In this episode, I speak with Dr Katharine Wilkinson, a bestselling author, strategist, and teacher, working to heal the planet we call home. Time magazine featured her as one of 15 “women who will save the world.”

Co-founder of the All We Can Save project, Dr Wilkinson’s work focuses on storytelling, education, community building, and nurturing the leaderful climate community we need for a life-giving future. In our conversation, we talk about how we arrived at this moment, what needs to happen to drive lasting change, and how you can be a climate leader no matter your background or profession. As Dr Wilkinson has said, "the only credential that is needed is to be alive on this planet in this moment.”

Some topics we cover include:

How “The Grandmother of Climate Science” was lost to history after her work was credited to a man
The important intersection of feminism and climate leadership
Why equity isn't just secondary to survival, but it is survival
The current reality of global warming and climate change
The solutions - technology, policies, storytelling, leadership equity
Ways to ensure justice is embedded in the solutions
How the All We Can Save project is helping to change the climate leadership landscape

And more!
