Coffee & Geography

Special #ClimateAmbassdors mini-series! Learn more about the scheme and get to know each of the England regional teams. Joining Kit Marie from the Yorkshire & Humber hub is Zoe Gilbank, talking about California’s redwoods, road tripping, access to green spaces for women, and more! Zoe was born in Leeds and has lived there ever since all through school and during university. She studied Human Geography at the University of Leeds and have gone on to work in various sustainability related roles relating to mental health, student engagement and climate education. Zoe’s joy in life comes from being outdoors in nature, whether that's running, hiking, walking or swimming in the sea. She was lucky enough to travel with her family from a young age which has developed into a deep love of exploring the world and experiencing other cultures and environments, especially on road trips!
