In this, the final episode of the series, hosts Isabelle and Bradley are joined by author and activist Mya-Rose Craig (AKA Birdgirl) and Emma River-Roberts to discuss how to make climate and nature action truly inclusive, and why it matters. We learn about Mya-Rose's organisation Black2Nature and the work she is doing to introduce her love of the outdoors to young people of colour; and we discover how personal experience led to Emma creating the Working Class Climate Alliance, to help more people of different class backgrounds into the climate conversation.
