeep up at night, and she shares that the antidote to this is community building and grassroots activism. Sundeep’s call to action is ‘Big or small, get involved!’.
