Episode 105: Dr Andrew Shepherd is a Senior Lecturer in Theology and Public Issues at the University of Otago, with a particular interest in climate and ecological issues and the wider polycrisis that relates to the convergence of current economic, political, social, cultural and ecological challenges. In this conversation we talk through these intersecting issues, and how the work of theology and spirituality - in community, over time - could renew a kind of moral imagination that could help us tell and inhabit different stories about what matters. Andrew also features on the Ngā Here podcast with James Beck, and has been variously involved in the work of the Christian environmental organisation - A Rocha Aotearoa NZ
In this episode of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy welcomes Jodi Scarlett, CEO of EcoClaim, for a deep dive into how the insurance industry — and the businesses in its supply chain — can transform the climate crisis into a powerful business advantage. Drawing on over two decades of leadership in restoration and insurance, Jodi shares how EcoClaim is pioneering solutions to measure, reduce, and report Scope 3 emissions while cutting costs and meeting emerging regulatory demands. She breaks down complex sustainability concepts into practical, actionable steps, showing how the low-carbon way is often the low-cost way.From industry-shaping initiatives like waste diversion and circular economy practices to high-profile pitches at Lloyd's Labs and MetaProp in New York, Jodi offers insight into leading a disruptive startup in a traditional industry. This conversation is a must-listen for insurance leaders, contractors, and business owners looking to future-proof operations, stay ahead of sustainability mandates, and seize the opportunities hidden within climate challenges.Key Takeaways: 1. The climate crisis isn't just a risk — it's a massive business opportunity for those ready to adapt.2. Scope 3 emissions make up over 90% of an insurance company's footprint and require action across the supply chain.3. The low-carbon way is often the low-cost way, creating a win-win for sustainability and profitability.4. Waste diversion in restoration and construction is one of the fastest, easiest ways to cut emissions.5. Over 40 countries have mandated emissions disclosures, and insurance is a prime target due to its reach.6. Accurate, real-world emissions data is more powerful than benchmark estimates for driving measurable change.7. EcoClaim's plug-and-play model combines software with training to make sustainability practical for contractors.8. Future-proofing your business means starting now — waiting until regulations hit will be costly and disruptive.9. Success in high-pressure pitches like Lloyd's Labs comes from relentless practice and refining your message.10. Leading in a new market space requires being both visionary and tactical — balancing bold ideas with practical execution.
بیدار شدنِ هر صبح زیر آسمانی که از دیشب سنگینتر به نظر میرسد یعنی چه؟ یعنی دوستداشتنِ سیاره آنقدر عمیق که خبرهای شبانه مثل پایانِ یک رابطه دل را میشکند، و در عین حال آنقدر هوشیار ماندن که هنوز بتوان برای نجاتش جنگید. در قسمت این هفته، سراغ کتاب «نسلِ وحشت: یافتن معنا در عصر بحران اقلیمی» نوشتهی پژوهشگر اضطرابِ اقلیمی بریت رِی میرویم؛ اثری که هراس را بیماری فردی نمیبیند، بلکه آن را ندایی جمعی میداند که نیاز به شنیده شدن دارد. رِی با پیوندِ عصبشناسی، روانشناسی و روایت، نشان میدهد عرقی که از ترس بر پیشانی مینشیند «پاسخی سالم به وضعیتِ بحرانی جهان» است، و یادگیری زبان این احساسها نخستین گامِ شجاعانه برای عمل است.در ۳۰۰ صفحهی پر از اندیشه، نویسنده ما را با درمانگرانی آشنا میکند که متخصص «آسیبزیستبومی» هستند، فعالانی که حلقههای سوگ را به جلسهی راهبردی بدل کردهاند، و والدینی که با اخلاقِ فرزندآوری در جهانِ داغشونده گلاویز شدهاند. نتیجه آمیزهای است از خاطره، راهنما و بیانیه، و امیدی ریشهدار که هرگز به انکار نمیلغزد#نسل_درد #بریت_ری #اضطراب_اقلیمی #سوگ_زیستبومی #پادکست_کتاب #اقدام_اقلیمی #سلامت_روان #مطالعه_هدفمند #گفتگوی_چندرشتهای #امید_در_عمل#پادکست#مرور_کتاب#کتاب_صوتی#ایمان_فانی#مدرسه_زندگی_فارسی#تحلیل#مطالعات_میان_رشتهای#podcast#interdisciplinary_Studies#iman_faniخرید دورههای آموزشی در ایران:https://b2n.ir/a19688https://imanfani.comhttps://telegram.me/dr_iman_faniWhat does it mean to wake up each morning to a sky that feels heavier than yesterday's, to love the planet so fiercely that the evening news hurts like a breakup, and to try—somehow—to stay sane enough to keep fighting ? In this week's episode we dive head-first into Generation Dread: Finding Purpose in an Age of Climate Crisis by science communicator and climate-anxiety researcher Britt Wray, a book that refuses to treat dread as a private pathology and instead reframes it as a communal signal flare. Wray fuses neuroscience, psychology, and storytelling to show that our sweaty-palmed worry is “a healthy response to the troubled state of the world,” and that learning to speak the language of those feelings can become the first step toward courageous action.Across 300 thought-provoking pages she introduces therapists who specialize in “eco-distress,” activists who use grief circles as strategy sessions, and parents who wrestle with the morality of bringing children into a warming world. The result is equal parts memoir, field guide, and manifesto, threaded through with a radical optimism that never slips into denial. #GenerationDread #BrittWray #ClimateAnxiety #EcoGrief #BookPodcast #ClimateAction #MentalHealthMatters #ReadWithPurpose #InterdisciplinaryTalk #HopeInAction #Books #Book_review Hosted on Acast.

