#87 Phoebe Barnard: Our Most Profound Humanity

Phoebe Barnard is an environmental and societal futures analyst and sustainability strategist, global change ecologist, biodiversity conservation biologist, climate risk and resilience specialist, policy wonk, and film co-producer. She is the chief executive officer at the Stable Planet Alliance and an affiliate professor at UW Bothell and UW Seattle. Phoebe works at the intersection of science, society, sustainability, policy, planning, and media storytelling.

She addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:

• “Soldiering on through times of profound ecological angst” to make our positive contributions
• The importance of surrounding ourselves with “wonderful people… that are like-minded in their determination to make that positive future, that kinder, wiser, more humble, more sustainable civilization ahead happen.”
• That “these times call upon us to be the best kind of person that we can be” and “to bring out our most profound humanity”.
