Future Ecologies presents "The Right to Feel," a two episode mini-series on the emotional realities of the climate crisis.This first episode, “Climate Feelings,” is a collection of students' non-fiction essays and reflections on their personal realities of living with and researching the climate crisis. The first episode opens with an introductory conversation between Naomi Klein and series producer Judee Burr that contextualizes how this class was structured and the writings it evoked.Over a two-year period, associate professor of climate justice and co-director of the UBC Centre for Climate Justice Naomi Klein taught a small graduate seminar designed to help young scholars put the emotions of the climate and extinction crises into words. The students came from a range of disciplines, ranging from zoology to political science, and they wrote eulogies for predators and pollinators, alongside love letters to paddling and destroyed docks. Across these diverse methods of scholarship, the students uncovered layers of emotion far too often left out of scholarly approaches to the climate emergency. They put these emotions into words, both personal reflections and fictional stories.“The Right to Feel” was produced on the unceded and asserted territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples.Find a transcript, citations, credits, and more at www.futureecologies.net/listen/the-right-to-feel— — —Part 1: Climate Feelings2:38 — Introduction by Judee Burr and Naomi Klein19:05 — Connection to Jericho Willows by Ali Tafreshi22:27 — Connection to the Water by Foster Salpeter27:06 — Connection to Family and Land by Sara Savino31:01 — Scientists and Feelings by Annika Ord36:00 — Biking away from the Smoke by Ruth Moore39:32 — Climate Sensitivity on the Bus by Nina Robertson43:13 — Grief and Climate Change Economics by Felix Giroux46:36 — The Age of Sanctuary by Melissa Plisic52:04 — Age of Tehom by Maggie O'Donnell

Da sempre il degrado ambientale colpisce più gravemente la gente povera e i paesi poveri, e il cambiamento climatico non fa eccezione. La lotta al cambiamento climatico è per questo anche lotta alle disuguaglianze. Ma a patto di fare attenzione. Nell'articolo "Inequality repercussions of financing negative emissions", pubblicato su Nature Climate Change, i ricercatori del Politecnico di Milano e del CMCC - Centro euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici hanno dimostrato che, se mal regolate, alcune tecnologie a emissioni negative - sistemi per estrarre attivamente CO2 dall’atmosfera che dovrebbero entrare in azione tra 15 o 20 anni - possono avere effetti sociali deleteri e aumentare le disuguaglianze. Ne parliamo con Massimo Tavoni, Professore di Climate Change Economics e Direttore scientifico dello European Institute on Economics and the Environment.

The prime minister says a "green recovery” will be at the heart of the UK's post-pandemic comeback. But his government has so far set out less ambitious measures than some other countries and it cancelled its flagship scheme, the Green Homes Grant, after six months due to low take up.With the UK hosting the COP26 climate conference in November, this panel discussed what combination of policies, public and private investment and skills programmes will be needed to turn the government's vision of a green recovery into reality.On our panel were:Josh Buckland, Director at Flint Global and former Energy Adviser to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial StrategySam Fankhauser, Professor of Climate Change Economics and Policy at the University of OxfordRosa Hodgkin, Researcher at the Institute for GovernmentBridget Rosewell, Commissioner for the National Infrastructure CommissionCatherine McGuinness, Chair of the Policy and Resources Committee at the City of London Corporation, made the opening remarks.The event was chaired by Dr Gemma Tetlow, Chief Economist at the Institute for Government.#IfGnetzeroWe would like to thank the City of London Corporation for kindly supporting this event.

