Has direct experience of a global climate event where you live changed how you now view the climate crisis?
Perhaps you were sceptical or even denied the climate crisis before the impact of recent global climactic events.
You may have lost your home or possessions in a wildfire in the USA or Europe, or you have a mountain business impacted by glacial retreat and snow scarcity. Maybe your community, its agricultural or tourism ecosystem in parts of Asia or South America, has suffered because of floods; or perhaps the long summer heatwaves and rain-drenched winters in the UK have been life-changing.
We would like to speak to you if your experience of a climate event has changed your perception of the problem from one that did not give you cause for concern to one you are now convinced should be taken seriously.
We would also like to hear from people around the world who have changed their mind from worrying about climate change to scepticism.
