A media professional who has set up The ClimateMedia Net to encourage writers, producers and commissioning editors to develop popular content on climate change.
I started my television career at the BBC and went on to join Discovery Networks where I eventually became Senior Vice President of Discovery Networks Europe. As an Associate Fellow of the Institute for Public Policy Research I initiated the Media Leaders and Climate Change Initiative. The IPPR project inspired me to set up The Climate Media Net.
The Climate Media Net works to encourage writers, producers and commissioning editors in mainstream media - radio, television and online - to develop popular content (particularly comedy and drama) which refers to climate change in some way.
