Climate Live: Crochet Sharing Circle

Anaïs Daly-Gourdialsing 

Anaïs’s passion for climate justice stems from her scientific research and advocacy work. She’s worked with the Ella Roberta Family Foundation, advocating for clean air and raising awareness about the devastating health impacts of air pollution, both London wide and internationally. This work has deepened her understanding of how environmental injustice, science and public health are interconnected. 

Beyond her research, Anaïs is on the Steering Committee for Climate Live UK and has led talks at festivals on air pollution, event and media opportunities in climate space and how the music and film industry can improve sustainability. She’s interviewed artists and actors about their role in climate action, discussing the changes they’ve made, such as printing albums or merchandise on recycled materials to reduce their impact. 

Frances Fox 

Frances is the Global Founder and UK Director of Climate Live – a youth-led charity that organises concerts and festival stages to engage a new audience in the climate movement. She’s passionate about harnessing the power of music for climate justice, the importance of youth-led initiatives and climate advocacy being intersectional. She believes in platforming those most affected by the climate crisis whose voices are often underrepresented and in the power of the sports industry to drive climate justice. 

Over the past few years, Frances has helped coordinate simultaneous concerts in more than 30 countries, has run the Climate Live Bus Stage at major UK festivals and helped coordinate the Fridays For Future youth climate strikes in the UK. She was awarded the UK Environment Agency’s Inspirational Person of the Year Award for 2020 and has been featured on BBC News and Sky News as well as in The Independent, NME, Billboard and others.  

Sophie Nancy 

Sophie runs the sustainable fashion brand PLANET SOPH, which was established in May 2020. PLANET SOPH is all about making fashion fun and not caring what anyone else thinks. It all started when Sophie bought her first sewing machine and taught herself how to use it. Home from university and stuck indoors for much of 2020, she spent every waking moment sewing clothes, finally launching her PLANET SOPH webstore in the summer of that year.

The brand has since taken off and has been featured in magazines, worn by pop stars and stocked in boutiques around the world. “My clothes have been to crazy places,” says Sophie. Join PLANET SOPH and wear something crazy today!
