Podcasts about Climate crisis

On Friday, July 31st, we hosted Dr. Ginie Servant-Miklos for a Q&A about her book Pedagogies of Collapse: A Hopeful Education for the End of the World As We Know It. This was the conclusion of our Pedagogies of Collapse book club, where we met biweekly to discuss the book and its implication for education. Here is the full unedited Q&A. I wanted to give you a heads up that this conversation gets heavy pretty quickly, includes explicit language, and remind you that HRP is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3), and the views expressed by our guests are their own and do not constitute an endorsement.

Felix Dodds is Adjunct Professor at the University of North Carolina.  Felix chaired the 2011 UN conference that proposed the first set of indicative Sustainable Development Goals.  From 1992 to 2012, he served as the Executive Director of the Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future. He established the Network for Regional Government for Sustainable Development in 2002, the Water and Climate Coalition in 2007, and the Communitas Coalition for the UN's SDG 11 in 2013. His most recent books are both with Chris Spence: last year's Environmental Lobbying at the United Nations and the 2023 book Heroes of Environmental Diplomacy: Profiles in Courage.  The United Nations, through its international conferences, research studies, agency programs, and collaboration with civil society, has been one of the most significant proponents of discussions on the climate crisis and clean energy. Many countries have bypassed the USA in achieving energy independence and environmental enhancement.                     

In this episode of The International Risk Podcast, Dominic Bowen speaks with Ibrahim Aboubacar Hama about climate change and its impact on food security, livelihoods, and stability across West Africa. Ibrahim shares what climate change looks like on the ground, and why national strategies often don't match lived reality.The discussion examines whether government frameworks like Senegal's agenda can keep pace with a food security crisis that's projected to nearly double during the lean season, and why bridging the gap between science and affected communities is still one of the region's biggest challenges. We also explore the lingering fingerprints of colonial-era resource extraction and what the rest of the world consistently gets wrong about the crisis unfolding in West Africa.The conversation explores:-What climate change actually looks like for communities on the ground-Why strategy on paper often fails to reach the people who need it most-The lingering economic and institutional legacy of colonial-era extraction-Why bridging the gap between science and society is importantIbrahim Aboubacar Hama is an Environmentalist and Communication Specialist with extensive experience designing and managing climate change adaptation projects across West Africa, with expertise spanning social mobilization, gender equity, stakeholder engagement, and conservation education. The International Risk Podcast brings together global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers to explore the forces transforming our world — from geopolitical instability and organised crime to cybersecurity threats and hybrid warfare. Dominic Bowen is the host of The International Risk Podcast and one of Europe's leading experts on international risk and crisis management. He advises CEOs, boards, and senior executives across Europe on how to prepare for uncertainty, navigate crises, and build strategic resilience in an increasingly volatile world.Subscribe for new episodes every weekTell us what you liked in the comments belowShare this episode with colleagues in risk, policy, and security#Geopolitics #ClimateChange #WestAfrica #FoodSecurity #Senegal #Niger #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateSecurity #Sahel #PoliticalRisk #InternationalRisk #StrategyTell us what you liked!Tell us what you liked!

Support the podcast and keep independent media alive Climate reality keeps colliding with denial, erasure, and rebranding — across media, politics, and religion. Temu conspiritualists weave melted stories about the origins of wildfires, while the high-class guys run meditation-and-regenerative-farming spectacle backed by Exxon money. Julian's on that angle. Derek will be telling us about how climate journalism is collapsing faster than the climate itself with mass environment reporting layoffs at NPR, CBS, the Washington Post, and the LA Times. Trump gutted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. EPA webpages have been scrubbed of human-caused warming language. Are religious institutions doing any better? In 2015, five world religions — Jewish, Catholic, Islamic, Hindu, and Buddhist — independently issued climate statements ahead of the Paris COP21 talks.

This week, as Britain enters its fourth heatwave amidst blazing wildfires across Europe, Coco & Nish are joined by Climate scientist and educator Simon Clark to ask: is this the new normal? They discuss rising temperatures, online misinformation, fire clouds(!) and which policies the UK government could be championing to both mitigate and adapt to a warming climate–listen up, Andy! Also on the show: as Exeter proposes 150 job cuts which are expected to fall disproportionately on the humanities, Nish speaks to his friend and staff member at Exeter University, Dr Peter J Riley. They dig into the value of a humanities degree and what we're missing when we make everything about money. And: Coco & Nish reflect on the UK's first week with Burnham at the helm, as Labour leads Reform in the polls for the first time in almost 18 months. Is it too early to be optimistic? Plus - bonus content! We bring you a clip from a conversation with actor Siobhan McSweeney and Gazan student Mahmoud Hasanain as they discuss the government's renewed scheme to evacuate Gazan students to study at UK universities–but only if they have fully-funded places. Siobhan, along with many other well-known faces from stage and screen, is auctioning off personal items in a bid to raise funds to support these students. You can catch the full episode on YouTube, and bid online here - until Friday 7th August!   Plus: you listen to Nish & Coco every week, now we want to hear from you!

