Last week, President Trump issued sweeping tariffs on goods coming into the United States, with a 10% tariff across the board and higher duties on imports from certain trading partners – specifically Asian countries. While administration officials argued the tariffs would eventually lead to more manufacturing jobs returning to the US, many critics say this will significantly raise the price of goods and slow the country's economy. Blake Paterson, reporter for the Times-Picayune/The Advocate, tells us more about how these tariffs will likely impact Louisiana businesses and consumers. When you think about pollution, cars and planes are the most harmful modes of transportation. That's something former Coastal Desk reporter Halle Parker really cares about. So when she traveled home to New Orleans from Chicago, she decided to reduce her carbon emissions — and try out the train. Today, we hear how it went.Marginalized communities often have to bear the brunt of environmental injustices, while also coming up with their own solutions. An annual conference in New Orleans has celebrated the role students play in addressing climate change. Danny McArthur of the Gulf States Newsroom attended the conference to report on how the region is growing the next generation of changemakers.—Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Jacquelyn Francis, Founder and Executive Director of the Global Warming Mitigation Project (GWMP). GWMP contributes to decarbonizing the planet by identifying innovative climate leaders and deploying resources to advance solutions. It comprises three interconnected programs that work together to address the funding, capacity building, and visibility challenges that global changemakers face as they scale their science-based solutions to decarbonize the planet: The Keeling Curve Prize, The Constellations Fellowship, and The Climate Impact Conduit.GWMP's signature program is the Keeling Curve Prize, which awards $50,000 annually to each of 10 global projects that demonstrate the ability to reduce, replace, or remove greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Since 2018, GWMP has awarded $1.75M to 60 nonprofits, for-profits, and startups, vetted more than 1,100 viable solutions, and grown one of the largest networks of global warming mitigators in the world. The projects that GWMP has awarded are currently projected to reduce 3.27 gigatons of CO2e emissions this year alone.Ted and Jacquelyn discuss her background, growing up in Aspen, Colorado. While attending John Hopkins University for a Master's program in Energy Policy and Climate, she decided that the solution to decarbonizing the planet was to find, fund, and elevate climate leaders and entrepreneurs around the world. This realization led Jacquelyn to create the Keeling Curve Prize and the Global Warming Mitigation Project (GWMP) in the fall of 2017, and a commitment to investing her skills, expertise, and resources to help transition all of humanity to a future beyond fossil fuels. She uses scientific rigor, mathematics and pragmatism as tenants for climate forward-thinking leadership.She shares some of her favorite impact stories with Ted, highlighting creativity from the younger generation finding new ways to make solutions that are smart and effective. She also discusses upcoming events, running programs, and a new tool within their database - carbon abatement portfolios - an idea that comes from the voluntary carbon markets. She concludes by emphasizing that solutions to the energy transition and emission abatement already exist, and are just waiting to be scaled up.

