Climate Anxiety Rountable Series

You’re invited to join us for 🌍✨ Climate Anxiety Roundtable: Environmental Education, Ecophobia, and Empowered Learning 🌱📚, a meaningful conversation about how climate anxiety could show up in classrooms and learning spaces, and how we can reshape environmental education to be more hopeful, inclusive, and action-driven 💚

When we think about climate anxiety, it often shows up as fear, helplessness, or shutdown, especially when environmental education focuses heavily on crisis without pathways for action. This roundtable will explore the concept of ecophobia, how it impacts students’ emotional well-being, and how education can either reinforce anxiety or help transform it into empowerment.

Together, we’ll reflect on how educators, students, and communities can foster curiosity, resilience, and agency through more balanced and solution-oriented approaches to climate learning. We’ll also talk about how education can move beyond fear to inspire connection, care, and meaningful engagement 🌿

Come share your thoughts, listen to others, and be part of a space focused on learning, growth, and collective care 🤝

You’re invited to Climate Anxiety Roundtable: Science Communication, Community Resilience!!

Hi everyone! You’re invited to join us for 🌍✨ Climate Anxiety Roundtable: Food Insecurity, Access, Action, and Nourish 🍎🌱. We will have a meaningful conversation about food insecurity and climate anxiety in collaboration with Food Recovery Network at UC Irvine 💚.

When we think about climate anxiety, it often shows up as worry about who has access to food and who doesn’t, and about how we can better support one another in our community. This roundtable is a space to unpack those feelings together and reflect on ways we can build stronger, more supportive communities 🤝.

🗓 Date: April 22

⏰ Time: 5:00–7:00 PM

📍 Location: Humanities Hall 108

We’ll be using a Jubilee Spectrum-style discussion 💬 , so you can engage at your own comfort level while hearing a range of perspectives. The goal is to leave with something real—new ideas, connections, or even just a sense of grounding 🌿

Come as you are, bring a friend, and be part of the conversation!!!
