SDG 13 is 'Climate Action' - Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
In this episode Kate Hutchinson is joined by Clover Hogan and Areeba Hamid - two women of great influence within the environmental sector - to address the subject of climate action head-on.
Clover is a 24-year-old climate activist and the founding Executive Director of Force of Nature - a youth non-profit mobilising mindsets for climate action. Areeba Hamid is co-leader of Greenpeace, one of the world's most important campaigning groups on eco matters.
This episode, recorded at Yorkshire Sustainability Week in July 2023, is a passionate and insightful exploration of where we genuinely are on climate change right now... and what can actually, practically be done to make a positive difference at global, national, regional and individual levels.
If you feel that climate change is too big for you to contend with and it's too late to make a difference, then don't despair... but do listen to this episode.
Clover reveals fascinating insights on how it's in the interests of the big fossil fuel companies to put the responsibility for climate action back on us... and Areeba makes the point that those in power who could force change are actually a tiny number of people who we can influence.
This episode is shocking at times - it lays bare the scale of the challenge and danger facing the planet - but it is also optimistic and practical. You will come away feeling empowered that there are things you can do right now to have a voice, lead change and take action on climate.
