Anthony Stott (pictured) is a Geelong psychologist, whose fertile mind helps us understand how we can profit from his fresh idea of "Green Prosperity"'.Anthony has put Green Prosperity on the table. Beyond that bold and adventurous thinking, he helps people through the travails of climate anxiety through his work at Aspire Health and Psychology at Werribee.This thoughtful fellow first attracted the attention of Climate Conversations at a recent gathering of the "Geelong Climate Cafe ".During our conversation, we discussed Green Prosperity's likeness to the "Degrowth Network of Australia", although as Anthony points out, the two have subtle and important differences.Anthony has written two papers on Green Prosperity, both are freely available via email.

Usually, episodes of "Climate Conversations" begin with a relevant or outstanding quote, but this event from La Trobe University, "Climate change: where are we now?" was littered with powerful and important quotes.Subsequently, I decided it would be best if you listened first and then chose for yourself — enjoy, it is a powerful webinar.

In this month's Climate Conversations we are talking about renewable energy, specifically in the UK. Huge improvements have been made to our green energy output and Clare Nasir takes us through some of the important figures and promising developments. Alex Burkill then catches up with Philip Hodge, Senior Account Manager for Energy here at the Met Office, to discuss how the work we do benefits the industry as it continues to grow.

In this month's Climate Conversations we are talking Carbon Dioxide .

The recent "Relax Festival" in Tatura organized by "Tatura Transition Towns" was highly successful, on a comparative basis. More than 100 people came to the town's Stuart Mock Place to enjoy free music; a free barbecue cooked on induction hotplates powered by an electric car; learn about composting; watch a karate display; book in to either see a rather special garden and visit another home and learn about making biochar; join the GV Gamers Guild to enjoy play without electric power; talk with John Laing about the damage our way of living is causing to other life forms, learn about insects (watch them crawl up your arm) and hear about the valuable work of Landcare; hear from Hilary Grigg about how we should be dealing with our waste; and get som home energy tips and ideas from Terry Court of "Zero Carbon Tatrura". The Melbourne-based "Bicycle Network" was represented, and the idea of using an electric bike was illustrated through the display of a privately owned electric trike and a folding electric bike from Shepparton's Leading Edge Cycles. Climate Conversations also attended and talked with two 'ordinary" people - Dave Wischer (pictured) from Rushworth and Wynan Dollar from Tatura. Dave is concerned about the impact of climate change and encouraged others to watch "Nature Bats Last" by Professor Guy McPherson.

Mark Carter (pictured) from Flight Free Australia was clearly the first person to call when it was announced that Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport would receive Federal Government cash to make the complex's third runway a reality. A story in The Melbourne Age - "Melbourne Airport's $3 billion third runway cleared for take-off" - told of this development. Mark explains how his group draws inspiration and sustenance from the European organization, "Stay Grounded" and is affiliated with the locally-based group, "Climate Action Network Australia". High-speed rail is an alternative to flying and one view can be read in an article on The Conversation by Phillip Laird, "High-speed rail plans may finally end Australia's 40-year wait to get on board". The Geelong-based, "The Sustainable Hour" talked with Mark earlier in the year and this episode of "Climate Conversations" includes the audio from that interview, which happened before the confirmation announcement of the the third runway.

Which country needs to reverse emissions trends? Who has to start phasing out coal? Who must answer the SOS on rising sea levels affecting islands and coastal cities? In an exclusive interview with CNA, UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres tells Climate Conversations co-host Liling Tan why the world's biggest polluting countries need to accelerate change.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We know Greater Yellowstone is a remarkable ecosystem. It is also an increasingly vulnerable ecosystem. The impacts of climate change on this landscape can be felt far and wide and are showing up in some surprising ways. As the impacts of climate change put our communities, water, and wild lands at risk, GYC is working alongside diverse partners and stakeholders to better understand climate-related threats, prepare for a warmer, drier future, and protect our most climate-sensitive resources.On today's episode, we're sitting down with GYC's Climate Conservation Coordinator Sierra Harris to learn about her work in climate resiliency. Most recently, she finished a series of interviews with folks on-the-ground across Greater Yellowstone to get a sense of the climate change impacts people are seeing in real time. With Sierra, we'll also unpack some of the dynamics between weather and climate, hear what brought her to climate work in the first place, discuss some things average people can do to make their communities more resilient, and learn why you probably shouldn't go fishing when it's hot outside. But most of all, we'll talk about how one of the most important things you can do about climate change is simply to talk about it. Voices of Greater Yellowstone was created by the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, a conservation nonprofit dedicated to working with people to protect the lands, waters, and wildlife of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, now and for future generations.The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is the land of 49+ Indigenous Tribes who maintain current and ancestral connections to the lands, waters, wildlife, plants, and more.> Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get podcasts.> Donate to the Greater Yellowstone Coalition> Become a Podcast InsiderPodcast Artwork > Rachel Dunlap ArtMusic >Redwood Trail by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)Artist: http://audionautix.com/Support the show

