The Climate Champs project has been in operation since 2021, giving businesses, organisations, schools, and groups volunteer speakers to visit them, in person or online, and present on Climate change and living a more sustainable life. We call this volunteer team The Climate Champions. We’ll be sharing profiles of each of our different volunteer Champs to learn more about what makes them tick and how their time with Sustainable St Albans is helping them increase our district’s understanding of the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Meet Philip, an almost-retired Process Safety & Risk Consultant with a keen interest in the science of climate change.
Philip has been involved with environmental and conservation charities for some years: he is also a volunteer speaker for A Rocha and is the editor of our monthly newsletter. Becoming a Climate Champ seemed like a natural choice to give him another outlet to speak to groups about climate change.
And now that’s he’s a champ, what does he like most about it? ‘The opportunity and challenge of speaking to different groups on a subject about which I’m both knowledgeable and passionate.’
For those just starting on a sustainable journey Philip recommends that you look at what you can do, don’t worry about what you can’t or aren’t (perhaps yet) willing to do. There are plenty of ideas out there about what you can do to get started.
Climate Champions are available at no cost to speak with your organisation, group, school, business or friends. If you’d like to book a visit or find out more, please email us here.