Trump Rehashes 2020 Election as U.S. Soldiers Die | The Karel Cast Donald Trump used a Thursday night Oval Office address to revisit the 2020 election—again—even as American soldiers die overseas and families at home struggle with soaring grocery bills, gas prices, extreme heat and dangerous air quality. While the nation faces urgent crises, Trump is heading to a FIFA match. Karel examines the priorities, politics and human cost behind this troubling moment. Also in today's episode: California steps in to help rescue Lake Mead. The Odyssey is driving the right-wing outrage machine wild—but Karel hasn't seen it yet, for a reason that may surprise you. The Tate brothers are headed to jail, raising an unexpectedly urgent cultural question: Are capri pants manly?

Join our hosts for Monday's show where we will be discussing: ‘Climate Crisis' and 'True Happiness: what can we learn from our elders?' Climate Crisis Climate change is no longer a distant concern, with rising temperatures, extreme weather and environmental damage affecting communities across the world. But as human activity continues to impact the planet, are we creating the very crisis we are struggling to overcome? Join us as we explore the causes and consequences of the climate crisis, the responsibility we have towards protecting our environment and how Islamic teachings encourage stewardship, balance and care for the Earth. True Happiness: what can we learn from our elders? Why do people often become happier as they get older, even as health and energy decline? Join us as we look at research suggesting that later-life happiness is linked to changing priorities, emotional balance and a clearer sense of what matters. What can younger generations take from this shift in perspective — and how does it connect with Islamic ideas of gratitude, patience and focusing the heart on what truly lasts? Guests: Noel McDermott: Psychotherapist and dramatherapist with over 30 years' work within the health, social care, education, and criminal justice fields. Professor Gong : lecturer in the department of Psychology at The Chinese University of Hong Kong Charles Anyaegbunam: Working at Vortex blade - developing blade less wind turbine.

Episode 386 The climate crisis is having a significant impact on yields of crucial food crops. Losses of maize, wheat and soybeans alone are costing $20 billion a year due to heat and drought. New estimates expect this to rise to $160 billion per year by 2100 - although that could be an underestimate. While this means food prices will keep on rising in developed countries, the majority of the population in the world's least developed regions work in farming, so crop losses have the potential to destabilise them, creating social unrest and increased migration. But beyond getting emissions under control, do we need to completely rethink how we produce food globally in order to combat this?  Rowan Hooper and Penny Sarchet are joined by Michael Le Page to discuss this new prediction and the action needed to stop it coming true.

THE VAYSE KOFI HAS NOW MOVED OVER TO PATREON: www.patreon.com/Vayse VYS0063 | Animaxxing at the End of the World: The Return of Aidan Wachter Show notes For the final episode of season 4, Hine and Buckley welcome back an all time favourite guest to discuss an all time favourite topic, as Aidan Wachter returns to Vayse to talk about how and why the world is turning to shit right and now, and, importantly, what we can about it. The day after this episode was recorded, tech-fascist, crap-preaching, man-child, Elon Musk briefly became the world's first trillionaire. Two weeks after recording this episode the UK was in the middle of a three day run of record breaking peaks of June heat. Twenty-three days after recording this episode, convicted felon, professional liar, friend of Jeffrey Epstein and current president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, hosted a narcissistic, self-aggrandising, nationalistic $45 million party whilst the US Military continued strikes on Iran, the constitution continued to be eroded by organised governmental corruption and the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool stagnated in an undeniably on-the-nose visual metaphor. In this conversation Aidan sets out some of the myriad issues that the world is facing in 2026, his ideas for how animism may be able to point the way towards a better future and how it may be possible to encourage people to discover, commence on and commit to the multi-generational project, whatever it may look like, that may lead humanity out of the dark and frightening mess that it currently finds itself in...

From the Plumage Wars to the Climate Crisis Guest: Stephen Moss Book Title: Ten Birds That Changed the WorldThe 19th-century plumage industry nearly drove the snowy egret to extinction to satisfy the fashion for feathered hats. The murder of warden Guy Bradley by poachers in Florida sparked international outrage, leading women to found conservation powerhouses like the Audubon Society and the RSPB. Today, the threat has shifted from direct hunting to the climate crisis. Moss notes that the emperor penguin faces 98% extinction by 2100 due to melting sea ice in Antarctica. These birds serve as "miners' canaries," signaling deeper environmental instability as migratory birds return to find their insect food sources have already peaked. Despite "apocalypse fatigue," Moss remains an optimist, believing that recognizing how our interference with birds "bites us back" is the first step toward a global realization that saving wildlife is ultimately about saving ourselves.

