Welcome to my Website

I am a freelance climate communications consultant.

My approach is grounded in the belief that climate change is about politics, power, society. It’s about our relationships with each other and the world.

But ownership of the climate debate has for too long rested with privileged groups who find it easier to talk about geoengineering, decarbonisation and net zero than the day to day concerns of ordinary working people.

I help organisations turn the climate story away from high politics, global targets and big tech, and towards the hopes and fears of the working classes.