AP correspondent Jennifer King reports on COP28 Climate Summit-Drought.
In the lead-up to COP28, the call for increased youth engagement in climate negotiations resonates more powerfully than ever. As the world gears up for another critical COP session, the question looms: to what extent will global leaders heed the diverse experiences and perspectives of a generation least accountable for climate change but most susceptible to its repercussions? For this pre-COP episode of Climate Emergency, host Sneha Richhariya and Editor Rakesh Kamal spoke to Heeta Lakhani and Aditya Mukarji, two of the 17 UN-recognized young climate leaders, about what they think of climate negotiations. See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.
The Climate Leaders Coalition turned five years old. Its signatories, which include some of NZ's largest polluters, are a group of 88 companies that have committed to climate agenda and they've notched up some impressive achievements. Collectively they've reduced emissions by 3.6 million tonnes, that's a nearly 30% percent reduction since 2018.And, this one that I found surprising, 97% of signatories have identified and measured their scope 3 emissions. To discuss the coalition, its five-year milestone and how it sees a future under a new government, Vincent was joined by convenor Jolie Hodson, CEO of Spark, and by Mike Burrell, of the Sustainable Business Council.
Since 2018, businesses in the Climate Leaders Coalition have collectively reduced emissions by 3.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent - or the average annual emissions of 270,000 New Zealanders. That is according to the group's fifth annual snapshot report - released Tuesday morning. The Coalition includes some of our biggest emitters - like Air New Zealand and Fonterra. The report says that 85-percent of the 88 signatories have developed ambitious targets to reduce emissions associated with their direct operations and energy use, but the action being taken to manage wider, scope three emissions is less clear. The Coalition's convener and Spark CEO Jolie Hodson spoke to Corin Dann.
With less than two weeks to go, this election is heating up - but so is the climate. Our first big target for reducing emissions is set for 2030 - just seven years away. New Zealand has pledged a 41 percent reduction from 2005 levels across all sectors of the economy. But according to government estimates, we are on track to overshoot this by 114 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2-e). That's more than double New Zealand's net emissions from 2021. The next government's policies will be key to determining whether or not we meet the target. Here to debate these issues and more we're joined by Megan Woods for Labour, Simon Watts for National and James Shaw for the Greens. Corin Dann hosted the debate.
The Youth Climate Institute, created by the Howard County Conservancy, is preparing Maryland's next generation of environmental leaders. How does the course cover the science and social ramifications of climate change? We speak with Executive Director Meg Boyd and Jessica Kohout, a former high-school biology teacher and manager of the Youth Climate Institute. Then, two high school students share their passion for climate justice and solutions. We hear from YCI participants Sanjana Ranasinghe, a senior at Urbana High School, and James Obasiolu, a junior at Atholton High School.

We're excited to announce a special series, Climate Leaders — Rising up to COP28, to mark the ‘Year of Sustainability' here in the UAE, in the lead up to the UAE hosting the 28th edition of the Conference of Parties (COP28) later this year. We'll be sharing inspiring stories of sustainability leaders and climate champions, driving impact from our region to the world. This will a special series of 10 episodes, brought to you by Goumbook in partnership with Mastercard. Joining host Tatiana Antonelli-Abella for this announcement is Roberta Calarese, the founder of Ghaya, a strategy consultancy aiming to transform businesses into a force for good. They discuss the importance of purpose and leadership to drive purpose.
If you've listened to this podcast at all recently, you'll know that I'm in the editing phase of the new book - the phase where we 'carve it into tiny pieces, throw significant chunks of it in the recycling (because words are never wasted and text storage is basically free) and rebuild the rest into something shinier, sharper and generally more succinct.' And I'm telling you this because this week's guest is a fellow writer who knows what it's like to stare at a blank page until your forehead bleeds - but in this case, she's also an academic psychologist who has the data to back up the value of Thrutopian writing. Dr Denise Baden is a Professor of Sustainable Practice at the University of Southampton, and she says, that 'working in sustainability and climate change, the more you know the scarier it is. Like the sun, you can't look too closely at it, but face to one side, you make your way, because in fact, it's easy to put everything right. All the solutions are right here, they just have to catch on. Walking lightly and mindfully upon the earth is so doable. I started writing as therapy, with green solutions as the main ingredient, stories to soothe my soul. Then my characters and their stories took over centre stage, leaving the green solutions to season the stew.'Denise is one of those people who sees a problem and starts creating real world solution. in 2018, she set up the series of free Green Stories writing competitions to inspire writers to create positive visions of what a sustainable society might look like, and to tell stories that showcase solutions, not just problems because her data show that's what we need. In the process she continued to research what works in terms of fiction and climate communication - as a result of which, she has written a novel, Habitat Man, and she compiled an anthology of short stories called No More Fairy Tales: Stories to Save Our Planet. which she had ready by COP27 so there was a copy for every delegate to read.

