Dana Fisher, an "apocalyptic optimist," believes that although climate change poses a serious threat and responses from governments and corporations are lacking, the challenges brought on by climate shocks can inspire significant change. She argues that experiencing the effects of climate change firsthand can ignite activism, creating greater pressure on leaders to move away from fossil fuels. To achieve this, it's essential to build community and solidarity within the climate movement, recognize that some activism may face pushback, and strengthen community resilience to better withstand future climate challenges.
