About this episode
Today on The Next Big Idea Daily, we’re starting with the big-picture question: what does it actually take to move from climate anxiety to climate action? Political sociologist Dana Fisher argues in Saving Ourselves: From Climate Shocks to Climate Action that the era of “climate shocks” is already here—and that real resilience isn’t just personal prep, it’s collective action that’s organized, local, and sustained. Then tech journalist David Pogue gets intensely practical in How to Prepare for Climate Change: A Practical Guide to Surviving the Chaos, laying out what it looks like to plan for disruptions without spiraling into doomscrolling.
