How to campaign for the climate

Episode 119,   May 16, 2023, 04:00 AM

Climate change is a process that affects all life on Earth, and many charities are working hard to defend humans, animals, and other life from harm as it progresses. Campaigning is one method these organisations can use to do so.

Although 89% of organisations regard campaigning as a vital way to achieve their mission, many don’t “feel free” to speak out, due to fear of public backlash, fear of political backlash, fear of breaking rules, and fear of losing funding.

In this podcast, join our content writers, Ioan Marc Jones, Laura Stanley, and Josie Sparling to discuss the purpose of campaigning, examples of successful climate campaigns, and what we have learnt in the process of our own Climate Action Campaign.
