Abstract
People, when confronted with the reality of unemployment or the inability to pay rent, are unlikely to devote mental energy to the climate change debate and the fundamental changes that may lie ahead. We have to frame these issues in ways that make sense to a beleaguered public; in other words, we need to project the kind of society we want, in which life would be better for everyone.
Keywords: sustainability, unemployment, climate change
