Hello, I'm Jama, and welcome to Good Influence.

This is the podcast where each week you and I meet a guest

will help us pay attention to something we should know about,

as well as answer some of your questions.

This week we're talking about climate action. A refresher on what climate change means,

the power of emotion to inspire action and why our individual

contributions matter so much.

So joining me this week is Jack Harries.

Jack is a documentary filmmaker, photographer and activist.

After starting his YouTube channel Jack's Gap at age 18 to document his gap year,

Jack alongside with the twin brother Finn built up an audience of over 4 million

subscribers, and Jack has since used his platform to raise awareness around the issues of

mental health, fourth migration and the environment. He's a co-founder of Earthrise Studio, a new online community

and youth-led media company dedicated to communicating the climate crisis.

The whole point of the podcast for me is to kind of take these things that I think

people need to be talking about and people need to know about and you know make it accessible through you know just

me learning through a conversation with someone.

A 100% I think what you're doing is so so important and I thought it was really interesting that you wrote that in your email that most people just want to know what is climate change.

I think that's the same for many of these. There are so many different issues aren't there that young people have to sort of contend with these days.

And I think to go on that journey with someone, like yourself, of learning about it,

and it helps other people to sort of come on that journey too.

So I wanted to start if that's all right because I've actually recorded a couple of podcast episodes already that are on kind of climate adjacent topics.
