Earlier this year, I attended an event hosted by the Kilian Jornet Foundation and the outdoor brand, Normal where world-known mountain athletes shared the ways they are reducing their environmental impact and the impacts of climate change.

The event's MC and today’s guest was Huw James; an adventurer, filmmaker, and science communicator. Huw has dedicated his life to inspiring positive actions in the fight against climate change. Huw believes that one of the answers to tackling the climate crisis is to educate children from a young age so that they develop a love for the natural world. 

Huw’s latest project, The "Athlete Climate Academy Podcast." brings together athletes from all corners of the globe, uniting them in the mission to tackle climate change head-on.

Today, Huw is giving us a quick lesson in Climate Change 101 and then we’ll dive deeper into the importance of climate education in young people and the connection between the athletes who spend their days adventuring in the mountains and their efforts to save those most treasured spaces.
