In the run-up to Earth Day, one of Youth for Ecocide Law’s core mobilisers, Laila Martins, is hosting a climate sharing circle. It will be a space to vent, share difficult emotions, and support one another as we organize major Earth Day actions and events.

The Climate Circle provides a virtual space for open-sharing for people studying environmental topics, climate activists and/or people legitimately worried about climate change and environmental degradation. It gives a chance to offload some of the emotions felt during the day, which cannot always be talked about with friends and relatives.

It provides an opportunity to share openly about all the feelings, emotions and insights that come with the climate crisis, whether exhaustion, frustration, grief, or joy, hope and critical experiences, within a supportive community. The Circle gathers people from around the world, and provides an opportunity to listen to both similar and different perspectives.
