What happens when you trade corporate success for climate advocacy? For Liz Courtney, award-winning filmmaker responsible for 55 climate documentaries, it began with a crucial "sliding door moment" – choosing courage over fear to join an Antarctic expedition despite her doubts. That decision launched an extraordinary career documenting climate systems across the globe, from dog sledding across Greenland's melting ice sheets to researching atmospheric microbes in Antarctica.
Liz shares her profound insights on effective climate communication, developed through collaborations with leading scientists worldwide. She's identified that successful science communication requires simplification, relatable analogies, connecting research to local impacts, and showing how data can drive better planning. Her experience reveals how sustainability professionals can bridge the gap between complex environmental science and everyday understanding, making climate issues accessible and actionable for broader audiences.
