“It's very important that we keep...creating spaces where the Global South children can share their stories and influence policies so that we can start to change that narrative and create the agency around us acting on this crisis,” says Xoli Fuyani, youth climate educator and founder of Black Girls Rising.

In this conversation we talk about connecting marginalised kids to nature, amplifying the voices of marginalized communities, and what a future defined by environment and social justice could look like.

This episode is supported by Our Kids Climate, a network of parents from across the world who are uniting to protect the kids we love from the climate crisis. Check out the links below to learn more about Our Kids Climate.

Changing The Stories We Tell Ourselves About What's Possible

“It's not about sticking our fingers in our ears and trying to block out the bad news. It's about embracing a story that is much more likely to serve us. To unlock creativity, to unlock innovation, to unlock collaboration - than some other stories that we tell ourselves” says Megan Fraser, leadership coach for climate entrepreneurs and a founding member of Climate Change Coaches.

In this conversation we talk about how we can use coaching skills (even as non-coaches!) to help us process difficult emotions around climate anxiety, build agency, and keep us all 'on the pitch' long-term.

This episode is supported by Climate Change Coaches, which sparks possibility about climate change and equips people to lead and inspire action that changes systems. Charly Cox and Sarah Flynn, part of the Climate Change Coaches team, have just released a new book: Climate Change Coaching: The Power of Connection to Create Climate Action.
