Climate Vision (+ Shaping Climate Vision CIC)

Luci Isaacson BEM MSc FRGS is the director of Climate Vision, a consultancy focused on helping people to cut carbon emissions and prepare for climate change, through innovative collaboration (see CIC below). Luci read Earth Systems Science (BSc) and Climate Change Risk Management (MSc) at Exeter University, both with a focus on behavioural change research. She sits on the South West Regional Flood and Coastal Committee and with Cornwall Catchment Partnership. She has recently completed the Tackling Climate Change Project (TCCP) focussing on helping communities adapt and mitigate to become resilient to Climate Change, through natural flood management & a bundle of ecosystem services. She provides climate talks, has chaired Cornwall Community Flood Forum, twice with conferences of note (2016/7/8), which was instrumental in planning policy change and remains a member. She was a member of Cornwall Council’s Strategic Resilience Board, shaping the devolution deal; and was Diocesan Environment Officer for Truro Diocese, helping to change Church law to accommodate an environment program, creating several events, and education days focussed on the 25 Year Environment Plan & CCC’s Climate Change Risk Assessment. Her eco-career commenced in 1995 working for Greenpeace in Greece, then Greenpeace in New Zealand, Rag & Bone recycling in Cornwall UK, setting up Cornwall Council’s kerbside recycling, then getting recycling up by 60%. Truro Cathedral invited her to mobilise the people of Cornwall to cut carbon, for UN Copenhagen Conference (2009) which led to the creation and promotion of the 10 Pledges and 4488 actions being taken. She voluntarily created the ‘Leaf Litter Flood Prevention Project’ with low risk offenders on community payback clearing leaves from drains, in flood hot spots. By the third year, the project became part of Defra’s Pathfinder. This led her to becoming part of a forum that became Cornwall Community Flood Forum (CCFF), (formerly Chair 2014-8). For the UN Paris Conference (2015), she designed and project managed the Carbon Logic Project, guiding 10 high-profile people to undertake two pledges a month, inspiring & nudging others. Introducing Shaping Climate Vision CIC Luci is often asked to provide climate talks for groups who do not have a budget. Climate Vision is naturally a Social Enterprise, but it was time to make it official. In August 2022 a group of us set up Shaping Climate Vision, a new Community Interest Company (CIC), to seek funding to fill the gap Climate Vision has been facilitating for over a decade. We aim to be the catalyst for environmental change helping people prepare for climate change, transforming how communities understand and impact their environment. Using tried & tested educational formulas driving meaningful change and a more climate-resilient future by: Raising Awareness: of local implications, through targeted educational programs and events, aiming to empower individuals with knowledge and understanding about the challenges we face. Driving Action: facilitating practical climate initiatives at the community level in daily lives. Measuring Impact: to track and report tangible environmental and social impacts of our initiatives, inspiring others to join this vital mission.
