MIKAELA LOACH: active hope in the climate crisis
When she was 16, Mikaela Loach decided to go vegan, boycott fast fashion and start a blog. She learned more about the climate crisis, became involved in the movement, and began to communicate her passion to others. Mikaela’s Instagram following grew and, in 2020, she featured in the Woman’s Hour Power List, in recognition for her work, bringing environmental issues to young audiences. She has now written, It’s Not That Radical, a book for anyone who’s felt anxiety or powerlessness in the face of the climate crisis. Mikaela wants to compel her reader to act and to understand more about racial justice - a principle she believes has been left out of the conversation for too long. She and Jon met on the day the IPCC released a major report, an eight-year long undertaking from the world’s most authoritative scientific body on climate change. That report summarised that there is a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all.
