Recently I heard environmentalist economist and author of Doughnut Economics, Kate Raworth, speak (she joined us for our Rebel Book Club April meet up). She mentioned that she attended a recent youth climate strike in Rome, and took photos of her favourite placards during the day. When she got home and took a look back through the photos to decide which to post to her Twitter, she realised that all of the photos she’d taken were of girls. Of course, in recent months this has been embodied by schoolgirl Greta Thunberg as she has become a leading figure in communicating climate change. So, where are all the men when it comes to tackling climate change?
