18. Storytelling, Culture, and the Climate Narrative with Aria McKenna

In this episode of The MEER Podcast, we are joined by writer, director, and climate advocate Aria McKenna to explore the powerful role of storytelling in shaping public understanding of the climate crisis.

The conversation examines how film, television, and culture influence climate narratives, the origins of the Healthy Planet Action Coalition, the concept of the "climate triad," and Aria's upcoming project Revolution Earth. Together, we discuss what today's climate storytelling gets right and where it falls short, while exploring how compelling narratives can inspire action, hope, and meaningful change.
