Helen Meech heads up The Climate Coalition, a membership organisation that lobbies for action on nature and climate.
The group was established in 2005 based on the core belief that people are powerful especially when they get together. So collective action is at the heart of all of their strategies. Every campaign, event and report they produce is designed to push our political leaders to act in making climate and nature a top priority.
Nature’s central to Helen’s CV, with a career working for the National Trust, RSPB, Rewilding Britain, Wildlife Trust and The Oak Project.
Now at The Climate Coalition Helen is involved in multiple campaigns to galvanize collective action like the Great Big Green Week held every summer. She says that people coming together to act for the future is “not just popular, it’s essential”.
In this episode, she talks about where her love of nature comes from, how she pushes leaders to make change and the importance of joy.
