Local Climate Heroes with Project Drawdown

There are climate heroes everywhere among us, but few get the public attention they deserve. Matt Scott, director of storytelling and engagement at Project Drawdown, has been shining a light on the work of such people in cities across the country in his documentary short series “Drawdown’s Neighborhood.”

In Atlanta, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, the San Francisco Bay Area and more, Scott lifts up underrepresented voices of those working directly in their communities on climate issues. This week, we feature some of those voices.

Guests:

Matt Scott, Director of Storytelling & Engagement, Project Drawdown

Grace Anderson, Founder, The Lupine Collaborative

Ashia Ajani, Storyteller, Climate Justice Educator, Mycelium Youth Network