This week, Dr. Kate Marvel, author of Human Nature: Nine Ways to Feel About Our Changing Planet, is on the show to discuss the complex ways she processes varying emotions while studying climate change and thinking about this planetary crisis. Marvel talks about her journey from a high school student disinterested in science to studying cosmology to eventually becoming a leading climate scientist. She explains why she's inspired by this work and the people that do it. We talk about the creative and fun aspects of working with climate models, some of the certainities and uncertainites that come with any scientific exploration, and what scares her most about climate change. Marvel shares some of the deep emotions that are evoked by everyday climate science and the importance of the narratives we tell living through this crisis. We also explore what it's like for climate science and scientists to be attacked, ignored, and/or belittled, and why it's critical to appreciate the amazing contributions we've received from years of hardworking scientists studying this issue. Dr. Kate Marvel is one of the world's best-known climate scientists working today. She received a PhD in theoretical physics from Cambridge University, led the “Climate Trends” chapter in the U.S. Fifth National Climate Assessment, and has both given a TED Talk and testified before the U.S. Congress! She has written for Scientific American, Nautilus magazine, and the On Being Project.

Climate Crisis and Capitalism are at the heart of David Suzuki's powerful message in this episode. In a candid and impassioned reflection, Suzuki warns that if we continue to prioritize politics and the economy over protecting the environment, we may as well give up on climate action. He challenges the cultural obsession with perpetual economic growth, critiques the short-sightedness of political cycles, and urges a fundamental shift in our collective priorities. David Suzuki's call for transformation is both urgent and inspiring. He advocates for placing the environment at the center of all decision-making, recognizing that our survival depends on living within ecological limits. Drawing on decades of experience as a scientist, broadcaster, and environmental activist, Suzuki encourages individuals to embrace systems thinking, reevaluate their relationship with nature, and demand more from leaders who treat the planet as expendable. This is a wake-up call that goes beyond environmentalism—it's a call for a radical reimagining of our future.

