Working Class Heroes. Climate storytelling beyond the stereotype

​Does climate change have a class accent? Not in reality, but too often in the media, it’s portrayed as a stereotypical middle-class concern

​This session brings together storytellers who are reshaping the face of climate action.

​The stakes are clear: if climate remains a middle-class project, it will struggle to secure a broad mandate. If it is grounded in the realities of everyday life across all communities, it stands a chance of becoming a shared adventure.

​Speakers include:

• ​Solitaire Townsend, Chief Solutionist at Futerra

• ​Angela Francis, Director of Policy Solutions at WWF

• ​Gina Lyons, Comedian Producer at Gobby Girl Productions

• ​David Macpherson, Writer & Showrunner of Amazon Prime Video UK's 'green gothic' action thriller 'The Rig'.

• ​Fehinti Balogun, Actor and climate activist