We're at a point where "record-breaking heat" has become a broken-record phrase. Year over year, we hear how many parts of the world have reached a new temperature high. And just days into summer 2026, things already ramped up, with intense and deadly heat waves gripping much of Europe, where temperatures pushed near 50 degrees. And North America hasn't been exempt, as July brings in a new wave of brutal heat. Today on The Big Story, host Caryn Ceolin speaks with City News' Chief Meteorologist Natasha Ramsahai about why the heat is ramping up, how it's going to affect you, and what we can do, if anything, to stop it. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstory.bsky.social on Bluesky

Young people today are inheriting a world they didn't design. They're facing a climate crisis, a food system that puts profit before health, and a constant stream of misinformation that can make meaningful change feel impossible. But a new generation of advocates is already stepping up, asking difficult questions and challenging outdated systems. In this episode, we talk with Lucy Whitney and Gianna Klein, recent graduates of NYU and Cornell who studied sustainability, the environment, and the connection between what we eat and the only habitable planet we've got. Through Switch4Good's Campus Action Now program, they're bringing these conversations to college campuses, helping students understand how food choices shape both human and planetary health. Lucy and Gianna share what sparked their passion for this work, how Gen Z is responding to the climate crisis, why food conversations can feel so personal and complicated, and what gives them hope in a moment when the future feels uncertain. What we discuss: How the environment and ecology influence unexpected parts of our everyday lives. How animal agriculture is contributing to the climate crisis. How climate change and natural disasters are influencing Gen Z's decisions about the future. The Campus Action Now program and how they built a movement to bring dairy-free education and advocacy to college campuses. What service learning is and why it can be such an effective way to create change. The existential questions that come with being alive during this moment in history.  How AI's increasing electricity demands could impact the transition away from fossil fuels. How AI is affecting education and the way students learn.   Resources:  Campus Action Now (CAN) – Switch4Good 1 Million Tables   Click the link below to learn about the FISCAL Act (S. 222) https://switch4good.org/fiscal-act/ Share the website and get your resources here https://kidsandmilk.org/ Dairy-Free Swaps Guide: Easy Anti-Inflammatory Meals, Recipes, and Tips https://switch4good.org/dairy-free-swaps-guide SUPPORT SWITCH4GOOD https://switch4good.org/support-us/ ★☆★ JOIN OUR PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP ★☆★  https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastchat ★☆★ SWITCH4GOOD WEBSITE ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/ ★☆★ ONLINE STORE ★☆★ https://shop.switch4good.org/shop/ ★☆★ FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM ★☆★ https://www.instagram.com/Switch4Good/ ★☆★ LIKE US ON FACEBOOK ★☆★ https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/ ★☆★ SUBSTACK ★☆★ https://dotsiebausch.substack.com/ ★☆★ AMAZON STORE ★☆★ https://www.amazon.com/shop/switch4good

"Europe's heatwave has the fingerprints of the climate crisis all over it—it's the latest price to pay for fossil fuel pollution baking our planet," said Simon Stiell.

Most net zero policies and major scientific models rely on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to limit global heating to 2℃. The most commonly known methods include afforestation, bioenergy with carbon capture, and direct air capture - but various proposals are emerging for ocean-based CDR technologies. Could marine CDR offset emissions from sectors that cannot easily decarbonise, or are the costs and risks too great? Bertie sat down with oceanographer David Ho to discuss these questions, shortly after he returned from the 4th International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Removal in Milan. David Ho is a professor at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, and a lead author on the upcoming IPCC methodology report on carbon dioxide removal and carbon capture, utilisation and storage. His 2023 article for Nature criticising overreliance on CDR has been downloaded more than 100,000 times.Further reading: 'Three challenges to marine carbon dioxide removal', npj Ocean Sustainability, November 2025Principles for responsible and effective marine carbon dioxide removal development and governance, 2025'Marine carbon dioxide removal may be a future climate solution', Dialogues on Climate Change, November 2024'Can coastal and marine carbon dioxide removal help to close the emissions gap?

