Our planet is undeniably warming, and its effects are no longer distant or theoretical—they’re unfolding in real time, right outside our windows.
From catastrophic wildfires to devastating floods, our planet's warming is rapidly altering landscapes, communities, and lives.
The first few months after the birth of my second son, amidst the fires of Australia’s ‘Black Summer.’ I remember staying indoors, holding my newborn and worrying about the smoky air, its invisible threat to his fragile lungs.
In the years that followed, I watched as unprecedented floods tore through my community, surpassing every record in scale and severity.
As a parent, one of my strongest instincts is to keep my children safe, but these events activated an almost ever-present sense of fight or flight and a feeling of dread for their future.
The balance of despairing at the devastation whilst still outwardly remaining positive for them and the state of the world I brought them into has never been so arduous to maintain.
