Each passing year, the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP) gains more urgency. More and more biomes around the world are approaching what scientists call tipping points — the Amazon chief among them. Hosting the 30th edition of COP in Belém, one of the Amazon's biggest cities, therefore represents one of the most significant responsibilities Brazil's diplomacy has taken on in recent times. This week, we are joined by experts with distinct and diverse backgrounds to discuss the climate challenges facing Brazil and the world ahead of COP30. They are:Adriana Ramos: Executive Secretary of the Socio-Environmental Institute, a civil society organization that monitors indigenous lands and other environmentally protected areas across Brazil, working both with governments and on the ground. She represented the Brazilian Forum of NGOs on the Amazon Fund Steering Committee from 2008 to 2013 and served on the Executive Board of the Brazilian Association of NGOs.Carlos Nobre: One of the world's leading climatologists, he is a researcher at the University of São Paulo, co-chair of the Scientific Panel for the Amazon, and a member of academies such as the World Academy of Sciences. He co-authored the research that earned the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 and was also responsible for creating some of Brazil's main government climate centers, as well as the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in the Amazon. Natalie Unterstell: President of the Talanoa Institute, a Brazilian climate policy think tank, and member of the COP30 Adaptation Council and the accreditation panel of the Green Climate Fund. She holds a master's degree from Harvard Kennedy School and has served as a negotiator for Brazil in global climate talks, helping lead Brazil's climate policy development.Listen to the full episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or on The Brazilian Report.Send us your feedbackSupport the show
In today's episode, we have the pleasure to interview Tim Christophersen, author of Generation Restoration: How to Fix Our Relationship Crisis with Mother Nature.Tim is the VP of Climate Action at Salesforce and formerly Head of Nature for Climate at the United Nations Environment Programme, where he helped launch the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. A forester by training, he's spent over two decades leading global efforts to restore ecosystems, stabilize the climate, and bring nature-based solutions into the mainstream of business and policy.In this episode, you'll learn how to rebuild a real relationship with nature—beyond extraction and transactions, the practical win-wins of restoration (from putting carbon back into soils to agroforestry that revives livelihoods), and why ecological literacy—asking where your food and water come from and spending more time outside—sparks the kind of nonpartisan action the world needs.

Jonathan Schrag, Deputy Climate Chief for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, joins Climate Rising to discuss how the state is tackling emissions, electrifying infrastructure, and responding to a shifting federal policy landscape. Jonathan shares how Massachusetts' newly created Climate Office coordinates across agencies—from housing to public health to corrections—to embed climate action into all corners of state government. He discusses the state's emissions targets, the role of local municipalities in building codes and EV infrastructure, and the growing headwinds from federal rollbacks, tariffs, and canceled clean energy grants. He also reflects on market uncertainty, offshore wind, geothermal pilots, and the promise of small modular nuclear reactors.
Most people across the globe want their governments to act on climate change. In some countries, as much as 89% of the population is in that camp, according to a scientific journal called "Nature Climate Change."

Even though 40% of young people would prefer to be self-employed, the reality does not match their aspirations. If young people were as active in entrepreneurship as 30- to 49-year-old men, there would be an additional 3.6 million more young entrepreneurs across OECD countries. This episode of OECD podcast features Joni Rakipi from ETH Zürich and is hosted by Shayne MacLachlan from the CFE. Joni, originally from Albania and now based in Zürich, explains deeptech as solving complex problems through scientific breakthroughs, emphasising its long-term impact. He highlights barriers young entrepreneurs face, such as limited access for foreign nationals and regulatory hurdles, advocating for open doors and deregulation to foster innovation. The episode encourages young entrepreneurs and policymakers to engage with these insights. Tune in to hear from a young entrepreneur, in his own words. As Public Affairs and Communications Manager, Shayne MacLachlan engages with policy issues concerning SMEs, tourism, culture, regions and cities to name a few. He has worked on a number of OECD campaigns including “Going Digital”, "Climate Action" and "I am the future of work". Joni Rakipi holds a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Mechanical Engineering from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Management, Technology & Economics (METC) from ETH Zürich.

