Climate change - the media challenge
Date: 16th October 2025
Time: 10 – 11:30
Location: ODI Global, 4 Millbank, London, SW1P 3LL
With COP30 approaching, this event will dissect how the research community, media and civil society communicate the challenge of climate change and continue to work towards low-carbon, climate-resilient development.
We will be asking:
- Does the media need to shift its approach to communicating climate change?
- How does civil society continue to advocate for change? Is traditional media still a player?
- How does COP adapt to the absence of one of the world’s largest emitters?
Our panel will consist of:
- Sarah Colenbrander, director climate and sustainability programme, ODI Global
- Patrick Greenfield biodiversity and environment reporter, The Guardian
- Nicky Hawkins, consultant, Climate Outreach
- Matt McGrath environment correspondent, BBC News
- Laura Paddison, senior climate reporter, CNN
- Adam Vaughan environment editor, The Times
