Mikaela Loach, named by Forbes, BBC Women’s Hour and The Guardian as one of the most influential women in the UK climate movement, is a British-Jamaican former medical student, climate justice organiser and Director of the AWETHU School of Organising. Her first book, It’s Not That Radical: Climate Action to Transform Our World, was an instant indie bestseller. She was named the 2023 Non-Fiction Indie Champion by Bookshop.org and one of the “World’s Top Thinkers” by Prospect Magazine. Mikaela has boldly challenged powerful entities, calling out billionaires at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s annual event, taking the UK government to court in the landmark "Paid To Pollute" case in 2021, and challenging Shell’s CEO and board at their AGM for their human rights abuses to people of the Niger Delta in Nigeria.
