Breaking the Wall of Energy Injustice

Science Engagement

With a tagline, ‘Reporting that seeks to empower’, EnAct addresses two social issues: high levels of energy poverty and low levels of energy literacy. A journalistic project that aims to build understanding of energy, EnAct sees its first challenge of finding ways to ‘engage’ the public in a technical and rapidly evolving story. Using documentary film, photojournalism, podcasts, infographics and blogs, we make energy easy to grasp while showing how people, energy and Planet are interconnected.

As actors around the world work to achieve universal access to sustainable, affordable energy (SDG7), her mantra is that it is time for everyone to ‘get’ energy. Marilyn founded EnAct to deliver engaging energy reporting that helps people understand how society shapes the energy sector and empower informed decision-making for a clean and just energy transition.
