À propos de ce podcast
The Cautious Climate Optimist came out of a desire to share conversations with the inspiring individuals behind many of the climate stories we’ve covered since 2023. In 2025, with Climate Stories Atlantic, we created a podcast for more personal and in-depth conversations with some of the people behind the projects helping us reach carbon reduction targets. Our goal is to fight climate anxiety with stories that help foster climate hope, and this podcast aims to continue that important work — all wrapped up in frank and revealing conversations.
