So Hot Right Now

“To save the world we need to change the story. Nature and the climate are in crisis. To survive we must use our most powerful tool - communication. Telling these stories can be difficult and dangerous. But done right they can change the world. Join environmental journalist Lucy Siegle (The Guardian, The One Show) and wildlife filmmaker Tom Mustill (Greta Thunberg/#NatureNow & BBC Natural History Unit) as they learn how to communicate better, from those who do it best. Legendary broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, former president of Ireland Mary Robinson, singer and activist Ellie Goulding, UN climate negotiator Christiana Figueres, Native American Veteran and Organizer Krystal Two-Bulls, and other master communicators all share their hard-earned insights. Informal, personal and passionate, these conversations will give you the tools to play your part, whether you’re phoning your dad, or addressing the United Nations”

In Conversation: A Listening Series on Climate Justice & Collective Liberation

We will be releasing episodes that feature activists and organizers from front line communities most impacted by climate crises to talk about how our collective fight for climate justice can help us build and move towards climate resilient communities. We will explore questions including: How are movements for black freedom, queer liberation, immigrant justice, and indigenous sovereignty connected to our fight for climate justice? How do we make sure that communities on the front lines aren’t left out of climate solution-making? How do we ensure that our movements aren’t perpetuating structural systems of oppression? What do we envision when we dream our biggest dreams about a world where we are able to truly thrive?
