A vibrant new imagination is currently emerging of a different, sustainable future. Fighting for this future means repairing environmental and social damage, and also repairing our hearts and minds damaged by our current culture of uncare. Understanding the toxic effects of this culture is crucial for change, as without this understanding we are in danger of imagining the future with blind, disaffected or despairing eyes.
Sally Weintrobe practices as a psychoanalyzt and is a Fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society. She has written and talked extensively on how to understand what underlies our widespread disavowal of climate change. Her current writing is on the culture of uncare that drives the disavowal, a culture she argues is at war with our bedrock capacity to care for the environment and for each other.