Despite Cyprus being better prepared than ever ahead of the wildfire season, last month Cyprus was hit with its worst wildfire in decades. As Cypriots look for answers, countries in the region - including Greece - are also facing similar challenges as they struggle to build resilience and keep up with the impacts of climate change. Nektaria Stamouli, the deputy editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition and Politico's Eastern Mediterranean correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis as we dig into this story.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Confused politics fans the flames of Southern Europe's wildfiresTurkish parliamentary committee begins work on PKK peace initiativeAnti-drone system propels Greek plans for home-grown defence industry
When catastrophic floods struck Brazil's state of Rio Grande do Sul in May 2024, the devastation was swift and far-reaching. Nearly 200 lives were lost, hundreds of thousands were displaced, and critical infrastructure - from roads to water systems - was brought to a standstill. But in the eye of the storm, something else emerged: a remarkable story of how digital governance can respond to climate disaster. In this podcast episode, we feature Gabriel Souza, Vice Governor of Rio Grande do Sul, who recounts how the regional government responded with digital adaptation, coordinated leadership, and institutional learning in the face of unprecedented crisis. “We really innovated a lot,” he notes, reflecting on the urgency and innovation that emerged from the chaos. “We created a myriad of tools that are now part of the legacy of the crisis,” resulting from on-the-ground creativity under pressure. A vivid example of how data, public trust, and agile governance structures can converge in a time of disaster to deliver solutions and reshape the future. Tune in!
I had a great time talking with Bridget Shirvell about her new book Parenting in a Climate Crisis; A Handbook for Turning Fear into Action - I may have gotten a little excited when she was talking about the contents of the book, knowing there was a chapter about activism... Bridget is a freelance writer, and has done pieces for Martha Stewart and PBS, Conde Nast and New York Times, and others about food, travel and the environment. Having her own young child inspired her to write the book, to prepare young people to take on the world that we leave, by teaching the love of nature.From her website: "In this urgent parenting guide, learn how to navigate the uncertainty of the climate crisis and keep your kids informed, accountable, and hopeful–with simple actions you can take as a family to help the earth.Kids today are experiencing the climate crisis firsthand. Camp canceled because of wildfire smoke. Favorite beaches closed due to erosion. Recess held indoors due to extreme heat. How do parents help their children make sense of it all? And how can we keep our kids (and ourselves) from despair?"You can find all of Bridget's incredible work (and her book!) at her website here: https://breeshirvell.com/She's also on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breeshirvellSend me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

With climate-related events increasing in frequency and severity, we discuss the role of insurance in mitigating the economic and social risks. With a focus on the property and casualty insurance sector, learn about insurance's economic role, how insurers are adapting their strategies to protect against losses while offering coverage where it is needed, and the importance of risk mitigation efforts by all key players. PGIM's David Klausner, ESG Specialist, hosts this discussion with Pinto Suri, U.S. Investment Grade Credit Research Analyst. Recorded on July 17, 2025.
The climate crisis seems to be missing from the overwhelming majority of the popular culture that we consume. But is that really the case? In this compelling conversation Mark Bould, a distinguished professor of film and literature at the University of the West of England, explains how we might be able to uncover the crisis in TV, books, and film where it isn't obvious at first glance. Bould is the author of The Anthropocene Unconscious: Climate Catastrophe Culture, which challenges our conventional understanding of climate change narratives and encourages us to uncover the implicit climate themes woven into various forms of media. Bould explains in this conversation how science fiction especially can serve as a powerful lens through which we can examine the complexities of climate change and its cultural implications. Throughout this episode, we journey through a diverse array of media, including the Sharknado, Arrival, World War Z, The Edge of Tomorrow, The Purge, and the Fast & Furious franchise to examine how climate themes appear in unexpected plas. From the explosive rise of zombie films to the nuanced storytelling of literary novels, Bould shares his insights on how these narratives not only reflect societal anxieties but also shape our collective consciousness regarding the climate crisis. Whether you're a film nerd or a climate change champion, this episode offers a thought-provoking exploration of how fiction can illuminate the biggest challenges we face.

Nic Seton has always been passionate about the environment, but he says his concern for the future didn't really sink in until he had kids. His climate activism has ranged from organising major media stunts to giving talks at schools, and he believes parents are an underestimated force when it comes to driving political change.

This week, David Wallace-Wells is back on the show for a wide-ranging conversation on the climate crisis unfolding in 2025. I was struck by David's recent essay, “We Can Adapt and Prepare for Floods. But Will We?” in the wake of the horrific flooding in Texas. As David explains, the climate disasters we face today are increasingly unpredictable and widespread, challenging our traditional understanding of what our climate risks are where they can happen. Despite the rising frequency and cost of these disasters, David notes that increasingly it appears that our most commons response is largely to normalize these events. He suggests that instead of being jolted into action, we are adapting to these new realities mostly by just accepting it as inevitable. In this conversation, we also discuss a number of other recent events, from the repeal of major parts of the Inflation Reduction Act to budget cuts to federal services to China's big clean energy in push in recent years. It's wide-ranging and the kind of fascinating talk you can always expect when David joins the show. David Wallace-Wells is the New York Times essayist, best-selling science writer and author of The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming. His subscriber-only newsletter he explores climate change, technology, the future of the planet and how we live on it. His recent piece on the tragic floods in Texas “We Can Adapt and Prepare for Floods. But Will We?” Check out our past conversations with David, first in 2021 and later with Ty in 2023.