Met Office forecasters have issued a rare red weather warning for England, with temperatures potentially reaching 40C (104F) in some places. Europe is also dealing with a debilitating heatwave, with schools closed, trains cancelled and France even restricting the consumption of alcohol outdoors to take pressure off the emergency services. The high temperatures coincide with the coming El Niño, which some scientists have nicknamed Godzilla for its predicted strength. To find out whether the two are linked, Ian Sample hears from our Europe climate correspondent, Ajit Niranjan. He explains why it's so hot, why we could be in for even worse and how we can keep as cool as possible. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/sciencepod

In this episode of Sanity Check, David Legates examines a Guardian article claiming that U.S. immigration enforcement flights carry a "huge climate cost." Looking beyond the headline, he compares the reported emissions with total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, aviation emissions, and other major sources to ask whether the article's conclusions are supported by meaningful context. Along the way, he discusses media framing, statistical significance, selective comparisons, and how climate narratives are increasingly woven into debates over public policy. The episode argues that informed discussion requires proportion, historical perspective, and careful interpretation of the numbers—not simply dramatic headlines.https://www.theGuardian.com/us-news/2026/may/26/us-immigration-flights-emissionshttps://www.statista.com/statistics/183943/us-carbon-dioxide-emissions-from-1999/https://cis.org/Report/Immigration-United-States-and-WorldWide-Greenhouse-Gas-Emissionshttps://clivebest.com/blog/?p=11131Visit our podcast resource page: https://cornwallalliance.org/listen%20to%20our%20podcast%20created%20to%20reign/Our work is entirely supported by donations from people like you.

Climate overshoot, technological acceleration and end-time fascism: Modernity is propelling the entire human race towards the brink of destruction. To deal with the crises at hand, Dipesh Chakratbarty argues, we need to find ways to go beyond the entrenched thought systems, structures of domination and material infrastructures that separate us from each other as well as from the web of life we belong to. Known for his contributions to decolonial thought, the historian later turned towards Earth System Science, arguing for the decentering of human agency and rethinking of politics from beyond the human vantage point. Dipesh Chakratbarty joins Dissens to talk about the project of provincializing humanity, degrowth for the uber rich and the indigineous experience as a source for planetary liberation.

WATER WARS HAVE BEGUN: The Colorado River Crisis Is Exploding The American West is facing a crisis that could reshape life for millions. The Colorado River supplies water to nearly 40 million people across the Southwest, but record drought, shrinking snowpack, rising temperatures, and increasing demand have pushed the river to a breaking point. California, Nevada, and Colorado all need the water. None want to give up their share. And now negotiations are collapsing. Could the next battle over the Colorado River be fought in court? As Lake Mead and Lake Powell continue to face pressure, states are preparing for what could become one of the biggest legal and political fights in modern American history. Plus: • Why are bars in San Francisco's Castro District using facial recognition technology on customers? • Is it legal, and what does it mean for privacy? • The latest political headlines from Washington. • Health and fitness news that could affect your daily life.

My Biggest Fear for the Rest of 2026 Isn't Politics The political world was focused on Tuesday's major primary elections, and for good reason. The results could offer an early glimpse into what may become the most important midterm election cycle in decades. But while everyone was watching politics, another story may have been far more important—and far more frightening. Climate scientists are warning that conditions are lining up for what could become an exceptionally powerful El Niño pattern, bringing hotter temperatures, more extreme weather, and potentially another record-breaking year for global heat. And that's what has me worried. I live in Las Vegas, a city that already feels like it's sitting on the edge of an oven every summer. If temperatures continue to rise, what happens to cities like mine? What happens to millions of people living in places already struggling with extreme heat, drought, and rising energy costs? Is this simply our future now? A hotter planet. More dangerous summers. More climate refugees. More communities pushed to the breaking point. Today, we'll discuss the primary election results you need to know, but we'll also tackle the story that may matter far more in the long run: climate change, extreme heat, and whether America—and the world—are prepared for what's coming next. And yes, we'll talk about fear. Because change can be frightening. I feel it too.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Environmental reporter Sue Surkes joins host Gabriella Jacobs for today's episode. Four years ago, Israel’s National Security Council established a unit focused on climate policy. In what Surkes calls a "shock decision," the NSC’s Climate and National Security Forum and Climate Intelligence Forum had ceased to operate as of April 1. We learn what the potential implications could be. Next, we learn about Elad Blumental, the head of OneDay, which provides one-time social volunteering activities. Recently, the NGO pivoted to training volunteer earthquake rescue teams on the heels of repeated State Comptroller reports and Knesset committee hearings warning that Israel is woefully unprepared for an inevitable earthquake. Finally, we learn about a new initiative earmarked for reservists and soldiers who are living with trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Metiv — The Israel Psychotrauma Center launched a new campaign on Sunday to encourage restaurants, cafes, bars and other social venues to create spaces that are more aware, sensitive and accessible. Surkes gives details. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

GUEST: Allison BegalmanHollywood is known for big ideas, big creativity, and big storytelling — but in recent years, one of the biggest forces reshaping the industry isn't a genre or a trend… it's the climate crisis. And at the center of that movement is Allison Begalman. As the co-founder of the Hollywood Climate Summit, Allison has built a space where filmmakers, writers, activists, scientists, and executives come together to ask a simple but powerful question: What if the stories we tell could help shape a more sustainable future?
