Zion Lights is a Science Communicator who is known for her environmental advocacy work and her vision of a high-energy, low-carbon future. She has helped to change the global conversation about and perception of nuclear energy.
With over 10 years of experience in communications, public engagement, public speaking, messaging strategy, and journalism, Zion has played a key role in shifting the global narrative on nuclear energy.
In 2023 Zion held the Scientific Section Presidency for Education for the British Science Festival. She was also awarded the Holyoake Lecture medal by Humanists UK.
Zion is the author of the evidence-based book The Ultimate Guide to Green Parenting, the nature poetry book Only a Moment, and has contributed to multiple other titles including humanitarian Rob Greenfield's Zero Waste Kids and the French book Lumières sur le Nucléaire.
A review of The Ultimate Guide by Gurgle magazine reads: "Zion Lights has turned the cliched hippy dippy image of green mama mantras on its head and instead rammed her brilliant book with heaps of common sense and evidence-based facts".
Zion has been called “Britain’s greenest mother” by The Daily Telegraph and “an eco-pragmatist, happily heavy on science” by The Guardian.
In 2018 when working as a spokesperson for Extinction Rebellion, Zion founded The Hourglass newspaper, the first climate reporting newspaper in the UK. Hourglass reached a print run of 180,000 copies that were distributed across the UK by a network of volunteers. A review of Hourglass in The Guardian concluded: "The newspaper is worth a look, striking that all-important balance between horror and optimism. Come on, it’s important, buy a copy – except you don’t have to, it’s free!"
Zion has written articles for The Metro, openDemocracy, New Statesman, Byline Times, Gal-dem, The Telegraph, BBC Wildlife Magazine, City AM, Resurgence magazine, The Ecologist, Die Welt, la Tribune, Atlantico.fr, Marianne, le Point, l'Opinion, l'Express and many other publications.
Zion is a public speaker who gives numerous university lectures and speaks on panel discussions around the world. She has appeared on BBC Politics Live, Good Morning Britain, Byline TV, Sky News, The Andrew Neil Show, France 24, Debatten, Arirang News, and has been interviewed by Yascha Mounk, Ed Miliband, Isabelle Boemeke, Syed Kamall and others for their podcasts. A full list of media appearances and articles is available under Media.
Zion has an MSc in Science Communication from The University of the West of England (UWE) and is a Patron of Humanists UK. A journal paper Zion wrote on the Sustainable Development Goals for Knowmad Institut is available here. Zion is an astronomer and her TED talk, Don’t Forget to Look Up, is on the importance of stargazing. Zion is also an Honorary Member of Saving our Planet.
