In the final episode of Beyond Ecological Grief, marine biologist Nicola Smith reflects on what it means to confront the reality of climate change, and why accepting that reality is essential to limiting the severity of a future that is already unfolding.
Alongside Nicola's story, climate psychologist Britt Wray explores the final stage of grief: acceptance. Together, they ask what hope really means in an era of climate change—and why grief, when shared, can become a source of courage rather than paralysis.
Beyond Ecological Grief is a six-part series about how people live with profound loss in a changing world, and what it means to carry grief, justice and hope forward.
