In this episode of the Climate Confident Podcast, I’m joined by Michael Sheldrick, co-founder of Global Citizen. Michael shares his journey from grassroots activism in Australia to spearheading a global movement that champions systemic solutions to poverty and climate change. His approach as a policy entrepreneur, prioritising actionable and strategic advocacy, underscores the episode's core message: significant, lasting change requires more than just temporary fixes.

We delve into the mechanics behind Global Citizen's success in mobilising millions for change, focusing on the importance of setting clear, measurable goals and engaging with policymakers in a meaningful way. Michael also discusses his new book, "From Ideas to Impact," offering insights into influencing and implementing policy in a divided world. This book acts as a playbook for those looking to make a difference beyond just awareness, providing practical steps towards achieving impactful policy changes.

Towards the end, Michael directs listeners to further resources and ways to engage with the issues discussed.
