MEER Podcast - Rupert Read & Liam Kavanagh
In this episode of The MEER Podcast, we are joined by Rupert Read and Liam Kavanagh, co-directors of the Climate Majority Project and authors of the SAFER report. Together, they explore why climate adaptation must move from the margins to the center of climate action, how strategic adaptation can unite communities across political divides, and what it means to build a broad, inclusive “climate majority.” The conversation bridges science, psychology, policy, and practical examples of community-led resilience—offering listeners a grounded, actionable vision for adapting to a rapidly heating world.
