While our new climate reality may make us feel it is impossible to solve, Woody Chan argues that this is not the case. Having experienced the same helplessness, he shares how how overcame it while working at China Water Risk, which evolved from a vision to a cutting edge think tank in 7 years. Woody goes through some “reach-for-the-sky” ideas to tackle climate change, from 3D printing steaks and capturing cow farts to slowing down fashion. Born in Hong Kong, Woody Chan graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2016 with a BA in Geography. Concerned with the extent and effects of wastewater discharge in China, the topic of his dissertation, he joined China Water Risk, an NGO that raises ecological awareness via various means, including collaborating with researching agencies as well as providing ecological and financial consultancy to industrial magnates. Currently, Woody hopes to use his multifaceted skills to help tackle the water & climate risks from a business and financial perspective.

What’s your superpower? Angela Francis believes that hers might be being a mixed race economist who grew up in Derby - something that gives her a unique perspective when it comes to tackling climate change. A passionate environmentalist, Angela sees that the key to overcoming the climate challenges we face is proving to the public that transitioning to a green economy can change their lives for the better right now. Rather than trying to edge the environment to the top of a priority list already overloaded with Brexit, healthcare, crime and the economy, Angela argues that we must focus on how policy for the environment has the power to deliver real solutions to the problems people are already dealing with. Only by engaging with broader conversations about the kind of country we want to be will the environmental sector be able to design policies that a farmer in Cumbria or a factory worker in Derby will get behind. Angela Francis started as an accountant in the energy industry before moving into economic development where she has worked for the last 18 years. Throughout her career, she has always found ways to focus on how our human systems – energy, production, consumption, transport and planning – need to change to come into line with our planetary ones. After finding her home in the environmental advocacy sector, Angela is now Chief Advisor on Economics and Economic Development at WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature). She provides economic advice across the climate, food and biodiversity programmes, as well as leading on trade and industrial policy for a green transition.
