Highlights from the Global Pension Risk Survey – UK results. In this podcast in our series on the Global Pension Risk Survey - UK results, Jennifer Michel speaks to Aon's Head of UK retirement policy, Matthew Arends, and partner and co-author on the Global Pension Risk Survey, Alastair McIntosh about the highlights of the survey. The main theme since the last survey took place two years ago is that respondents are addressing pensions risks across a multitude of different topics, covering liability risks, investment risks and a range of governance and operational risks. Find out what the top priorities are that schemes are focusing on. The data and analytics from our recent survey are now available here. We would be happy to talk to you about the findings, and to put them into context for your own pension scheme.

All-electric flight will soon become a reality—and one company is building the infrastructure that will enable it to scale and commercialize. . As a pioneer in sustainable high-speed air mobility, Lilium is one of the only all-electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) companies seeking dual certification with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Since 2015, the company has designed, built, and tested five generations of proprietary technology. . The Lilium Jet can adapt for a range of customers and uses. The most spacious cabin arrangement is designed for private flights and includes luxurious club seating. Alternatively, the cabin can be configured with six seats for passenger flights, or without seats to serve the zero-emissions logistics market. . For insight into Lilium's technology and the future of air mobility, we sat down with Alastair McIntosh, Chief Technology Officer, Lilium, to discuss the company's revolutionary electric propulsion system, decarbonizing aviation, and the path toward eVTOL commercialization. . We'd love to hear from you. Share your comments, questions and ideas for future topics and guests to podcast@sae.org.

One of the world's leading environmental campaigners, Alastair McIntosh is an Isle of Lewis-raised writer, broadcaster and campaigning academic best known for his work on land reform on Eigg, in helping to stop the Harris superquarry; also for developing human ecology as an applied academic discipline in Scotland. He holds a PhD on liberation theology and contemporary Scottish land reform from the Academy of Irish Cultural Heritages at the University of Ulster and is a Fellow of Scotland's Centre for Human Ecology, as well as a regular presenter for Thought for the Day on BBC Radio Scotland.His book, Soil and Soul, has been described as “world-changing” by George Monbiot. Other books include Riders on the Storm: the Climate Crisis and the Survival of Being, Hell and High Water: Climate Change, Hope and the Human Condition,  Poacher's Pilgrimage: an Island Journey, Spiritual Activism: Leadership as Service, Radical Human Ecology: Intercultural and Indigenous Approaches and Rekindling Community: Connecting People, Environment and Spirituality amongst many other published works.Alastair's work seeks to connect people, place and spirituality into a more full understanding of community. He sees global crises as crises of the human condition requiring evolution that is more cultural than political, economic or technical. Spirituality for him is “that which gives life” and specifically, “life as love made visible.” As a Quaker, he approaches this from both Christian and interfaith perspectives. He is also a founding director of the GalGael Trust working with local people in hard-pressed circumstances.Explore our gatherings.Join us at Earth Medicine.Sign up for our free day-long Summer Solstice ceremony.Get in touch with music contributions.Join our Patreon community from £1 a month.Explore Rooted Healing.The Rooted Healing podcast is hosted by Veronica Stanwell, with thanks to Dorrie Joy, Chris Park and Mike Howe for their ongoing music contributions.Support the show

In our often enclosed narratives of extraction and profit, we have allowed the logic of capitalism to tell us what's possible, but our imaginations can and must stretch further. As we listen to the experiences of community members in Shieldfield and beyond, we invite listeners to expand and reimagine our collective responsibilities to the land and to each other through ideas of commons. Drawing on notions of the commons through history, through contemporary protest movements and through work being done in our communities we explore how might tell a different story of our relationship to the land - to tend and care, to caress and cherish it - and to see it as vital to a more life giving and regenerative common life. Contributions from Haley Paxton, Mo Younis, Julia Heslop , Alastair Mcintosh, Luke Devlin, Sheryl Cathey, Ronnie Dougall, Ken Mallon, Val Middleton , Sharon Bousefield, Chris Jones, Al Barrett, Loretta Lees, Gemma Herries, Alison Wilkinson, Lydia Hiorns, Hannah Marsden.More Real / Symbol Episode 2: Land, Place, Roots

Join us as we dive into the magical world of soil! We've become huge fans – did you know there are more microorganisms in a teaspoon of healthy soil than there are people on the Earth? We explore what soil is, how it sustains life, and why it's important for physical and mental health, and the climate. We draw on our own connections to soil, living in the country and city, and discuss what we can learn from soil about time, dormancy, patience, place, meaning, community, connection, communication, healing, complexity, and letting go. We look at the threats to soil, and so to the world's health at large, and signpost efforts to protect and restore soil, from the individual level, to farming, to policy. Whether you're new to this topic, or are an avid gardener or farmer, we hope you take something from the episode.

