In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast, recorded at the launch event for our new report: “From Footprint to Changeprint,” we explore the key characteristics and success factors shared by high-impact place-based initiatives from across the UK. Hosted by Carbon Copy trustee and Eunomia consultant Izzy Williamson, the episode delves into the methodology behind the research, reveals some of the key findings; and spotlights examples from some of the participants whose organisations supported the study.

Listen now to:

• Learn what we mean by a Changeprint, and why we think this new way of talking about impact could spark inspiration.
• Gain insight into the 12 success factors of local climate action, and how they work together within three broader characteristics.
• Hear about some of the high-impact projects involved in the research, and how the success factors and characteristics relate to their work.
• Discover how to access the report and guide, and how this could help you and your organisation grow a bigger Changeprint.

In this special one-off episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast, Head of Communications and podcast host Isabelle Sparrow chats to Carbon Copy co-founder and Trustee, Ric Casale about the charity’s exciting new concept: Changeprint.

Every action leaves a Changeprint. A Changeprint is the collective impact created when people join with others to make something happen. It’s visible proof that collaboration works and that local climate action improves daily life. A Changeprint isn’t the project itself. It’s the sum of all the good it generates: stronger connections, healthier environments, shared learning, local pride and a growing sense of belonging. Where a carbon footprint measures what we take away, a Changeprint shows what we can build together.

Listen or watch now, to hear why Carbon Copy is launching Changeprint now, and how it will help more people turn their concern for climate and nature into collective impact.

In this, the final episode of the series, hosts Isabelle and Bradley are joined by author and activist Mya-Rose Craig (AKA Birdgirl) and Emma River-Roberts to discuss how to make climate and nature action truly inclusive, and why it matters. We learn about Mya-Rose's organisation Black2Nature and the work she is doing to introduce her love of the outdoors to young people of colour; and we discover how personal experience led to Emma creating the Working Class Climate Alliance, to help more people of different class backgrounds into the climate conversation.

Listen now to hear:

• The origin story of Black2Nature – the charity Mya-Rose Craig started aged just 13!
• Emma’s top tips for helping to break down barriers for people of working class backgrounds.
• How social justice and tackling the climate and nature crises are inextricably linked.
• How tailoring activities and language to different people can help make climate action feel relevant to everyone.
