Parents for Future with Charlotte Howell

<p>The idea of 'activism' can be off putting and perhaps a little daunting for many of us. If that's you, then do listen in to my chat with Charlotte Howell, one of the co-Directors of Parents for Future, a growing group of parents navigating the climate crisis together, campaigning on national and local issues to secure a safer, fairer world for children everywhere.<br />I’ve been following Charlotte for ages on social media, and I wanted to get her on the podcast to share more about Parents for Future and the work that they’re doing, because I think it’s such a brilliant way for us all (because despite the name, it’s not just for parents) to engage in ‘activism’ in a way that works for us. It’s a really inclusive way to dip your toes in and join together with other people, all working towards the same goal of a safe future for our kids and kids all around the world. <br /><br /><b>USEFUL LINKS:</b></p><ul><li>Parents For Future</li></ul><p>-              <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://parentsforfuture.org.uk/" target="_blank">Website</a></p><p>-              <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/parentsforfuture_uk" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p>-              <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/ParentsForFutureUK/" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><p>-              <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@ParentsforFutureUK" target="_blank">You Tube</a> – you can find the comedy sketches on here (and on socials)</p><p>-              <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://parentsforfuture.org.uk/join-our-community/" target="_blank">Join the community</a></p><ul><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlotte-howell-3229114/" target="_blank">Charlotte Howell on Linked In</a></li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/2018/" target="_blank">UN 2018 report on climate – Global Warming of 1.5C</a></li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reading.ac.uk/news/2026/Research-News/UK-forecast-to-reach-45C-by-2056" target="_blank">Reading Uni/Met Office/Parents for Future event – forecast for 2056</a></li></ul><p> </p><p><b>Related episodes:</b></p><ul><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://pod.link/1383805328/episode/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXN1c3RhaW5hYmxlbGlmZS5jby51ay8_cD03MjY3NQ" target="_blank">Money money money with Lisa Stanley-Mann</a></li><li> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://pod.link/1383805328/episode/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXN1c3RhaW5hYmxlbGlmZS5jby51ay8_cD03MjkyOQ" target="_blank">Everyday influencers with Sam Hampton</a></li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://pod.link/1383805328/episode/NWZkMTVjY2ItNzA0OS00MDIxLTlhODYtNDJiZTNlZWJiNDA1" target="_blank">Hosting a People’s Emergency Briefing</a></li><li> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://pod.link/1383805328/episode/Yzk3MzgzMmItZTU0ZC00NjdmLTlhZTgtYjg4MTk0ZmE1MTBh" target="_blank">7 acts to save the world with Hugh Montgomery</a><br /> <br />Do let me know if you’re already a member, or if you’re now going to give them a follow, or join up!
