40:59 Jan 23, 2026
About this episode
Join us for a training that will begin to explore the first training in CCL's BRIDGE Advocacy Program. In this session, we’ll take a deeper look at how all of us arrive at decisions and form beliefs, using insights from behavioral science. We’ll explore why intuition and emotion usually come first, and how reasoning often follows to justify those initial reactions, and why this matters for our climate advocacy. Our focus will eb on self-awareness as a foundation for stronger, more respectful climate advocacy across differences.
