Communicate with Hope
Through our Earth Optimism initiative, the Smithsonian Conservation Commons is working to change the way we talk about conservation, climate, and sustainability. Decades into the environmental movement, it can be challenging to reset our thinking and shift the conversation from one that focuses chiefly on urgency and imminent disaster to one that highlights solutions and gives a sense of hope for the future of our shared planet. We’ve gathered a few resources here to help guide you or your organization toward a more positive, equitable, and solutions-centered dialogue.
