Our climate change debates (and cascading extreme events) can be depressing. So, what an absolute and complete pleasure to speak with Anika about her new book Our Sunburnt Country, writing, storytelling and cultivating climate courage and action with optimism, hope and excitement. Yes! Genuine, informed excitement!
Anika knows her stuff. Not only is she super well informed, she’s fabulously authentic and warm. In times when worldly cynicism, sophistry and spin, can cloud our gaze on real opportunities that are out there for positive change, Anika bravely puts out the call for justice, responsibility and vision. She tells the story of multiple and many solutions, the benefits, and offers practical, inspiring pathways and tools for all of us to consider to help be the leaders we need, to take action and fuel what she calls the ‘accelerators’ for social tipping points and change.
Anika’s book is beautifully written and a pleasure to read, as Matthew Evans says in his praise for Our Sunburnt Country:
'In a hope-filled, personal tale framed by her family farm in a sun-baked landscape, Anika Molesworth weaves philosophy, science and a poet’s eye into a heart-warming tale of how to help heal the planet.'
- MATTHEW EVANS, CHEF AND BESTSELLING AUTHOR
I loved speaking with Anika and her positive, forward-looking spirit.
“Rather than tell stories that are reactive and oppositional, share stories that are optimistic and propositional”
Our Sunburnt Country does just that. Bravo and thank you Anika!
