TedX eco-anxiety[1] at the 2021 TED Countdown conference alongside Jane Goodall and Vandana Shiva.[2] In January 2025, in her talk Why do the rich and powerful demonise activists?, delivered at TEDxAthens, she drew on the Musk incident to argue that the demonisation of activists by "billionaire-owned media" serves to protect concentrated wealth and erode democratic participation.[3] In 2025, her talk How a small town beat a billion-dollar corporation – delivered at TEDxLondon – recounts how her hometown of Proserpine, Queensland successfully campaigned against a proposed oil shale mine by Queensland Energy Resources, resulting in a 20-year moratorium on oil shale mining across the state announced by Premier Anna Bligh in 2009.[4][5] Hogan's TED talk, What to do when climate change feels unstoppable, has been viewed over two million times.[6][7]

In April 2024, Hogan wrote an opinion piece for the Thomson Reuters Foundation platform, Context, after Elon Musk shared one of her posts on X[1] in a manner she described as turning her into a meme, generating a large volume of hostile responses. She argued that X had become a platform for climate misinformation and called for greater public support – writing that "many activists will tell you that this work is exhausting, and it often feels as if you're alone. We need allies: my question is, are you with us?".[2] Hogan's essay, Why saving the planet requires more honesty,[3] was published as a lead feature in the RSA Journal (issue 4, 2025).[4] In it, she traced her decade of activism from early optimism through growing disillusionment with institutional responses to the climate crisis, and argued that genuine progress requires naming and confronting the structural concentration of power behind climate inaction. She is working on a book, The End of Pretending, described as a memoir-manifesto drawing on her experience as a climate activist.[3] The book draws on her experience of being "booed off stage by corporate executives" at a sustainability awards ceremony; an incident she describes as emblematic of the broader backlash against climate action.[3][2] In her forthcoming book, Hogan explores what she describes as three interlocking forms of institutional, cultural and individual denial which, she argues, prevent meaningful climate action.[5][3]
