Interviews

Occasional interviews with people who are on the frontlines of sustainability, indigenous rights, and cultural change efforts but are not on the front pages and tend to be in the Sacred Earth Network orbit.

Susanne Moser

Susanne Moser, PhD, is an action-oriented researcher whose work focuses on the social impacts of, and responses to, climate change, particularly in coastal areas and on how to communicate global warming in a way that facilitates the necessary social changes. She published an anthology on the topic, entitled Creating a Climate for Change: Communicating Climate Change and Facilitating Social Change (Cambridge University Press, 2007; now out in paperback).    

From 1999-2003, Susanne worked for the Union of Concerned Scientists as the staff scientist for climate change, working in the trenches of effective climate change communication and social mobilization for change. She is also a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).  IPCC is made up of more than 2000 of the leading climate, and climate related, scientists in the world.

Bill Pfeiffer [Sacred Earth Network's founder] met her for the first time in March 07' in Boulder, Colorado where she works at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. She has been a member of Sacred Earth Network for many years. Their short, but exciting, chat led to this interview.
