Shefali and One Resilient Earth co-founder, Anshul Mathar, discuss their individual paths behind their earlier post “The nexus of art and climate change”, which discusses the value of art and science in building regenerative resilience for individuals and communities in the face of environmental and climate change, and how they arrived at this point. They hope that their stories further illustrate how diverse backgrounds and skills have a significant role to play in addressing some of the major challenges that face our society.

As climate change and related environmental challenges continue to mount, those closest to the work, scientists and organizations devoted to understanding the impact and developing solutions, face “eco grief”. Shefali, and One Resilient Earth co-founder, Anshul Mathar, write about how to combat this using art and photography to develop solutions and help communities adapt and thrive.
