A GLOSSARY OF HOPE

Grounded Hope

Grounded Hope is rooted in the realities of the challenges we face, rather than wishful, Pollyanna fantasies. It invites us to be aware of the multiple factors that can have an influence and requires us to work towards creating positive changes within those constraints.

Grounded hope has been embraced by the climate movement and was a key theme in Rebecca Solnit’s book Hope in. It is also used widely in health and medical settings.
