Question - World Cafe and Climate Change?

This question was sent in by Leslie Davenport:

Has anyone used the World Cafe following climate change induced natural disasters, or as a forum to look at transformational ways to address the escalation of climate events?

I am writing a book on emotional resiliency in the era of climate change. The book has three components: the psychology of climate change denial, identifying and shifting the underlying collective beliefs that reinforce the dysfunctional system feeding climate change, and the most effective individual and community approaches to deal with climate change losses. The hope is to contribute to transforming the system while supporting existing needs.

I am wanting to hear from people who have been touched directly by climate events such as flood, fire, tornadoes, extreme heat, contamination of water supplies, etc. I want to include whatever forms of emotional and practical support was useful, learn what was lacking, and any hear of surprises in rebuilding your life and community. I could image the World Cafe being an important venue with this.

I would also love to hear from anyone working in this way with World Cafe.

The best way to respond is to send an email to [email protected], with "Climate Interview" in the subject line. Feel free to forward this to anyone you know who may be interested.
