The Scale of Hope

​

Molly Kawahata on climate, climbing and the fight for systemic change.

​

As a former climate advisor to the Obama White House and an ice climber with dreams of climbing steep mountains, Molly has dedicated her life to taking on seemingly insurmountable challenges. But it’s her intimate battle with mental health that gives her a profound understanding of how to harness the power of the human mind to create change. “The Scale of Hope” follows Molly as she sets out on an expedition into the Alaska Range while working to create a new climate narrative that centers her favorite question – “What can I do to help?” – with a surprising answer. It’s a story about struggle, hope, and what it will take to solve the greatest issue of our time.
