Conversations on Creative Climate Leadership
Conversations on Creative Climate Leadership is a new podcast from Julie’s Bicycle centering stories from our global community of Creative Climate Leaders who champion the role of culture in climate activism. Our hosts musician and zoologist Louis VI and JB’s Climate Justice Lead Farah Ahmed talk with some of our Creative Climate Leadership alumni who have generously shared their personal insights on navigating the climate crisis and creatively leading transformative change. Over six episodes we’ll unpack important questions around belonging, communication, creative activism and how to lead courageously with care.
Big thanks to our funders and partners who have supported the work of the Creative Climate Leadership network and the making of this podcast: Pro Helvetia and Stiftung Mercator Schweiz for CCL Switzerland; as well as the European Cultural Foundation's Culture of Solidarity Fund, and Porticus. And a thanks to our host Louis VI, member of Earth Percent - the music industry’s climate foundation, who support JB’s work on climate action with the music community.
