Leigh has been a very important member of the Climactic community since Mark met her at an event in Melbourne. Her focus on scaleable solutions, and the way she keeps her finger on the pulse of the promising developments happening around the world, are a big inspiration to the Climactic team. It was Leigh that introduced us to Project Drawdown, the most comprehensive plan to reverse global warming, which has really opened our eyes to where we should be focusing our efforts.

Leigh is an absolute wealth of knowledge, and her passion is contagious, so we know you'll love this episode.
