Funding The Fight For Climate: Support Activists Directly With HERO - Mauricio Porras | VETchat by The Webinar Vet - a podcast by Ben Sweeney

Joining Anthony for this episode of our sustainability series on VETchat by The Webinar Vet is Mauricio Porras, Co-founder and chief Mobilization Officer at HERO. HERO is the first membership platform that provides finance and capacity-building support to climate mobilizers: advocates, experts and campaigners working on a particular climate policy area. Rather than supporting only individuals, HERO supports groups of mobilizers working together, termed Circles. Circles specialize in a policy topic and geographical region.

In this episode, Anthony and Mauricio discuss the climate crisis and the HERO Circle App. Mauricio explains what HERO does and why funding climate activists is so important. They discuss how sustainability targets are a collective effort, the impact that fossil fuel companies currently have on our climate, and the politicisation of climate views. They also mention examples such as the current Rosebank oil field issues in the UK.