"A fourth separation of powers shall be incorporated in every system of government for the independent feedback of results through a Resulture or Feedback Branch of Government."You might imagine that for all the debate at the heart of government, there might be some function to check up on the outcomes of these debates. And in some cases there is. In many, even in most cases - nothing. Maybe a profit and loss account to show value for money - but with regards to the actual purpose of all the laws and policies and programmes, answering the question of whether they have achieved their aims - there is no structure in place to make sure this happens, and so mostly they become atrophy and waste, pointlessly clogging up the system and pointlessly exhausting tax-payer's money. Would a business survive these conditions? In this episode we start with Montesquieu's idea of checks and balances behind the separation of powers, explore its reality in the UK's political system, and think about what effective feedback might mean for this system.Talking points:The Separation of powers from MontesquieuThe centralised nature of these powers and opportunities to respondSystems Thinking, Cybernetics: responding to realityThe political class - unaccountable and uninformedWastageBusiness as a model for government and its limitsFeedback on Social PurposeMyths and perceived credibility about the centreBroadband now and the 1984 privatisation of BTCybernetic feedback as non-political: Something just happens.Law-making - spectacle vs valueMessianic transformation vs gradual improvementDiversity of perspective, Design Authorities and purpose - safety, reliability and performanceFailure enquiries - no politics, no blaming and the origins in the Victorian rail system...and the Global Financial CrisisA mechanism to take feedback decisions out of politicsThe contradiction at the heart of politicsExisting feedback institutions, their limits and potentialAbandonment powers for laws that don't workThe cost would be a fraction of the benefitThe building of a body of knowledge about specific circumstancesLinks:The god-like power of the feedback loop (1 hr BBC 4 film of Jim Al Khalili on The Secret Life of Chaos):https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xv1j0nMathematics, complex systems and small changes (5 minute clip from above):https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0060b2cOn the separation of powers: origins in Montesquieu and Aristotle:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powersIn Our Time - Montesquieu (podcast - 50 mins)https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b5qnfxList of supreme audit institutions :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_audit_institutionUK's National Audit Office:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Audit_Office_(United_Kingdom)Reading List:Schumpeter, Joseph (1976) Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy, George Allen and UnwinDrucker, Peter (Number 14, Winter 1969) The Sickness of Government, The Public InterestFriedman, Mark (2005) Trying Hard Is Not Good Enough: How to Produce Measurable Improvements for Customers and Communities, Fiscal Policy Studies InstituteStraw, E. 2014.

It explores what might be learned from the history of Antidote – an organisation set up to foster more emotionally supportive school environments – to inform the development of such a model. It starts with pupil, staff, and parent surveys to describe their experience of the school, using the data that emerges to have conversations with each other to develop an explanation about what it means and a strategy for improvement. Every school should engage in this sort of process every year. League tables of public examination results are too blunt an instrument, and unlike the PROGRESS process do not stimulate solutions as well as highlight problems. Independent surveying and confidential reporting averts the syndrome of the untouchable but largely ineffective head teacher. All government agencies should find out how their stakeholders experience them and be held to account for responding to the findings. Board members would then have the judgment of the people and organisations they are there for and not airbrushed data from management in the annual review. - 22 Park, James. 2018.

The cost in time, money and organisational complexity was high. This was a bane of ‘old world' engineering and led to the demise of much of the West's manufacturing industry. Starting with the automotive industry, Japanese companies revolutionised the process with ‘zero defects', ‘right first time' and similarly purposeful intentions. Today, either a company's manufacturing is world class or it's not in business.

James Stock, a professor of political economy at Harvard University, discusses his research on the effects of carbon taxes in the European Union and its implications for enacting similar taxes in the United States. Stock presented this research at the Climate Change Economics conference organized by the Richmond Fed in November 2020.

Prof. Steve Keen joins us to discuss his work on the disastrous economics of climate change, in which he contends numerous errors have been made in calculating the economic effects of climate change. Correcting for these errors makes it feasible that the economic damages from climate change are at least an order of magnitude worse than forecast by economists, and may be so great as to threaten the survival of human civilization. Additionally, we give an update on the costs of fossil fuels vs renewables and how all of this may impact investments going forwardView the presentation slides here: https://nucleuswealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/The-disastrous-economics-of-climate-change.pdfYou can find Prof. Steve Keen's work at: https://www.patreon.com/ProfSteveKeenHis article we're referencing: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14747731.2020.1807856Our piece on energy prices: https://nucleuswealth.com/articles/energy-price-parity-no-party-for-coal/In today's investment webinar (LIVE 12:30pm AEDT), Nucleus Wealth's Head of Investments Damien Klassen, Head of Advice Tim Fuller, Head of Operations Shelley George and prof.