Ten years after the Paris Agreement, the world's climate negotiators will gather in Belém, Brazil this November for COP 30, a summit many are calling a critical juncture for global climate action. After COP 29 in Baku ended with what developing nations called a woefully inadequate $300 billion annual commitment—far short of the $1.3 trillion economists say is needed—can multilateral climate negotiations still deliver the justice and transformation the climate crisis demands? And with 71% of climate finance currently provided as loans rather than grants, how is the debt crisis crushing developing countries' ability to invest in climate action?Rebecca Thissen, Global Advocacy Leader for Climate Action Network International, joins Sustainability In Your Ear to unpack what's really at stake in Belém. With a background in International Public Law and years in the trenches of climate justice advocacy, Thissen works at the intersection of finance, economics, and climate action to ensure money flows where it's needed most. She discusses the just transition work program, Brazil's controversial Tropical Forests Forever Facility, the International Court of Justice's groundbreaking ruling on climate obligations, and why only 10% of countries showed up with their nationally determined contributions. Climate Action Network represents nearly 2,000 organizations across 130 countries, making it the world's largest coalition working on climate change. You can follow their daily updates during COP 30 through their newsletter ECO at climatenetwork.org.Read a transcript of this episode. Subscribe to receive transcripts by email.
Join Daithí as he speaks to the inspiring Seán McCabe, the world's first Climate Justice Officer in a football club. Seán talks us through the work being done in Bohemians Football Club in Phibsborough, Dublin, where community and climate justice is being put right at the heart of things. With impacts of the climate crisis and transition being felt unequally across communities, the Climate CoOp at Bohemians has set out to address the issues faced by their own members, playing to their strength as a tight knit and inclusive community. Seán talks us through the different projects at Bohemians, such as their 'Library of Things', and supporting people serving prison time in Mountjoy to upskill in bike maintenance, as well as some of their aims for the future. His words of advice – dream big! Thanks very much to Sorcha O'Carolan Murphy for support with research, design and promotion. Links: 1. The Spark https://www.thespark.coop/ 2.

Community groups in Clare can once again apply for funding for climate projects under phase two of the Community Climate Action Programme. A €572,000 fund is available for a wide range of projects across the county that "address the urgent challenge of climate change" and help the county achieve its goals under the five-year Climate Action Plan. Applications are open until December 16th for proposals that touch on one or more of the themes of community, energy, travel, food and waste, shopping and recycling and local environmental action. Climate Action Officer at Clare County Council, Dara Dever, says given the competition for funding, projects that cover multiple themes have a greater chance of success.
Episode 328 Not only has the mRNA covid vaccine saved 14 million lives, it may also help our bodies fight off cancer. A study of cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy treatment showed those who received an mRNA vaccine lived nearly twice as long - and this effect was discovered by accident. In a trial of cancer vaccines, Elias Sayour's team at the University of Florida used standard mRNA vaccines as a control - they weren't meant to do anything. Except they did - and the effect was huge. It's still early days, but as we await more trial results, people are beginning to speculate how this might transform cancer treatment. Ahead of COP30, the World Resources Institute has published the State of Climate Action 2025 report - and it doesn't make for good reading. It finds that we have failed to meet any of the goals laid out in the Paris agreement to avoid breaching 1.5°C of global warming. From deforestation to coal use, we're not moving fast enough on anything. Hear from the authors of the report, who offer an important message of hope. Why do birds sing the dawn chorus? Many theories exist - 11 in fact - but a new one has emerged, after scientists were studying zebra finches in the lab. Hear their conclusion while enjoying the serenity of birdsong, recorded at some of the RSPB's nature reserves.

Wind and solar energy are now the cheapest sources of energy, bringing cleaner air, stronger communities, and new economic opportunities. In September at UN Headquarters in New York, the SDG Media Zone hosted a discussion highlighting the momentum of the clean energy transition, and how expanding access to wind and solar can improve public health, create jobs, and accelerate economic growth.The talk featured Jamie Henn of Fossil Free Media, activist and artist Antonique Smith, and Emerson Clark from the Global Wind Energy Council.The moderator, Melina Waling of the Associated Press, asked Mr Clark for his thoughts on the speech made by US President Donald Trump at General Assembly high-level week, in which he declared that climate change is “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.”Watch the full SDG Media Zone session here.Music: "Rise and Shine," Audiobinger

Joshi explore ‘inner climate change,' guiding us through meditation and reflection on transforming the world by becoming the Tree of Enlightenment.Today's podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/heartwisdom and get on your way to being your best self.Jack's new book hits shelves on 11/11: All in This Together: Stories and Teachings for Loving Each Other and Our World – Preorder your copy today!“As much as we want to transform the world, if we don't change ourselves, we might not inspire those around us and perhaps change the system.” –Prof. Rajiv S. JoshiIn this episode, Jack and Rajiv mindfully explore:Guided meditation: A journey into becoming the Tree of Enlightenment—rooted, steady, and open to the sky. Jack and Prof. Rajiv invite us to feel the deep stillness and sacred presence of the trees, reminding us that awakening is a natural unfolding within the web of life.Buddha and trees: The Buddha's life was interwoven with trees—born beneath one, meditating and awakening beneath another, and passing away surrounded by their quiet grace. Trees mirror the path of the awakened heart: grounded in the Earth, reaching toward the light.Trees as ancestors: They are our elders, silent teachers who breathe life into the world. Through their patience and generosity, they remind us of what it means to listen, to endure, and to belong.Collective healing: Our awakening is not only personal—it is collective. Through love across generations, we can heal the planet and one another, planting seeds of compassion that will grow long after us.Radical compassion: To live with an open heart requires both tenderness and courage. We learn to trust, to build bridges, to speak truth, and to act for justice with mindfulness and care.System change: True transformation begins within and extends outward. Each of us has a role to play in creating a world rooted in awareness, kindness, and right action.Spiritual community: Sangha becomes the living ground for our practice—a space to learn, to stumble, to grow, and to embody a new way of being together.Rajiv's story: After his accident, Rajiv discovered that spirituality is not apart from life—it is life. Every breath, every act, every moment becomes practice when the heart is awake.This Dharma Talk originally took place on 9/8/25 for Spirit Rock Meditation Center's Monday Night Dharma Talk and Guided Meditation. Stay up to date with Jack's upcoming livestreams and events here. About Prof. Rajiv S. Joshi: Professor Joshi is the Founder of Bridging Ventures and former Associate Dean for Climate Action at Columbia University.

Tim Christophersen joins the Internet of Nature Podcast to talk about his new book, Generation Restoration, and why nature isn't a luxury—it's our only home. From his first steps in the forest with his forester grandfather to leading the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, and now as VP of Climate Action at Salesforce, Tim shares why waiting for perfection paralyzes companies, what greenwashing gets wrong, and how corporate pledges can move from CSR to true business resilience.We explore why our ecological crisis is rooted in a 300-year-old worldview, how oyster reefs once filtered New York Harbor daily (and could again), and why AI might help “make us all ecologists,” from smallholder farmers in Colombia to city dwellers identifying birdsong. Plus: the role of imagination in rewriting our relationship with nature, the personal challenge of writing a book with Jane Goodall's final foreword, and why, as Tim says, “Nature is waiting. It's time to come home.”

Mireia, més contemplativa, admirava el coratge del seu pare.En: Laia was smiling, curious, with a special interest in the sea; Mireia, more contemplative, admired her father's courage.Ca: "Pare, estàs preparat?" va preguntar Laia, amb energia.En: "Dad, are you ready?" asked Laia energetically.Ca: "Sí, filla", va respondre Oriol, amb un mig somriure.En: "Yes, daughter," replied Oriol, with a half-smile.Ca: Sabia que el futur de les noies depenia de les decisions que prenia avui.En: He knew the girls' future depended on the decisions he made today.Ca: Oriol s'enfrontava a un dilema: continuar amb els mètodes tradicionals de pesca o modernitzar-se, cosa que podria ser més sostenible per al futur.En: Oriol faced a dilemma: continue with traditional fishing methods or modernize, which could be more sustainable for the future.Ca: Aquella sortida podria canviar tot.En: That outing could change everything.Ca: Amb decisió, va salpar.En: With determination, he set sail.Ca: A l'aigua oberta, mentre les onades bressolaven el vaixell, Oriol pensava en el llegat de la seva família.En: In the open water, as the waves cradled the boat, Oriol thought about his family's legacy.Ca: Recordava les històries del seu avi, parlant de com la mar era font de vida, però també de respecte.En: He remembered his grandfather's stories, talking about how the sea was a source of life but also of respect.Ca: Imagineu el dolor de veure com la seva estimada mar canviava per sempre.En: Imagine the pain of seeing his beloved sea change forever.Ca: De sobte, un banc de peixos va aparèixer.En: Suddenly, a school of fish appeared.Ca: Oriol va notar que eren pocs, no com abans.En: Oriol noticed they were few, not like before.Ca: Aquell moment va ser una revelació.En: That moment was a revelation.Ca: Si no canviaven, el seu llegat podria desaparèixer en el temps.En: If they didn't change, their legacy could disappear over time.Ca: Va ser com si el mar li parlés directament.En: It was as if the sea were speaking directly to him.Ca: Després de tornar a port, amb Laia i Mireia amb ell, Oriol va prendre una decisió.En: After returning to port, with Laia and Mireia with him, Oriol made a decision.Ca: Modernitzaria algunes pràctiques per protegir aquelles aigües, però mai no abandonaria les lliçons del passat.En: He would modernize some practices to protect those waters, but he would never abandon the lessons of the past.Ca: Això seria el seu equilibri, la seva manera de preservar la tradició i alhora mirar cap al futur.En: This would be his balance, his way of preserving tradition while looking to the future.Ca: I així, Oriol va complir el seu objectiu: garantir un món marí per a la seva família i promoure respecte pel nostre entorn.En: And so, Oriol fulfilled his goal: to ensure a marine world for his family and to promote respect for our environment.Ca: Aquella tardor va marcar el començament d'una nova època en la qual les onades portaven amb elles l'esperança d'un futur més brillant, tant per a ells com per a la mar que tant estimaven.En: That autumn marked the beginning of a new era in which the waves brought with them the hope of a brighter future, both for them and for the sea they so loved.

Send me a messageIn this week's episode of Climate Confident, I'm joined by Sherie Nelson, Senior Director of Responsibility & Wellness at Elior North America, a food service company serving millions of meals daily across schools, hospitals, universities, and businesses. Sherie sits at the fascinating intersection of nutrition, sustainability, and systems change - proving that what's good for people is, quite literally, good for the planet.We discuss how Elior has cut food waste by 64% since 2022, rolled out data-driven carbon tracking across thousands of kitchens, and committed to making 50% of all new menus meatless by 2025. Sherie explains how her team is re-engineering menus to be both craveable and climate-friendly, and why naming and presentation matter just as much as emissions data when driving behaviour change.From plant-forward menu design and sustainable packaging to the hard truths of scalability and regulation, Sherie offers a masterclass in how large-scale food operations can reduce emissions without compromising on flavour or health.If you've ever wondered how the global food service industry can help deliver on climate goals, or how data and diet can work together to cut emissions at scale, this episode is a must-listen.Listen now to learn why the future of sustainable dining starts with the choices we make, and the stories we tell, on every plate.#Sustainability #ClimateAction #FoodSystems #NetZero #PlantBased #CircularEconomy #ClimateConfidentPodcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers: Ben Gross Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Subscribe to the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one, as well as give you access to the entire back catalog of Climate Confident episodes.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.
