Activate Impact Director, Kera Sherwood-O’Regan, joined the TVNZ Breakfast team to discuss her recognition in the BBC 100 Women list for 2023. Kera highlighted how humbled she felt to have been recognised amongst other women mentioned such as Amal Clooney, Michelle Obama, and Palestinian Surgeon, Sara Al Saqqa. She shared how changing the narrative about climate change to focus on climate justice and root causes enables more transformational and effective action, and makes climate action more accessible to a wider public.
