Let’s meet our guest…
Meet Leah: Leah is the Anton Vonk Associate Professor of Environmental Politics in the Department of Political Science, and is also affiliated with the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management and the Environmental Studies Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). Among SO many other accolades, in 2022 alone Leah was named an advocate on TIME100 Next, and as one of Business Insider’s top 30 global leaders working toward climate solutions. Wow. She’s also the award-winning author of Short Circuiting Policy, co-host of the A Matter of Degrees podcast, and senior policy advisor for Rewiring America and Evergreen Action.
In Jason’s words, Leah is a ‘combination of pragmatic, progressive, commercial minded, activism minded, academic minded, scientific minded, all kind of blended into one powerhouse of a woman’.
Our AMA with Leah will start on Wednesday 2nd November at 9am PST 12pm EST 6pm GMT and run asynchronously in this channel for 24 hours.
In Leah’s episode with Jason, they cover:
Leah’s climate journey to the work she’s doing today
Her Theory of Change and how it’s evolved over time
The barriers holding the climate transition back, and the levers we can pull to facilitate the transition
Her feelings toward fossil fuel company executives and the impacts of their denial campaign
The role of the West vs. the rest of the world
…and so much more!
Ahead of the AMA, you can also check out Leah’s website, her video chat with Project Drawdown on ‘The Case for Climate Policy’ and her Twitter profile.
