Complexity science allows people to understand the relationships among ever-changing interconnected elements through what is called systems change. Society continually sees the difficulty of solving complex problems, whether it is an end to global conflicts, pandemics or climate change.
Ultimately, systemic stories help people comprehend complex issues and create accessible frameworks to make decisions and act. According to researchers Elise Talgorn and Monique Hendricks, systemic stories offer “parallel storylines that intersect to represent an interpretation of a system.”Īs professors focused on environmental education, we use storytelling as a tool to communicate the complexity of the climate emergency in university courses and international workshops. One tool that can help consumers navigate this complexity is an approach called systemic storytelling. Making the decision to buy an EV shows how climate change and its solutions are complex systems. There are many interconnected factors to consider, including the cost, what model to choose, whether there’s adequate charging infrastructure, if the timing is right and what its environmental impact might be.
Despite learning that climate change is hitting the planet faster than scientists predicted, society has been slow to decrease the use of fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.įor a consumer, for instance, making the switch to an electric vehicle (EV) is a difficult decision.
