Force of Nature

Clover Hogan has been on the planet 24 years, and spent the past 13 working to save it. She believes it’s possible. She also believes that the threat even greater than climate change is how powerless we feel to stop it. In Season 3, Clover invites us behind the scenes of what it’s really like to be a climate activist. You’re going to hear from activists on the stuff that doesn’t get talked about, like burnout, getting cancelled and the ethical compromises of making money. And even what it’s like to alienate friends and family. Over the season, we hope to find some answers: namely, what activism can look like when it's more open, honest and human. Make sure to stick around to the end of each episode, when our guests spill their climate confessions. Listen to this podcast if you’re anxious that the future will be a dystopian blockbuster. If you know the solution is bigger than buying another reusable coffee cup. And if you want to make a difference but don’t know where to start. After all, we don't need 100 perfect activists - but millions of imperfect ones.

Are we both a member of the human family? and at least to that question we can always answer a resounding yes” - Christiana Figueres “It’s not about providing the facts to a head of state, but about providing the facts and the culture and the hope to people everywhere to then be empowered to change, to rise, to build power that challenges the status quo.” - Luisa Neubauer Follow Christiana: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cfigueres/ Website: http://christianafigueres.com/#/ Follow Luisa: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luisaneubauer/ Resources Follow Force of Nature on: Instagram: (@forceofnature.xyz) https://force-of-nature.captivate.fm/instagram  Twitter: (@fon_xyz)  https://force-of-nature.captivate.fm/twitter  TikTok: (@forceofnature.xyz) https://www.tiktok.com/@forceofnature.xyz  LinkedIn: https://force-of-nature.captivate.fm/linkedin Aged 16-35?
