We Are Resilience with Sophie Kirtley

When science meets storytelling, something magical happens.

Climate science can often feel abstract, complex, or inaccessible. But when those same ideas are translated through stories and art, they become personal and relatable. From a picture book to a film, creative storytelling evokes emotion — a universal language that connects people of all ages and backgrounds.

In this episode, Phil sits down with award-winning children’s author and poet Sophie Kirtley to discuss her recent collaboration with JBA and how creativity and the arts can be a powerful tool for engaging people with climate resilience.
