Generative change framework

We’ve developed a framework for generative change to help stakeholders identify and acknowledge climate emotions, and use them to plan, develop, and implement technologies for a just transition to Net Zero.

The graphic shows whree abstract shapes labelled A, B and C. with arrows indicating that when combined they form a larger compound shape.

A Acknowledging and expressing feelings

Acknowledging difficult emotions with self-compassion and curiosity towards ourselves, rather than judgment. Cultivating positive climate emotions. Developing emotional differentiation and reflexivity.

B Taking action

Finding a shared sense of purpose and vision. Taking steps to achieve change.

C  Cultivating belonging, community and dialogue

Nurturing a sense of ‘connectedness’ or belonging with both place and one another. Finding shared language for emotions, places and technologies. Sharing our stories and amplifying marginalised or silenced voices.

Coming soon:

We’re currently developing and evaluating a practical online toolkit that you’ll be able to use as a self-guided resource or as a basis for group work with teams, stakeholders and communities. It will help you to understand and harness your own climate emotions and those of the people you live and work with, in order to develop powerful and effective strategies and solutions.

If you’d like to take part in our evaluation phase, please do get in touch using the form below.
