This summer, Cambridge Zero’s Rosa Prosser produced six short films which showcase current and future careers necessary to achieve net-zero by 2050. Each episode is organised by theme, highlighting roles ranging from nature-based solutions to public policy. This diversity of roles showcases the breadth of opportunity to apply skills from across disciplines to achieve net-zero. In their entirety, they make a compelling case for holistically including all sectors in finding workable solutions to the climate crisis, and reframing employment as a site for young people to express their agency, and work for a future they wish to believe in, and ultimately inhabit.
The series features interviews with many leading figures in the fight against climate change, including Caroline Lucas, a Green Party MP for Brighton Pavilion, Nigel Topping, the UK’s High-Level Climate Action Champion, William Baldwin-Cantello, Director of Nature-Based Solutions at WWF-UK, and Mya-Rose Craig (popularly known as ‘Birdgirl’) a prominent British-Bangladeshi ornithologist, environmentalist, and diversity activist.
