A new project has been launched in Jersey with the aim of training climate guides to spark meaningful conversations around the topic of climate change.
‘Climate Guides’ has been created by Linzi Hawkin of Protect Blue and Sheena Brockie of The Good Jersey Life in response to the feeling of being in an echo chamber, having conversations with the same group of highly engaged people, but recognising the need to expand the discussions.
Climate Guides are specifically looking for 100 Islanders to take part in a project to get more people talking about climate change.
Sheena said: ‘The interesting part is that we are not really looking for the usual suspects, the people who are already talking about climate or who work in this space. We would love to invite new voices in, so the issues can be explored from different perspectives and the opinions of all parts of the Island community can be heard.
‘Part of the Climate Guides’ training focuses on climate adaptations, actions to help us cope with the effects of climate change and on climate mitigations – actions that reduce or prevent the emission of greenhouses gases. From a decarbonised power supply, marine protected areas, sustainable transport options and regenerative project – Jersey has a lot to talk about!’
Basically, Climate Guides are looking for anyone who loves to talk. You don’t need any knowledge of climate change or environmental issues – just a good dose of curiosity and a commitment to sparking conversations with your friends, family, co-workers and community.
If you’re interested, Climate Guides will invite you to join them for a 90-minute workshop, outdoors in nature, to give you all the tools you need to get started, and a simple form to share feedback from the conversations you then spark.
