Listening to echoes of hope: Evidence-based climate stories and a hopepunk God
In this conversation, part of our Crafting Hope series, Emma Pavey is joined by Dr Steven van den Heuvel and Dr Elin Kelsey for a conversation about the evidence-based hope, and how it interweaves with theology to change the narrative around climate change and the actions we take.