Dr. Michael Mann is Presidential Distinguished Professor of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He also serves as Director of the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability, and the Media, and Vice Provost for Climate Science Action and Policy.Dr. Mann first entered the public consciousness in the late 1990s with his "hockey stick graph," a reconstruction of Earth's climate history over the past 1,000 years. The graph became both a cornerstone of climate science and a lightning rod for controversy. Since then, he has published more than 200 peer-reviewed papers, co-founded realclimate.org, and written five books—most recently, Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons from Earth's Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis.Having spent nearly three decades fighting climate misinformation and defending the scientific record, Dr. Mann has witnessed multiple waves of public consciousness around climate change. In this episode, we hear his perspective on how public sentiment has evolved, where we stand today, and his views on what he sees as a coordinated campaign to block climate action.Dr. Mann doesn't pull punches. He names names, draws direct lines between fossil fuel interests and political actors, and isn't shy about calling out what he views as bad-faith tactics across the political spectrum.Episode recorded on May 21, 2025 (Published on Jul 22, 2025)In this episode, we cover: [1:51] DiCaprio based Don't Look Up character on Michael[4:26] Why Michael's center combines science and media[5:27] Communication is today's biggest climate challenge[7:27] The story and impact of the “hockey stick” graph[13:17] How fossil fuel interests targeted his work and reputation[15:32] Russia's modern climate disinformation tactics[17:22] Climate denial, delay, doom, distraction, and division[20:26] Deflection: blame shifted to individual responsibility[21:48] The progress we've made and the need to accelerate solutions[25:17] Why China may lead in future emissions reductions[29:16] Methane leaks make gas a major climate threat[33:15] What exactly we're trying to save on the planet[38:22] How Project 2025 is erasing climate accountability[40:46] Which climate science institutions are being dismantled[45:09] What a livable 2050 future could still look like Enjoyed this episode?

The revelation that the government concealed a huge story about the resettlement of people from Afghanistan after their lives were put at risk by a data breach has left Westminster reeling. So why was it allowed to be kept secret for so long? And what could the fallout be? The Guardian's political correspondent Kiran Stacey joins John Harris to discuss. Plus, Harris speaks to Ed Miliband, the energy security and net zero secretary, about his plans to tackle the climate crisis, why it's becoming a culture war issue, and how to combat that. And, what does the public really think about net zero? Harris asks Sophie Stowers, a pollster from More in Common. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/politicspod
Synopsis: As military spending soars, how does the Lucas Plan present an alternative model?This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: With the passage of the Republicans' “Big Beautiful Bill” and NATO allies pledging to more than double their spending on defense as a portion of all economic output, military spending around the world is soaring, while spending on meeting social needs and the climate crisis is on the chopping block. Governments often justify spending public money this way by saying it will create good jobs, but what if the workers themselves had a say? Fifty years ago, employees at Lucas Aerospace, a huge military contractor in the United Kingdom came up with an alternative plan. Their approach, known as the Lucas Plan, used the workers' same expertise, but directed production away from bombs, towards goods that actually help society. In this special episode, Laura heads to the UK to interview some of the original workers involved in the Lucas Plan and investigates what one senior government minister at the time called "one of the most remarkable exercises in all of British industrial history.” As she says, it's as relevant now as the day it was conceived.“What we're talking about is a poor economic choice that's being made to posture . . . and look like a big military power in a world that's growing increasingly unstable.” - Khem Rogaly“One of the things that the Lucas Plan has done is actually made it fairly clear to people that there are choices. You're given the impression that you have to make weapons. No, you don't. You're given the choice . . . The issue here is who controls technology and who should control technology, and should it be used to free people or should it be used to enslave people?” - Philip AsquithGuests:• Brian Salisbury: Former Lucas Aerospace Shop Steward• Philip Asquith: Former Lucas Aerospace Shop Steward• Hilary Wainwright: Co-Author, The Lucas Plan: A New Trade Unionism in the Making?; Co-Editor Red Pepper magazine• Khem Rogaly: Senior Research Fellow, Commonwealth; Author, A Lucas Plan for the Twenty First Century: From Asset Manager Arsenal to Green Industrial StrategyADDITIONAL CREW: Stanley Arlidge - Episode Producer, Clementine Malpas, Tiger Nest FilmsSPECIAL THANKS: Karen Bell, Joe Guinan, Steve Schofield MUSIC CREDITS: Thrum of Soil by Blue Dot Sessions and original sound design by Jeannie HopperRESOURCES:- Watch the episode released on YouTube July 11th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel July 13th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode) and airing on community radio (check here to see if your station airs the show) & available as a podcast July 16th.Full Episode Notes are located HERE.

