How can we demystify climate policy?
In Episode 35, we meet Emma Heilig, who discusses the challenges of making climate policy accessible, the ClimaTalk platform she co-founded, and her Journey team's plan to advocate for Doughnut Cities across Europe. Emma became involved in the sustainability scene through animal rights and her opposition to animal agriculture, and at Cambridge University, she became involved in various societies promoting more sustainable, plant-based menus on campus.
While studying her Land Economy undergraduate degree, which combines aspects of law, economics and environment, she became aware of how difficult it can be to understand climate policy when you're not involved in the area. As a result, she co-founded ClimaTalk to provide an accessible platform to explain the history, theories, agreements, and other issues of climate policy. During the TransAlpine Journey last year, her team was inspired by Amsterdam's policy commitments to become the first Doughnut City, and thought all European cities should do the same.
