In this Climate Catalysts theme episode of GET SET GREEN, we are joined by Ishan Shanavas, founder of Ecoinspire and author of "The light of Wilder Things".

Meet Ishan, who is rethinking climate action and sustainability through storytelling and immersive environmental education. His journey began with a deep curiosity about nature and a realization that while awareness around climate change is growing, emotional connection to the environment is often missing.

Through his work, he highlights a key challenge in today’s climate space: people may understand sustainability, but that doesn’t always translate into action. By using stories, experiences, and education, Ishan is working to bridge this gap helping individuals and communities build a more meaningful relationship with nature.

This conversation explores how behavior change, storytelling, and climate education can act as powerful tools in driving long-term environmental impact. From classrooms to communities, we look at how shifting mindsets can make climate action more personal, accessible, and effective.

What we discussed:

1. How Ecoinspire started and the idea behind it?

2. Why storytelling is a powerful tool in climate change and sustainability

3. Limitations of traditional environmental education.

4. How behavior change can drive real climate action?
