In this episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I sit down with Sangeeta Waldron, a communications professional and author of What Will Your Legacy Be?, to explore how our personal choices and narratives shape the climate fight.

We cover a lot of ground. Sangeeta shares how her time in the Himalayas revealed the harsh realities of climate change and sparked her lifelong commitment. We also dig into how indigenous knowledge can fill crucial gaps in scientific data, and how personal actions and systemic change go hand in hand.

A standout point for me was Sangeeta’s insistence that our climate legacy starts much earlier than we think – as soon as we’re old enough to make informed decisions. She also challenges us to rethink the role of media in the climate debate, exposing the risks of misinformation and greenwashing.

Another highlight? The idea that hope and optimism, not just grief, can drive climate action. I found this especially relevant in a world flooded with doomsday narratives.

We wrap up with a powerful reminder: even small daily actions can add up. As Sangeeta puts it, reconnecting with nature - even briefly - is a simple but potent step.

Tune in to hear how storytelling, personal responsibility and collective will can move the needle on climate. And let me know your thoughts, are you seeing the same challenges and solutions in your corner of the climate conversation?
