Commissioning Editor, Film Fund, Channel 4 News - Independent Television News (ITN)
Changemakers 2024

Louise runs the film fund at Channel 4 News and leads on climate and biodiversity, driving the agenda on environmental issues. She commissions films, outside broadcasts and entire programmes on these priority issues – including dedicating the whole programme to a climate report from every continent before COP 26 and hosting the first ever election leaders debate on climate. Her team recently won the Environmental Reporting Award at One World Media for their film charting Tuvalu’s fight against rising sea levels. Louise is also a trustee for the Hertfordshire and Middlesex Wildlife Trust hoping to help nature’s recovery so her two boys can grow up enjoying the creatures that have brought her so much pleasure. Louise is excited to take part in Climate Changemakers as she believes the media plays such an important role in shaping the agenda and shifting the dial towards action.
