About this episode

Climate justice activist Mikaela Loach advocates for environmental justice, racial justice, sustainable fashion, and fights human rights issues. Along with her fearless attitude, Mikaela has been hailed as a leading influencer in the climate change crisis, in 2019 she even took the government to court for using taxpayers money to fund North Sea oil and gas companies supported by the environmental non profit Uplift and the Paid to Pollute campaign. Triumphant, Mikaela forced the government to admit in court that they had given these tax breaks.


Titled a “joyful game changer” by Cosmopolitan, Mikaela is now taking the internet by storm, launching and co-hosting the Yikes! podcast which breaks down the world’s issues in an easy way to guide everyone towards action together. She is also a recent bestselling author of ‘It's Not That Radical: Climate Action To Transform Our World’ which gives the public easy, accessible options in moving forward the climate change movement.


In this episode we give a spotlight into the climate change crisis, why it’s important to stand up for what you believe and Mikaela comes armed with the do’s and don'ts.