Understanding the challenges and complexities posed by climate evolution can be daunting. In this episode on the podcast,  our guest Ashoke Mohanraj is a sustainability advocate and book author who is a Top25U25 Environmentalist from Canada.He's an individual who isn't afraid to navigate the gray areas of complex issues surrounding sustainability, and helps guide us beyond the typical views on climate change. Our conversation takes a deep dive into Ashoke's personal motivation, rooted in his Sri Lankan heritage, and that part of the world facing the wrath of climate deterioration. We take a full circle on the importance of inclusivity in climate conversations, revealing how to strike a balance between enjoying life and still advocating for the planet. It's not merely about eco-friendliness,  but bringing diverse perspectives to the table to truly understand sustainability- thereby breaking barriers.Here are some chapter highlights from this conversation :- Sustainability and Climate Change Exploration- Importance of Inclusivity in Climate Talks- Navigating the Path to Environmental Activism- Why environmental advocacy is for young men as well( Ashoke's book "Pollinator Man")-Paths to Success in Sustainable LivingAs we go further along, Ashoke shares his path from being one of the few people of color in environmental activism to his experiences representing at the UN - a journey that is as inspiring as it is enlightening. He also provides valuable advice for those looking to get into environmental activism. Ashoke recently celebrated the one year anniversary of his best selling book Pollinator Man, where he portrays a masculine super hero at the center of environmental conservation - a resource that every child can learn from and do their part to make our daily lives better.The importance of keeping an open mind and the willingness to pivot when necessary is emphasized well by our guest. Ashoke's passion for creating a sustainable future is contagious, via his books and visual media/TV projects he's currently involved in and it's our sincere hope that every listener, every citizen in this planet can draw inspiration to do more in preserving our planet !

Welcome back to Season 3 of The Trail Ahead, hosted by Faith E. Briggs & Addie Thompson. In this episode they reflect on why bringing together their multiplicities of identity is essential to their theory of change - which is (clumsily) that with a multi-racial dialogue that seeks to amplify the voices on the frontlines of environmental justice they can encourage more people to fall in love with the natural world and aim to protect it. They discuss the potential flaws in this theory, how it has changed, how much they are learning and where they go from here. While Addie and Faith originally met through trailrunning, they bonded through their passions. Faith is a documentary filmmaker with a background in representation and a focus on identity politics. Addie's road to stories is grounded in work that has been a mix of climate policy and environmental grantmaking. It is at this intersection where these conversations live. This episode reflects on previous seasons and gives some sneak peeks on the kind of conversations coming down the road.Theme music is "All is Forgiven" from the band Alekesam and the Album Sound Proof Heart.This episode is sponsored by Subaru, learn more on social via @subaru_usa.Additional music comes from Track Club by Marmoset. Other links, orgs, and folks mentioned in this episode are:Rising Hearts:  An Indigenous led grassroots organization committed to the heart work in elevating indigenous voices, promoting, and supporting intersectional collaborative efforts across all forms of movements in cultivating community with the goals of racial, social, climate and economic justice.Rising Hearts' Running on Native Lands  program that aims to make land acknowledgements at trail AND road race events a common and inclusive practice and encourages those who become a partner to go the extra mile by giving back to the communities which the land is borrowed from.Runners for Public Lands toolkitDr. Carolyn Finney episode of The Trail AheadBlack Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to the Great Outdoors by Dr. Carolyn FinneyLink to This LandThe Tongass and the fight to protect it from clearcutsAlaska's Izembek National Wildlife Refuge#StopWillowJade Begay, Policy & Advocacy Director at @ndncollective and member of the Enviro Justice Advisory Council at the white house, on TWITTERNDN CollectiveGrist Fixers 2022Imagine 2200
