Katheline Jean-Pierre says the planet has crossed the 1.5°C warming threshold, and without collective action, floods, fires, and tornadoes will intensify. She connects personal trauma to a surge in people searching for purpose, and argues that finding purpose is how we drive climate-responsive action.