The Green Elephant in the Room: Solutions To Restoring the Health of People and the Living Planett
From Colorado's Blue Lakes Trail limiting hikers to 40 per day, to Bhutan charging tourists $200 daily just to exist in the country, this episode explores the uncomfortable truth about environmental protection: the solutions that actually work all involve saying NO. We examine successful tourism limits from the Galápagos Islands to Antarctica, revealing how permits, quotas, and fees are preserving ecosystems while mass tourism destinations collapse under their own popularity. The evidence is overwhelming—places like Thailand's Maya Bay and Mount Everest show what happens when we prioritize unlimited access over protection.But here's the breakthrough insight environmentalists are missing: tourism limits have broader political support than almost any other environmental policy. Even people who oppose carbon taxes will fight to protect their favorite hiking spots from overcrowding. Tourism restrictions work politically because the problem and solution are both visible and immediate—unlike abstract climate policies, everyone understands not wanting paradise destroyed by crowds. This could be our gateway to normalizing environmental protection that actually requires limits on consumption.The episode reveals how accepting permits for wilderness areas could lead to accepting limits everywhere else. From Hawaii's new green fees funding climate adaptation to the Netherlands' A-E scoring system for flights, tourism policy is quietly teaching people that environmental protection requires sacrifice. We're not just saving hiking trails and coral reefs—we're changing how people think about growth, limits, and what's worth protecting. Tourism restrictions could be the trojan horse for climate action that actually works.A CALL TO ACT: Comprehensive Database of Eco-SolutionsTRUMPING TRUMP Database for the New American Resistance RevolutionEpisode WebpageEpisode 36: Touching on Similar Themes — 1.

Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese
The United States is a failing country. Political leaders at all levels have failed to effectively solve the many crises we face such as the climate crisis, economic insecurity and growing inequality, and the need for affordable housing, education, and health care, and more. Action at the local level, where people have the most control, offers a pathway forward. Clearing the FOG speaks with Michael Shuman, author of A Localism Manifesto, which can be found at The Main Street Journal. Shuman explains how decentralized action works, the principles involved, and how it offers a radical new politics that can heal the current polarization of our society.

389 Identifying and Acting On Problems You Can Solve We are surrounded by problems everyday of our lives, some manageable and others seeming too monumental to handle alone. Which is why it is so important to build a community of like minded individuals with the same goal of making a true difference. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Tessa Clarke discuss the relationship people have with stuff, food waste, and how Tessa's company Olio have been making a real difference in the face of the climate crisis. Highlights Our relationship with objects, like clothing, that shape our identity. What do you waste without realizing? How much do you think you throw away in a week? A month? And a year? We all need someone in our corner to help build us up and to help chart a path forward. Building community while also solving problems. Quit wishing things would be better and start making the change yourself. Quotes “We always think the grass is greener on the other side but it never is.” “What's good for the planet is good for people and vice versa.” “It is honestly exhausting being a founder, trying to drive the change in a world that's set up not to change. So you've got to find ways to reenergize yourself and to keep going, to keep fighting every single day.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, When you think about those 4 to 5 years that Tessa talked about and that journey of wanting to be entrepreneurial and thinking about it in terms of “what is the problem I can solve?” What is something you could start today, maybe it eventually becomes a side hustle, maybe the side hustle stays a side hustle, or maybe it turns into something more. What is a problem that you've experienced, that maybe you're the person to solve? And, as always, thank you for listening. About Tessa Tessa Clarke is the co-founder and CEO of Olio, the world's only neighbour-to-neighbour food-sharing app, and a trailblazing force in the fight against waste. Since launching in 2015 - and as a remote first business - Olio has grown into a global movement with 8 million users, redistributing over 100 million meals and 14 million household items, proving that small actions can drive massive change. Recognised as Veuve Clicquot's Bold Woman of the Year in 2023, Tessa is also a Sifted columnist, an Ambassador for the Better Business Act, and a member of the Small Business Growth Forum, advising the UK Government on SME concerns. With a track record of disrupting industry and mobilising communities, Tessa is a passionate speaker who inspires audiences to rethink business, sustainability, and the power of grassroots innovation. Check out Tessa's LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram! As well as her website Olio, and her TED Talk! About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!
Brian McLaren returns to Shifting Culture to explore his new speculative novel The Last Voyage - a prophetic work of fiction set in a world unraveling from ecological collapse, authoritarianism, and cultural despair. But this isn't a story of resignation. It's a call to imagine differently. We talk about the role of art as prophetic witness, how fiction can shape moral imagination, and why we must move beyond systems built on extraction and scarcity. Brian unpacks the concept of polycrisis, the dangers of authoritarian momentum, and the urgent need for new ways of thinking, living, and organizing - rooted in interdependence and care. We also dive into generational shifts, character dynamics, and what it looks like to resist old paradigms by becoming a different kind of presence in the world.Brian McLaren is a bestselling author, internationally acclaimed speaker and outspoken advocate for 'a new kind of Christianity'. Named one of Time magazine's 25 most influential Evangelical Christians, McLaren was a pastor for over 20 years.

Community of Christ's 2025 World Conference passed the G-10 resolution, entitled “Earth Stewardship Affirmation.” While some question the need for such a resolution, there is no doubt that the call for accountability was heard and supported. The question remains whether or not the “support” will manifest itself in necessary action. Join host, Susan Oxley, as she sits down with Rick Bunch, chair of Community of Christ's World Church Earth Stewardship Team and lifelong contributor to natural resource management, to talk about why the time for hesitation is past and the time for action is now! Check out the free Earth Stewardship resources mentioned by Rick in this episode.

#230 - Paul Hawken returns to share his hopeful and hard-won perspective on how organic farming and climate solutions go hand-in-hand, and to reflect on the themes in his latest book Carbon. Drawing from his decades of work in food systems and regeneration, he explains why soil is one of our greatest allies and how organic farmers are leading the charge toward a livable, equitable future.https://realorganicproject.org/paul-hawken-reversing-ecological-collapse-230Paul Hawken is a climate activist, entrepreneur, and the author of nine books including Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming, Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Social Movement in History Is Restoring Grace, Justice, and Beauty to the World, Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution, 2022's best-selling Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation, and his most recent publication - Carbon: The Book of Life. He serves on Real Organic Project's Advisory Board.You can follow along with his work here:https://regeneration.org/solutionsThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/directoryWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000 Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/
"The climate crisis has roots in fossil fuels, but at the same time, fossil fuels fund this Russian invasion to Ukraine. So it means this is a fossil fuel war. If we will actually fight against our overall actually dependency on fossil fuels in the same way we will fight against climate change." Svitlana Krakovska on Electric Ladies Podcast The climate emergency is a security threat, and a “threat multiplier,” as former Defense Undersecretary Sherri Goodman has written. Looking at security in the same way as it has been is no longer working. The old view leaves us very vulnerable. Some of the greatest challenges to human security have unexpected connections to climate change. Are world leaders are truly prepared to meet this moment? Listen to this live recording of this “Fireside Chat on Climate Security” at The Earth Day Women's Summit at Earthx2025 moderated by Electric Ladies Podcast's Joan Michelson that uncovers the issues at the intersection of climate change, security and sustainability. You'll hear from Svitlana Krakovska, a top climate scientist from Ukraine Mirian Vilela, Executive Director of Earth Charter International Secretariat & Center for Education for Sustainable Development Joan Michelson, Executive Producer of The Earth Day Women's Summit and host of Electric Ladies Podcast. “We are looking at business and economy and make bigger decisions without looking at it through a lens that sees the interconnectedness of all these social and environmental challenges. [We have] to expand our planetary consciousness and deepen our ethical responsibility with the wellbeing of humans across cultures and nations.” Mirian Vilela on Electric Ladies Podcast You'll also like: Food, Fashion & Ag vs. Climate Change – from The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025, with top scientists and innovators in these fields What's The Role Of Business Today In Addressing The Climate Crisis? - from The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025, with top business leaders Rewriting The Climate Conversation – from The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025, with top communicators, including a Hollywood producer and conservative voice Sherri Goodman, former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense, on climate change as a security threat.
