Team
Climate Reframe was launched back in 2019 by Doc Society supported by a team of climate justice consultants. After a hiatus caused by the pandemic, the programme has been reimagined and reanimated following a community consultation.
Today Climate Reframe is led by Farhana Yamin who is its Director. She is supported by Aisha Younis, who is the Research & Community Lead for Reframe. Aisha was a co-creator of the original list with Suzanne Dhaliwal. They in turn have been advised and supported by the Reframe Steering Committee, currently comprising Syed Ahmed and Simeran Bachra. We want to thank all the members of the Reframe list who have inspired and supported us in shaping this initiative.
The 2023 Reframe Steering Committee is:
