Parties have agreed in the official COP28 negotiated text to institutionalize the role of the Presidency Youth Climate Champion (YCC) within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process, to enhance the meaningful participation and representation of youth in future COPs.Following the COP27 Youth Envoy role, COP28 appointed the first official Youth Climate Champion, Her Excellency Shamma Al Mazrui, who was previously the youngest minister of state in the world.The UAE has been committed to supporting the formalization of the YCC role to ensure all future COPs will engage meaningfully with young people and other marginalized groups in the UNFCCC process.The current YCC and COP28 Presidency teams are also seeking sustainable external funding to avoid any need for Party-negotiated finance, and maximum practical support for youth-led climate action and movements.The COP28 Youth Climate Delegates Program is the largest initiative to-date to expand youth participation in the COP process, with 110 young people from around the world being empowered to drive climate action and participate in the COP negotiations.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/6022096/advertisement

During Utah Clean Energy's annual Party for Clean Power, we recognized two local leaders with our Climate Champion Awards. In this episode, hear the inspiring speeches from the 2023 Climate Champion awardees, Scott Anderson, CEO of Zions Banks, and Reverend Dr. Oscar T. Moses of Calvary Baptist Church. A. Scott AndersonA master of quiet influence, A. Scott Anderson, President and CEO of Zions Bank, stands as an exemplar of leadership in both the financial sector and community service. His distinctive approach has led to tangible and enduring impacts on numerous causes. As a founding signatory of the Utah Climate and Clean Air Compact, Anderson galvanized a new wave of climate leaders in Utah.  Through thoughtful engagement, he empowers others to join the movement, propelling Utah toward national leadership in climate action. Further, he and Zions Bank Corporation have led the way by building their  Technology Campus to be near net zero and invested in the University of Utah's climate prize.“We all have a role to play in turning the tide on climate change. I'm confident that Utahns can come together to find common-sense solutions to our climate challenges. After all, this is an issue that affects all of us, and I'm proud to be a part of the solution,” states Scott Anderson, President and CEO of Zions Bank. The Reverend Dr. Oscar T. MosesUnder the guidance of Reverend Dr. Oscar T. Moses, Calvary Baptist Church has emerged as a beacon of environmental stewardship. Moses spearheaded the transformation of the church into an energy-efficient, solar-powered sanctuary. Expanding this stewardship, he brought energy-saving solutions to the congregation, enabling families to take meaningful climate action by reducing pollution at home. Through his visionary leadership, Reverend Dr. Oscar T. Moses has not only raised awareness about climate change but also ignited a fire of inspiration and empowerment within the Calvary Baptist Church community and beyond. “I strive to help the congregants of Calvary Baptist Church move beyond hopelessness, to hope and beyond. This couldn't be more vital as we deal with climate change. We cannot leave room in our hearts for blame or complacency. We have to work together to safeguard our planet for us and for the next generation.”

This week, the International Energy Agency published its flagship report: The World Energy Outlook. It's hundreds of pages long and makes some bold claims. It says in the year 2030, there will be 10 times as many electric cars on the road as today, 80% of all new power generation will be solar or wind, and demand for fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – will have peaked. The report is dominating climate news because what the IEA says makes a big difference to how governments tweak their energy policies. But how did an organization formed by a handful of countries in response to the 1973 oil crisis come to hold so much influence over our response to the climate crisis? For the answer, this week we're revisiting one of our favorite episodes: an interview with Fatih Birol, the head of the IEA. As we approach COP28, hosted by an oil power and led by the CEO of an oil company, it's good to understand how international organizations can be successfully transformed in the face of climate change.

Dr Jacqui Taylor has positively impacted half of the world's population through her company, Flying Binary, and now as a UN advisor, she's impacting the other half of the world's population. And in today's episode, Jacqui takes us back to the very beginning of her journey. She was a newly qualified aerospace engineer, after completing her vocational training. But when the first project was assigned, her career came to a grinding halt — before it even started. And it had nothing to do with her experience or abilities — but her gender. Jacqui's mentor instead found her a new role that took her down the path of applying her engineering skills to a tech environment. But more importantly, she saw it as a learning opportunity that defined her direction in life based on two principles — equality and impact. Jacqui's work has changed how businesses explore their approach to climate change by spotlighting how much of an impact they have on the world. In what is a fascinating conversation with Jacqui on the podcast, there are a few key themes that stick out…Always speak with your peers and share ideasCollaboration is at the root of all changeBecome aware of impact firstShe leaves today's chat with thought-provoking questions that she is exploring. Like, how can we connect better with each other?Tune in to hear more about Jacqui's work, and her journey to receiving an honorary PHD!Contact Jacquihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-jacqui-taylor/https://flyingbinary.com/contact/Climate Champion resources to build your sustainable businesshttps://flyingbinary.com/sustainability-action-report/The home of the Empathy Economy and Jacqui's equity mission https://jacqui.online/Want to know how Future Fit you are?

This week we sit down with Molly Kawahata, a former climate advisor to the White House, to discuss the ways in which we talk about the climate crisis. Focusing on the doom and gloom of it all has a paralyzing effect, making it harder for people to take action, but providing a message of hope is energizing and spurs people to push for critical systemic change! Listen in to hear the role that positive messaging plays in the Patagonia documentary The Scale of Hope, which tells the story of Molly's experience as a smooth water ice climber in the Alaskan Range!

CLIMATE ACTION SHOWProduced by Vivien LangfordFebruary 6th 2023 AOTEAROA/NZ  - Climate Action beyond Ardern When I visited New Zealand before Christmas I was enchanted by its beauty and the friendly welcoming spirit in Dunedin.  I met a regular listener to our podcast and several of the people who are taking constant climate action there. When I told them how impressed I was at the Ardern Labor Governments achievements they told me not to be so starry eyed, that there was a long way to go. In fact they are part of the civil society that made offshore oil drilling unacceptable. They stood up against Nuclear armed ships in their ports and I was invited to a Nuclear Free Pacific conference to meet Pacific Leaders (Those interview on February 13th)Like Australians, New Zealanders are lying down in front of coal trains and lobbying politicians. Indeed as Rosemary Penwarden said the only way you can catch a train the length of the South Island now is if you are a lump of coal. They want to restore passenger rail and get people out of cars. They want the sheer number of livestock to be reduced. Without Ardern's climate leadership on the international stage, NZ may go quiet for a while. They may want to consolidate the framework her government put in place with a  Climate Change Commission, established to advise and monitor progress to Zero Emissions. However, the generation that Ardern listened to will not be deterred.  The people  you will hear in this podcast  are the kind who will accelerate that process and I hope we will hear more from them.On The Global Stage, Jacinda Ardern Was a Climate Champion, But Victories Were Hard to Come by at Home - Inside Climate News GuestsRosemary Penwarden - Veteran Climate Campaigner - Keen listener to this podcast! -Activist for Stopping Oil drilling in Otago and Restoring Passenger Rail.All aboard for disruption | Otago Daily Times Online News (odt.co.nz)Oil Free Otago | People of Otago organising to prevent deep sea drilling off our coasts Jack Brazil -  Community Organiser - Conscientious objector to the Colonial Mindset - defender of Land back to Traditional custodians and ardent climate protector.(20+) Facebook Live | Facebook Stopping coal used by Powdered Milk Company  Jana Althea - From the School strike4 Climate generation.  Extinction Rebellion and Restore Passenger Rail. Home - Restore Passenger Rail Alva Feldmeier - Executive Director of 350.Aotearoa - 350 AOTEAROAHow can we accelerate the uptake of meaningful Climate Action (350.org.nz)Homegrown Energy (350.org.nz)Open Letter to Minister Nash and Minister Shaw (350.org.nz)  

Professor Will Steffen (pictured) was a man of rare talents mixed with an abundance of scientific skills, but beyond that was the epitome of what a gentleman is - kind, thoughtful, compassionate, fair and beyond anything else a decent and good bloke. The Australia National University emeritus professor died of pancreatic cancer late in January and brought his knowledge of the world's climate challenges to Australia in 1977 and quickly became a fixture of climate conversations throughout the country, influencing many people from the Federal Government down. Will was a member of the Climate Council and had played a leading role in the creation and maintenance of many other climate bodies - we have lost a true climate champion. "'One of Australia's most influential and respected climate scientists' Will Steffen dies aged 75"; "‘Driving force': Tributes flow for giant of Australian climate science"; "We've lost a giant: Vale Professor Will Steffen, climate science pioneer"; "ANU Emeritus Professor Will Steffen dies aged 76". --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/robert-mclean/message

UN Climate Champions' Fiona Napier talks to Jack Kimani, CEO Climate Action Platform for Africa (CAP-A) about looking at a different approach to how Africa approaches climate change. Kimani discusses moving away from the dominant narrative of the damage caused and towards the opportunities for the continent to benefit from tackling these issues, but in so doing being able to create an engine for economic growth and job creation. He suggests how a lot of Africa's assets – energy, vast amounts of land, a larger energetic and youthful work force - could be used to competitive advantage to tackle climate change and how there could be some benefit to Africa's comparatively slower adoption of power generation, making it easier to leap-frog to new climate techs with a low emissions pathway.

Episode 25. AJ Climate Champions with Hattie Hartman. In this episode, we hear from structural engineer Hanif Kara who is working with leading architects on projects across the globe for ambitious clients with resources to deliver sustainable outcomes, including Google, Apple and British Land. Recent projects include Grafton's Stirling-Prize winning Town House in Kingston, Grafton's Marshall Building at the LSE, Foster + Partners' Bloomberg building and the new Google headquarters currently on site at King's Cross with Bjarke Ingels and Thomas Heatherwick. In contrast with most of our guests so far, Hanif is not a Climate Champion from way back, but we're delighted to have him on the pod because he is at the forefront of what is being delivered on the ground now and his design-led approach is pushing best practice. In this episode, he advocates reverse-engineering as a forensic method that utilises complex computational methods to retrofit and extending existing buildings.

Mit Lara Obst sprechen wir heute über den Ansatz der Dekarbonisierung von Unternehmen und Lieferketten. Mit The Climate Choice hat Lara ein Unternehmen gegründet, dass verstärkt auf die Reduktion von CO₂ Emissionen ansetzt. Denn genau da muss jedes Unternehmen ran, wenn es für sich zukunftsfähig aufstellen will. Eine klare Botschaft bringt Lara mit: „Jedes Unternehmen kann und muss in den nächsten Jahren zu einem Climate Champion werden.“ Der Fokus rein auf Kompensation wird nicht mehr reichen, um die Klimaziele zu erreichen und auch nicht, um wirtschaftlich erfolgreich zu bleiben.

In the 2nd episode of Planet A's fourth season, Dan Jørgensen talks with Lutz Weischer, Head of Policy for the NGO Germanwatch.  Germanwatch works on a wide range of environmental issues, but is perhaps best known for its annual publication of “CCPI” - the Climate Change Performance Index.  As evident in numerous international assessments, the world is currently not on track to limit the rise of global temperatures to 1.5 degrees celsius and climate action is urgently needed.  Thus, the CCPI aims to enhance transparency in international climate politics and enables comparison of climate protection efforts and progress made by individual countries. In this episode, Mr. Weischer explains how the CCPI compares the climate policies and actions of different countries. The CCPI is unusual in the way that the top-ranked country is in fourth place. Germanwatch argues that no country performs well enough to be ranked and achieve an overall very high rating. Accordingly, the first three positions in the overall ranking therefore remain empty as even though all countries were as committed as the current frontrunners, it would still not be enough to prevent dangerous climate change. The index is produced in collaboration with the think tank NewClimate Institute and the Climate Action Network (CAN) - a global network of more than 1,300 civil society organizations in over 130 countries. 

How can business competition support international governmental climate action? In this segment, we're thrilled to welcome Nigel Topping. Appointed by the UK Minister, his role is to strengthen collaboration from businesses, investors, cities, and stakeholders — building a global community of champions to halve emissions by 2030 through initiatives such as the Race to Zero and the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero. He answers a daisy chain question from BusinessGreen's James Murray, and leaves a cliffhanger for Jim Messina from the Obama White House.

Hello and welcome to a new episode of the Aronnax podcast the show that focuses on the transformation of the maritime and ocean space.I'm Craig Eason, editorial director at Fathom.World where the stories we cover on the podcast will be found with additional detail.So, a quick plug, visit the fathom. World website and subscribe to the newsletter if you have not already done so, and also look on your chosen podcast app and follow, like and subscribe to this podcast, let me know what you think.Now everyone around the world, whether involved in a maritime or ocean industry or not, will know that COP 26, the 26th meeting of the conference of parties to the UN framework Convention on Climate change will meet in Glasgow, and the expectations are high for nations to up their game and show more commitment to meet the temperature targets of the Paris Agreement.This commitment will be in the form of nationally determined contributions. Shipping, so far at least, does not factor in them. The goal of decarbonising international shipping is still being left to the representatives of the member states who attend the International maritime organisations environmental meetings, the iMO of course being another UN agency like the UNFCCCHowever, that does not mean there will be no place for shipping at COP 26. In fact shopping has been represented either by the IMO or industry players at earlier COP meetings and Glasgow is no different.So now let me introduce my guest for this episode. Katharine Palmer. Katharine is our industry's official climate champion. Her full time role is actually at the UK based classification society Lloyd's Register, but they, or rather the Lloyd's Register Foundation has lent her out on secondment to the UN high-level champions team to be their shipping lead.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/aronnax.

Chris Castro joined the City of Orlando as the Director of Sustainability and Resilience in 2016, but his title doesn't even begin to capture Chris's drive to fight climate change and environmental injustice. In just a few years, he's helped start solar co-ops. He's increased electric vehicle adoption. And he's helped low-income residents invest in clean energy. Chris believes that greening a city doesn't just help fight climate change. It also helps communities and families prosper. One of his most exciting initiatives reduces the massive carbon footprint of the food we eat– and also helps feed families. It's called fleet farming, and it turns front lawns into working farms. Fair warning: Chris is going to completely upend the way that you think about city government forever.
