Jukebox from The Miracle Inn

Emma River-Roberts is founder and director of the Working Class Climate Alliance, a not-for-profit membership organisation which trains and advises organisations on social class and climate change. The WCCA works with academics, campaigners and civil society groups across the world to put class at the centre of their climate work.

In this second episode of the Jukebox podcast, Emma highlights the importance of making the climate movement more inclusive of working-class communities, stresses the need to challenge class inequalities and the opportunities to build collective power through community connections, and reflects on the emotional toll the climate crisis is taking on us as it unfolds.

Jukebox is a podcast by The Miracle Inn, hosted by Dr Morgan Phillips. On the Jukebox podcast we ask each guest to choose three songs they'd put on The Miracle Inn jukebox if they were ever to visit. The songs are a starting point for a conversation about their work and their ideas, but we also get to know them a little bit more too.

The Miracle Inn is a community interest company and membership organisation focused on tackling the phenomenon of hyper-individualism.

For the last four decades we have been urged, as individuals, to 'live green', to be a 'green consumer'. The theory of change we have been sold is this: if enough individuals adopt green lifestyles the planet will be 'saved'. It is a story told to us by brands, politicians, NGOs, and celebrities. Many of us will have told this story ourselves too, to friends, colleagues, family members and, if environmentalism is our profession, our audiences. But what if it isn't true? What if the focus on individual acts of environmental stewardship is a distraction from what really needs to happen. In this first episode of the Jukebox podcast, Professor Michael Maniates asks us to think again about why we choose to live green.
