Our Green Ink Meet the Author discussion of the book Growing Papaya Trees: Nurturing Indigenous Roots During Climate Displacement with Dr. Jessica Hernandez. In Growing Papaya Trees, Dr. Hernandez shares how the impacts of colonial climate catastrophe — from warming oceans to forced displacement of settler ontologies — can only be addressed at the root if we reorient toward Indigenous science and follow the lead of Indigenous peoples and communities. Growing Papaya Trees explores: • Energy as a sociopolitical issue • The interconnectedness of natural disasters, sociopolitical turmoil, and forced migration • Our oceans, our forests, and our Indigenous futures • Moving Indigenous science from mere acknowledgement into real action • How to nourish Indigenous roots when displaced beyond borders

We were honoured to host a powerful conversation with award-winning author, visionary thinker, and Accidental Gods podcast host Manda Scott as part of the Climate Reality Project Canada’s Green Ink Book Club series. Together, we explored the deep themes behind her latest novel, Any Human Power: a bold and timely work of climate fiction that weaves together ancestral responsibility, political resistance, collective action, and the radical power of dreaming. In this rich dialogue, Manda shares her personal journey into climate and decolonial work, and how it led to the creation of a story that challenges us to imagine and create a more livable, just, and connected world. 📖Learn more about Any Human Power: https://mandascott.co.uk/any-human-power/ 🌍 Hosted by Climate Reality Project Canada 🎙️ Part of our ongoing conversations on climate, creativity, and collective change: climatereality.ca/greenink

Recorded May 5, 2025. Thank you to all you joined us for a special edition of the Green Ink Book Club in conversation with author Dr. Elizabeth Sawin on Multisolving: Creating Systems Change in a Fractured World, moderated by Vernice Miller-Travis. How can we combat the climate crisis? By tackling the issue from multiple angles at once. Dr. Beth Sawin is a leading systems thinker and coined the term multisolving. By using a single investment of time or money to solve many problems simultaneously you are multisolving. While the idea of killing two birds with one stone (or “filling two needs with one deed”) is age-old, and the notion of co-benefits in policymaking has been around for years, Multisolving addresses the current mismatch between complex, deeply intertwined societal issues and our siloed approach to them. We are honoured to be joined by moderator Vernice Miller-Travis, one of the nation’s pioneers, leading experts, and most respected thought leaders on environmental justice. The Green Ink Book Club is an initiative of Climate Reality Canada. Find out more about upcoming events at :

Join us for our conversation with Osprey Orielle Lake, the founder and executive director of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN), about her recently released book The Story is in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis (published by New Society Publishers).
