Forging Resilience offers tools for public libraries and museums to educate their communities on climate science and the effects that carbon pollution will have on their communities. This week, we spoke with the director Chandra Middleton about the project. For a transcript, please visit climatebreak.org/forging-resilience-with-chandra-middleton/

While headlines often focus on climate disruption, a quieter story of tangible action is unfolding worldwide. Climate Break, from the researchers at Berkeley Law, focuses squarely on that narrative of solutions. Each concise episode, always under two minutes, introduces you to the people and projects making a difference right now. You’ll hear directly from scientists in the field, policy innovators crafting new regulations, and entrepreneurs developing practical technologies. This podcast moves past the overwhelming scale of the problem to highlight specific, working examples of progress. The conversations span from local initiatives in California to global efforts, all grounded in the intersecting realms of science, policy, and natural systems. Tuning in offers a regular, manageable dose of insight into how communities, companies, and citizens are actively reshaping our approach to the planet’s most pressing challenge. It’s a resource for anyone seeking a clearer understanding of the actionable ideas emerging from the front lines of climate response.