In this episode we start at the beginning by exploring how the process of development has deeply affected the neighbourhood of Shieldfield (and neighborhoods like it) and how these processes have caused not just physical displacement but also emotional and spiritual displacement. We also ask you to consider how the processes of development are affecting your community. What are the multiple effects of gentrification where you live ? How is it preventing certain communities from flourishing? How can you call attention to what is happening? Contributors to this episode include Shieldfield residents: Ken, Val, Sharon, Mahamat, Haley, Sheryl, John, Ronnie as well as contributions from Loretta Lees, Chris Jones, Willie James Jennings, Darren McGarvey, Alastair McIntosh, Julia Heslop, Hannah Marsden, Lydia Hiorns, Gemma Herries and Alison Wilkinson.More Real / Symbol Episode 1: Even the trees are being displaced

On this episode we continue our series of highlights from this year’s festival with two very different authors who are united in emphasising the importance of promoting healthy relationships between us. The ways in which we relate to the world and to the people in our community has been drawn into stark relief this year and bestselling YA author Nicola Yoon and the pioneering campaigner and author Alastair McIntosh take very different approaches to exploring the best ways we can relate to our environment, to our community and to ourselves.

We were invited by the Hosts of the Nomad Podcast to participate in Pod March which is based on a vision of numerous podcasts releasing a single episode that they’ve created in regards to reacting and addressing the global and local impact of Climate Change. One of the most amazing and beautiful things about being involved in the podcast world is connecting with other people on such deep and personal levels. Sometimes you become very fortunate and get a chance to know them personally with the ultimate reward of referring to them as friend. No other podcast over the past couple of years has had a greater impact on me personally than the Nomad Podcast. Tim, David, Jemimah, Nick and Dave have a special place in my heart and mind. Tim and David have also become friends and we even had David on this show previously. When invited we quickly said yes. In regard to the content I haven’t listened and no doubt would not agree with 100% of everything that is said but the very essence of this show and what has been the first step in transformation is to, stop, and listen. So we invite you, regardless of your position, to hear this chorus of voices (actual show notes below) within the motto of our show: Love in action is listening to understand, not to react.   Everybody Now Climate Emergency and Sacred Duty We’ve caused a turning point in the Earth’s natural history.

In the third episode of Spoken Earth, Adam Weymouth speaks with the Scottish writer, academic and activist Alastair McIntosh. McIntosh is a Scottish writer, academic and activist. He is the author of several books, including Poacher's Pilgrimage and Hell and High Water, and most famously, Soil and Soul: People Versus Corporate Power. McIntosh works in the discipline of human ecology, which explores the tangled web of connections between “the natural environment and the social environment,” bringing politics, economics, sociology and more within the realm of a more traditional ecology. In particular, McIntosh, who is a practising Quaker, is interested in extending the discipline to encompass both psychology and spirituality. All of his work, whether through his activism, his teaching, his speaking or his writing, is focused on opening us up to that multidisciplinary approach. He pays particular attention to the restoration and rekindling of community, and says that more than anything, what the world needs today is a deepening of spiritual vision.

For those of us who have been through some kind of faith deconstruction, spiritual practices often take on a new significance, as we seek to connect with God without what often feels like restrictive doctrinal and organisational frameworks. Scottish theologian and activist Alastair McIntosh recently wrote Poacher's Pilgrimage about a soulful journey he took across the Islands of the Outer Hebrides. So we invited him on the podcast to explore with us the importance of the ancient practice of pilgrimage.  Interview starts at 12m 1s David Benjamin Blower's album The Book of Jonah is available from Minor Artists and Bandcamp. And make sure you also grab a copy of the accompanying book Sympathy for Jonah.

It's quite popular these days to refer to yourself as an activist. But Alastair McIntosh is the real thing. He's taken on major corporations, and won! Why? Because he believes much of the modern world is threatening our sense of place, which he believes is vital for humans to fully flourish.

Sunday Afternoon Philosophy Cafe with guest Alastair McIntosh

Sunday Afternoon Philosophy Cafe - Q&A with guest Alastair McIntosh

Alastair is author of several books including, 'Hell and High Water', 'Rekindling Community' and 'Soil and Soul.' His work is very much built around Community whatever form that takes and how a real experience of that can take someone into the heart and experience the connectedness that we all share beneath the surface. Alastair says: "Community is about creating synergies out of diverse parts. Becoming grounded means having one foot in the physical realities of this world and the other in the dynamics of people".

Last year, 250,000 people visited the Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. The tour includes a free dram of Scotch, and that's a lot of drams to pour! We'll hear more about the Centre from its founder and managing director, Alastair McIntosh. In the news, Dave "Robbo" Robertson leaves Jon, Mark, and Robbo's -- and perhaps Edrington Group -- for parts unknown (perhaps Whyte & MacKay?), there's a new vintage from The Glenrothes, Maker's Mark is shutting down the stills for summer maintenance, and more whisky events to plan your next vacation around...
