SUMMARY:June Climate Circle: Breaking the Spiral of Silence–Why We Don’t Talk and How We Can Start
DESCRIPTION:June Climate Circle: Breaking the Spiral of Silence\nAre you comfortable talking to your neighbors\, friends\, or family about climate change? If the answer is no\, you’ve got company. \nAccording to a recent global study by The Guardian and international newsrooms\, 89% of people are concerned about climate change—but most of us aren’t talking about it. \nFear of judgment\, disagreement\, or social tension silences us\nPsychologists and communication experts call it the Spiral of Silence—a powerful force that keeps us quiet when we fear judgment\, disagreement\, or social tension. We assume others aren’t concerned\, or that we don’t know enough\, so we stay silent—even with the people closest to us. \nConnection\, emotion\, and trust open pathways to change\nSilence slows progress. Research shows that people don’t change their minds through facts alone—they change through connection\, emotion\, and trust. If most of us want to accelerate climate action\, then the way forward starts with conversation. \nLet’s turn concern into connection—and silence into momentum\nJoin us for our next Climate Circle on Monday\, June 2\, as we explore how to break the climate spiral of silence. Learn how to talk about climate change in ways that open minds\, spark action\, and bring communities together. \nLet’s turn concern into connection—and silence into momentum. \nSign up here to receive the discussion materials and Zoom link. \n\nImage credit: Ekaterina Bolovtsova on Pexels
