Kriti Murthy & Samantha Hicks – Guelph Climate Action Network – Emotions, Empathy & Action

In this episode, host Jordan Sloggett talks with Samantha Hicks and Kriti Murthy from the Guelph Climate Action Network (GCAN) about the emotional side of climate work—and how community, empathy, and education play key roles in moving from awareness to action.

We explore GCAN’s two key programs:

🌍 Climate Fresk – a collaborative, science-based workshop that breaks down the complexities of climate change

🌀 Climate Circles – a space for people to process the emotions that come with climate grief, anxiety, and hope

Kriti and Sam share their personal motivations, the importance of caring deeply, and how GCAN is building a more connected and climate-conscious Guelph.
