Drawing on decades of work with communities around the world, Jan shares why we don't need to have all the answers to begin making a difference. He discusses the connection between Zen and science, the wisdom of local communities, adaptive management, and how we can work with climate anxiety by returning to the present moment and responding to what's needed.