COP27, the UN's climate conference, is drawing to a close in Egypt - leaving delegates from nearly 200 countries with the job of settling on an agreement that lays out the ways forward for tackling the climate crisis. Back home, companies that form part of the Climate Leaders' Coalition - and are responsible for some 60 per cent of New Zealand's emissions - have released their fourth annual snapshot of how they're doing. The Coalition was launched in 2018 and its 93 signatories represent 34 per cent of GDP and have turnover of $126b. The Snapshot Report looks at the progress signatories have made in delivering on lowering emissions and investing in climate action. This year's report says despite tough economic conditions almost all signatories have re-affirmed or increased their planned investment against last year's collective commitment to invest $9.5 billion over a five-year horizon to reduce emissions. The Coalition's convenor is Jolie Hodson - also head of the telco Spark.
As world leaders began to gather at Cop27 yesterday, speeches began on the main stage in Sharm el-Sheik. Presidents and prime ministers spoke of the need to rapidly reduce carbon emissions and the horrendous impacts of climate breakdown. But, if previous years are anything to go by – these words may not turn into concrete actions. Instead, indigenous and community groups are leading the charge on saving the planet. Madeleine Finlay speaks to Nina Lakhani about the need for climate justice, and hears from activist Nonhle Mbuthuma about her fight to protect South Africa's Wild Coast.

Unter den 60 Unternehmen in Northones Portfolio finden sich geläufige Vorzeige-Startups wie Spotify, Klarna, Tier Mobility, Personio oder Flink, bei denen der VC sehr früh eingestiegen ist. Cledara hat in einer Series-A-Finanzierungsrunde 20 Millionen US-Dollar erhalten. CommerzVentures führte die Series A an, wobei Carbide Ventures und Massive beteiligt waren. Die bestehenden Investoren Nauta Capital und Notion Capital setzten ihre Unterstützung ebenfalls fort. Das Londoner Unternehmen hilft Teams dabei, die von ihnen genutzten SaaS zu verstehen, zu verwalten und zu kontrollieren, um den Betrieb zu skalieren, Vorschriften einzuhalten und Geld zu sparen. Außerdem konnte sich das Food-Startup Neggst über 5 Millionen Euro an Gesamtinvestment sichern. Das 2021 von Veronica Garcia-Arteaga und Dr. Patrick Deufel in Zusammenarbeit mit Zentis, Ehrmann und Fraunhofer IVV gegründete Startup Neggst will mit seiner innovativen pflanzlichen Ei-Alternative den Lebensmittelmarkt revolutionieren.

Welcome to episode 34 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives.This time, the presenters, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and journalist Jo Confino, talk about the modern diseases of busyness, overwhelm, and burnout, and how Zen Buddhist practices and Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings can help us regain our balance. Brother Phap Huu shares his thoughts on busyness in a monastic environment; coming home to ourselves and learning to stop in the midst of crises; the four elements (the practice, the study, the service, the joy); the noble silence practice in a retreat, and becoming one with the silence; learning to stop and listen to ourselves; the practice of deep belly breathing; impermanence. And do you know how the Zen Master himself would face up and deal with overwhelm?Jo shares his thoughts on the Climate Leaders retreat and makes a case for an “age of community.” He further reflects on allowing vulnerability in our overwhelm and busyness; compassion for ourselves; selfishness and selflessness; simplicity in the practice; guilt. The episode ends with a short meditation guided by Brother Phap Huu.