While GDP continues to grow social welfare is declining. The rich are getting richer. The poor are getting poorer. Mental illnesses are on the rise. Being “stressed” is a new norm. Our planet is being exploited and destroyed for economic growth. We are in a time of Climate Crisis. What does that mean for our economic system and how can we actually utilise economic tools to combat climate change? How is climate change an opportunity for economic transformation? Why is a carbon tax so important? Can and should we still “growth” in a world of Climate Emergency? This podcast episode is a live on-air radio show discussion with Professor Felix FitzRoy, co-author of “An Introduction to Climate Change Economics and Policy” and Professor Emeritus of Economics in the School of Economics and Finance at the University of St Andrews. Climate Change is the largest threat humanity has ever faced but it is also our greatest opportunity for global systems change. One Earth. One Home. One mission.

We’ve heard a lot about the need for urgent climate action in the past few months. Sobering documentaries from David Attenborough and hard-hitting activism from Greta Thunberg and the Extinction Rebellion have brought the issue to the forefront of people’s minds. Investors have a pivotal role in meeting the challenge of financing the transition to a low-carbon future and in finding the wealth of returns opportunities that a low-carbon transition presents.   This week we’re coming to you from the studios at the London Stock Exchange after having interviewed the Lord Nicholas Stern, Chair of the Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy. Lord Stern joined us for our panel webinar ESG: What to know and what to do with LGIM’s Head of Institutional Clients, Mark Johnson, and others on the importance of environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities to investments.   Without a hint of irony, this episode recording was almost delayed due to Extinction Rebellion protestors having super-glued themselves to the entrance of the LSE.   Watch the full webinar with Lord Stern here: https://youtu.be/3ldIlweafvY (https://protect-eu.mimecast.com/s/l3DiC86xysmvMMSnm04O?domain=youtu.be)   LGIM has also co-written a practical guide to climate change for institutional investors: http://www.lgim.com/files/_document-library/capabilities/iigcc-guide-addressing-climate-risks-and-opportunities-in-the-investment-process.pdf (https://protect-eu.mimecast.com/s/A8HVC9QyzhJ3KKHEzwpQ?domain=lgim.com)   Lord Nicholas Stern, Chairman of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics Mark Johnson, Head of Institutional Clients Mark Chappel, Senior Investment Writer   We want to hear from you!

Sam Fankhauser is Director of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics. He has been at the institute since its inception a decade ago, where he initially joined as a Principal Research Fellow. He also holds positions as Deputy Director of the Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy, Non-Executive Director the CDC Group and a member of the editorial board for the journals Global Environmental Change, Climate Policy and Global Sustainability. Prior to joining the Grantham Institute, Sam served as Deputy Chief Economist at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). He has also worked at the World Bank, the Global Environment Facility and in the private sector. His research interests include the economics of adaptation to climate change, climate finance and the functioning of carbon markets and climate change policy in the UK. In this episode, Sam provides an excellent overview of the state of carbon pricing today and outlines its two principal forms; carbon taxation and carbon trading. He discusses the merits and disadvantages of each, stressing that all carbon pricing is ultimately results based. Noting that current carbon prices are far too low to meet the objectives of the Paris agreement, he provides words of cautious optimism looking at successful schemes in Sweden and British Colombia in Canada which show the effectiveness and viability of carbon trading. Sam also discusses significant barriers around issues of political economy and voters' suspicion of government taxation, and how this renders carbon trading easier to implement practically. He also addresses “shadow pricing” and how the private sector's growing enthusiasm seems to reflect an understanding that the economic growth of this century will arise from low-carbon opportunities. Finally, he stresses the need for collaboration around carbon pricing to avoid “carbon leakage.” He also points to how empirical evidence suggests that successful schemes can be imported as regulators in different jurisdictions learn from one another. The post Episode 38: Sam Fankhauser, Director of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at LSE, discusses carbon pricing appeared first on The Sustainability Agenda.

While federal experts warn that it will cost $44 trillion to rid the U.S. economy of carbon, Citibank counters that failing to act on climate disruption could result in over $44 trillion in public and private losses over the next 25 years. The true cost of either keeping or ditching fossil fuels was up for discussion at a recent Climate One event. Nicholas Stern, Chair, Center for Climate Change Economics and Policy, London School of Economics Steve Westly, Founder and Managing Partner, The Westly Group This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on May 5, 2016.
