In this episode, host Chantal Kerr-Sheppard is joined by Professor Denise Baden from the University of Southampton, who shares her approach to communicating climate change and sustainability beyond the "green echo chambers." Professor Baden explains how she transitioned from academia to public-facing work through the Green Stories Project, which aims to integrate sustainable behaviors into mainstream fiction, such as romance novels or thrillers. By subtly embedding sustainability in relatable contexts, she seeks to normalize eco-friendly choices, like opting for second-hand fashion or reducing food waste.
