  • Résumé

  • In the face of climate breakdown, we tell different stories: those of local action, connectedness and hope. We celebrate the people working together at all levels to create thriving places that are safer, healthier and more sustainable. Sparking inspiration and sharing advice that help more of us get involved and enjoy the positives. From UK charity, Carbon Copy, who brought you a national collection of climate action stories told by 1,000 local organisations from across the UK; area-specific information about our changing climate and your local Climate Action Plans; and nationwide events that bring people together.


    Our latest series, launched spring 2024 and hosted by Carbon Copy's Chief Storyteller Isabelle Sparrow is an exploration of the people behind the projects. Every fortnight, a new guest or guests will share their story, and with it their infectious passion and dedication to their cause.


    Series 2, Civic Revolution, is a short three-part audiobook about the clash between our culture and wellbeing; and the power of community to resolve this conflict. It’s a rallying cry about learning from history, mending the link between people and places, and finding hope through action. Adapted from the book ‘Civic Revolution’ and narrated by its author and Carbon Copy co-founder, Ric Casale.


    Our first series, Copy This, addressed some of the challenges – as well as celebrated the triumphs – of working together to make a really big impact in the world around us. Co-hosted by Ric Casale, and podcasting veteran Amanda Carpenter (presenter of the Planet Pod Podcast), we explored ambitious projects tackling wide-ranging climate and social issues including the degradation of natural landscapes, energy supply, food security and flood risks.

  • Bonus Episode: Nature Rising

    Bonus Episode: Nature Rising
    Nov 8 2024

    In this special bonus episode of All Nature, from the Carbon Copy Podcast, we meet Gnisha Bevan. Gnisha and co-founder Roger Griffith, MBE started the Black Seeds Network around five years ago to provide a platform for environmentalists of colour to socialise, gain support, seek opportunities, develop innovation, knowledge and expertise on environmental issues. Now, the network has joined with partners including Friends of the Earth to create a year-long programme of events and activities called “Nature Rising.” We met Gnisha via the team at the West of England Combined Authority, who have proved some funding for the Nature Rising programme and suggested we might like to learn more about the Black Seeds Network.


    Originally recorded for All Nature, Episode 4; the conversation was so interesting and engaging we decided to create this bonus episode to give you, the listeners, more of the story.

  • All Nature: Positively Buzzing

    All Nature: Positively Buzzing
    Nov 8 2024

    In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast’s All Nature series, we discover the ambitious work of the West of England Combined Authority (WECA), which hopes to make the region the UK Pollinator Capital by 2030. We hear from Sophie Spencer, Senior Environment Manager at WECA about why nature recovery and, in particular, pollinators, are such an important focus for the organisation. We learn about the Bee Bold Awards, a unique annual celebration of local groups and businesses that are doing something special for nature and we hear from some of the organisations that have received support as part of WECA’s pollinator programme: Co-forest, Middle Ground Growers, Black Seeds Network, St. Peter’s Hospice and Really Wild Lockleaze.


    “We've invested over 10 million in nature in the West of England in total. From the tiniest little pocket park, to big nature recovery projects at landscape scale. It's been really exciting, but at the same time, we know that nature needs a lot more investment. So, we've been talking to businesses, helping them understand their impacts on nature, and hoping to drive more investment into the West of England so we can achieve our ambitions. We can't do it on our own. It's about us working together”

    - Sophie Spencer

    Listen, to learn:

    • About the wide range of different organisations that have received Bee Bold Awards and why supporting pollinators is important to them.
    • More about the different environments that can support pollinator numbers – in towns, cities and in more rural settings.
    • How WECA is working with organisations to support community engagement and to promote inclusion in nature recovery projects.

  • All Nature: Nourishing Connections

    All Nature: Nourishing Connections
    Oct 18 2024

    In this episode of All Nature, from the Carbon Copy Podcast, we hear from two community organisations selected as part of the Nature Neighbourhoods programme. In Edinburgh, we meet the founders and participants in Granton Community Gardeners, a charity helping to improve access to fresh food and green space, which attracts people from a huge range of backgrounds, ages and nationalities. In Leeds we discover the Lincoln Greeners group, a weekly gardening group run by community arts organisation Mawfa Theatre. We learn how growing together is helping to overcome social isolation and is helping wellbeing for both volunteers and participants. We also speak to Nature Neighbourhoods Programme Manager Rory Crawford, of the National Trust, to understand more about how the initiative came to be, and the aims and aspirations for the three major nature organisations that lead the programme: National Trust, RSPB and WWF-UK.


    Listen to learn:


    • Why nature conservation doesn’t need to be the primary focus for urban gardening and growing projects to be beneficial.
    • How the Nature Neighbourhoods programme is empowering and supporting community organisations to keep doing what they do best at a local level.
    • What keeps participants and volunteers coming back to these inspiring projects every week.
    • How local and grassroots projects can still have a massive impact.