And when we associate to this practice, a lot of the habits that we have as a practitioner, especially practitioners, we want to feel the good sensation more than the negative. But here, in the spirit of Buddhism, the teachings of the Buddha, when we speak about mindfulness, it is to embrace everything that is happening.” “A lot of monks in this time, and generations before us, have Zen gardens. They have gardens that they would take care of because that is also a way of directing energy, so overwhelming is an energy. So our practice is learning to identify the energy and directing that energy so that it can bring us back to balance.” “What I think is core to Buddhist practice is that we can only be useful in the world if we’re in balance ourselves. And it’s not selfish to look after yourself, it’s actually selfless because it’s only when our bowl is full and overflowing that we’re able to naturally give to other people. And when our bowl is empty, actually we’ve got nothing to give.” “When you come to our practice in the retreats, this is the first thing we teach everyone: learning to stop. That’s why these bells in the monastery are so important. We have this aspiration to stop, but our habit, our ancestral habit, our habit from society is so strong in us that we feel like we have to do something.” “Learn to listen to yourself.” “Don’t wait for life to be difficult to start practising, but learn to practise in the good times so that when a difficult time comes, we’ve already built that into our system. Because a lot of people think, ‘Oh, well, life is fine. Why do I need to be mindful? Why do I do this? Because everything’s good.’ But it’s when we have space in the good times to focus and to understand how our mind works, how our body works, how we can reflect on ourselves, that in the moments where things get very tough and we lose that space, that we already know how to act. And I think a lot of people feel that they can just do this when times are bad.” “Coming home to oneself is the beginning of transformation, because when we have the capacity to come home, that’s when we can work on oneself.” “We want to create sustainability outside, but we have to create sustainability inside also.” “When you come home to yourself, this is transformation at the base.” “An important aspect of dealing with overwhelm is to be vulnerable with it, because often we feel that to cope we have to close down, and we have to protect ourselves. Whereas, more than often, the truth is we open up, we share, we are present, we show our weaknesses, we show our scars. And that gives other people permission to do the same.” “I think so much of dealing with overwhelm, dealing with busyness is to be vulnerable in it. Because if we all feel alone and none of us are sharing about it, then all we’re doing is exacerbating it. We’re not letting anyone offer their support. No one can offer their care because we’ve closed the door.” “Man is not our enemy. It is ignorance.”

WA Climate Leaders want the Minister for Climate Action, Amber-Jade Sanderson, to set clear climate targets that honour the 2015 Paris agreements, and to lead the whole community in the face of our new climate realities. That includes explaining why we mustn't allow warming of our climate more than 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels, but also recognising the business opportunities that are waiting for us to become renewable global leaders. WA Climate Leaders is a network that came out of the 2020 visit to Perth by UN negotiator Christiana Figueres, who managed the impossible - bringing the leaders of 195 countries into a global consensus at COP21, creating the 2015 Paris Agreement. Last year, Figueres came to Perth, but not one representative from the state government was able to find time to share a public stage with her, to talk about their action on climate. That lack of leadership from the state government (and the reluctance of oil and gas to talk about the issue) shocked facilitator Meri Fatin into action. Since March 2020 she has been working independently to create a Climate Leaders' network in Western Australia, comprising business and industry leaders working across diverse networks to strongly encourage our state political leaders into action. Meri Fatin supports Brad Pettitt's Climate Action Bill introduced to state parliament last week because it is consistent with the Paris Agreement, and similar initiatives in other states and territories, and thus deserves cross-party and mainstream support. Meanwhile she calls on Western Australians to educate themselves about the issue, speak to politicians about their concerns, think carefully about their vote and, where appropriate, move their money.

Can policymakers effectively prepare for an uncertain future climate? The Kleinman Center’s Mark Alan Hughes discusses emerging decision models for climate mitigation and adaptation. --- Policymakers increasingly face the challenge of deciding on pathways to mitigate and address the impacts of climate change, yet no clear view exists into the impacts of rising temperatures, changing weather patterns, and the timing of sea level rise. And, as we enter unprecedented climate territory, past climate patterns offer an ever less reliable view of the future. As a result, leaders in government and industry can be wary of making bold investments necessary to address a changing climate. Mark Alan Hughes, founding Faculty Director of the Kleinman Center, discusses an emerging area of decision science that aims to provide decision makers with tools that may help them to better account for climate uncertainty, potentially freeing them to make the investments needed to transform energy systems and address climate impacts. Mark Alan Hughes is founding Faculty Director of the Kleinman Center at Penn. Mark leads the center’s Pathways Project, which seeks practical solutions to the challenge of decision making under deep uncertainty (DMDU).
