Talking Climate Across the Aisle with Kathleen Biggins, Founder of C-Change Conversations

In this episode, we’re joined by Kathleen Biggins, founder and president of C-Change Conversations, a nonprofit committed to fostering non-partisan, science-based conversations about climate change. Kathleen shares her journey from journalism and healthcare to climate communication and how she and her bipartisan team developed the acclaimed C-Change Primer—an accessible, apolitical introduction to climate science that’s been presented to over 20,000 people across 32 states.

We explore why bridging political divides is essential for meaningful climate action, how to talk about climate change around the kitchen table, and ways to engage skeptics using shared values like health, safety, and economic well-being. Kathleen also shares personal stories and examples from the Primer series that inspire understanding and action—even in the most polarized spaces. With a 90%+ consensus rate across audiences, C-Change proves that inclusive, solutions-oriented conversations can move the needle.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to talk climate without the conflict.
