Many folks value Wisconsin's scenic lakes and forests, and our state is known for its rich history of environmental stewardship. But we're facing unprecedented threats to our environment from climate change and folks are already feeling the painful effects. On today's show, guest host Isaia Ben-Ami speaks with Stephanie Robinson of 350 Wisconsin about the climate movement in the state. Robinson says that climate change is an “everyone issue,” and she works to connect the big picture of global warming with peoples' everyday lives, like their energy bills. The Trump administration's rollback of environmental protections, like the repeal of the Endangerment Finding, are true threats to Wisconsin's environment. Robinson says that there's some good news in that the Wisconsin Public Service Commission has approved six new solar projects. They also discuss how climate activism needs to include voting protections, new methane gas power plants planned to power hyperscale data centers, and how climate inaction will only create a more expensive future. Stephanie Robinson has been on staff at 350 Wisconsin since 2018 and has served as Executive Director for the past three. Stephanie holds a master’s degree in urban and environmental planning and prior to her time with 350 Wisconsin, she led major environmental studies and directed air quality and clean transportation projects for local governments and regional agencies across the U.S. Featured image of a solar farm in Wheatland, Wisconsin via Wikimedia Commons (CC0 1.0).

Extinction Rebellion's co-founder Clare Farrell and conservation scientist Dr Charlie Gardner team up once more to discuss issues and stories they feel are not getting enough airtime. They want to make sure that the latest news in science and important reports that are relevant to the climate and ecological crisis are flagged and explained in ways that are easy to understand.EPISODE 34: The psychological effects of repression and what's next for the climate movement?In this episode Clare and Charlie explore how escalating state repression is reshaping climate activism, from the rise of underground tactics and sabotage, to why crackdowns may be radicalising some campaigners while deterring others. They also discuss the future of climate organising, including: mutual aid, community resilience, local assemblies, land-based resistance in France, and the growing attempts to unite climate action with anti-war, anti-poverty and justice movements. They raise the question of what a coherent political vision and philosophy for the climate movement might actually look like in an age of collapse, inequality and authoritarianism.REFERENCESResearch on climate protest repression in the UK (University of St Andrews / Nature Climate Change)https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-026-02570-8Guardian article on how climate protest crackdowns may radicalise activistshttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/25/criminalisation-of-climate-protesters-in-uk-is-counterproductive-research-findsUnderstanding and Accelerating Collective Climate Action (Report from Leiden Conference)https://zenodo.org/records/17583133The Difficulty Ecologism Has Not Yet Facedhttps://thefurrowedmind.substack.com/p/the-difficulty-ecologism-has-notHumanity Projecthttps://humanityproject.uk/The Climate Mobilization (US climate survival organising project)https://www.theclimatemobilization.org/Water Sovereignty Toolkit (The Climate Mobilization)https://www.theclimatemobilization.org/water-sovereignty-toolkitA Paradise Built in Hell by Rebecca Solnithttps://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/301070/a-paradise-built-in-hell-by-rebecca-solnit/Soulèvements de la Terre (“Earth Uprisings” movement in France)https://lessoulevementsdelaterre.org/Climáximo (Portuguese climate justice movement)https://www.instagram.com/climaximopt/Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty initiative - https://fossilfueltreaty.org/Citizens' Convention for Climate (France)https://www.conventioncitoyennepourleclimat.fr/en/ --------------------Please, share, comment, subscribe, like, mobilise, and donate!https://ko-fi.com/worldinflux
Why are so many climate activists still hungry for flesh?In today's show, Betty and Nick talk about the importance of adressing animal agriculture within the climate justice movement. Those of us living in the global North must be willing to confront how our daily consumption choices contribute to climate change as well as understanding how corperations and governments continue to profit from environmental destruction. We finish on a discussion about the unproven theories of white Zimbabwean cattle farmer, Allan Savory. It's easy for greenwashed misinformation about animal agriculture to spread because people would rather believe that eating animals can be sustainable even if there is no scientific evidence to support it.Further reading:https://www.surgeactivism.org/allansavoryMusic played:Livin' Thing - Electric Light OrchestraTreading water - Petrol girlsTrouble in the Water - Common
Just-In Time Conversations: Adrian Huq Cofounder of New Haven Climate Movement by WNHH Community Radio
Pop quiz! Who were the world's very first treehuggers? Story producer Jennifer Wilson hated history class, but she's giving it another chance. She has been studying up on the people and events that paved the way for today's climate movement and sits down with host Laura Lynch to discuss what lessons these stories hold for people taking climate action today.NOTE: This podcast has been edited to correct an error identifying Governor General Mary Simon as First Nations. She is Inuk.
Zion Lights used to be deep inside the environmental movement: protests, arrests, road blockades, the whole thing. Then she started looking closely at the evidence around nuclear power and found that much of what she'd been told about energy, risk, and climate solutions didn't hold up. In this conversation with Michael Shermer, she explains why anti-nuclear politics has done real damage, and why reliable energy matters far beyond moral posturing. She speaks from experience about Extinction Rebellion, energy policy in Germany and France, fear around Fukushima and Chernobyl, energy poverty, overpopulation, and why modern environmentalism so often attacks the very technologies that could help both people and the planet. Zion Lights is a British science communicator, writer, author, and former environmental activist known for her pivot to advocacy of evidence-based environmental policy, particularly her support for nuclear energy as a tool for decarbonisation. She is a prominent voice in debates about climate change, energy policy, humanism, and the role of scientific reasoning in public discourse. Her new book is Energy is Life: Why Environmentalism Went Nuclear.
We begin our newest season, all about women on the frontlines of the climate crisis, with Christiana Figueres. She served as the executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. In 2015, Figueres led the process that secured the historic Paris Agreement on Climate Change, where 195 nations agreed to limit future global warming. Currently, Christiana Figueres leads a nonprofit called Global Optimism, which she launched with her fellow Paris negotiator Tom Rivett-Carnac. They also wrote a book together, The Future We Choose, and they have a great podcast with Paul Dickinson called Outrage + Optimism, where they get to be undiplomatic about the climate crisis. Host Zainab Salbi, also co-founder of Daughters for Earth, talks to Figueres about the current state of the climate movement. Where does Figueres think we should focus our energy at this difficult moment? And how does she reflect on the Paris Climate Agreement, a decade later? The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is a podcast from Foreign Policy, supported this season by Daughters for Earth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Back in December, the Trump administration sent thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents into Minnesota. They terrorized communities, took people from their homes, and murdered two American citizens. Climate groups helped lead the resistance. In this episode of A Matter of Degrees, a city stands up to state violence. We bring on Aru Shiney-Ajay, the executive director of the Sunrise Movement, to tell us about leading on the frontlines in Minneapolis. Then we talk to Ben Passer, the McKnight Foundation's Midwest Climate Director, about how preserving democracy is key to climate action. Finally, we chat with Emily Atkin, founder and Editor-in-Chief of HEATED, on the connection between ICE violence and fossil fuels.

Eugene Kirpichov is Co-Founder and Executive Director of Work on Climate, a global community helping professionals take action on climate across industries and disciplines. Originally created to help people transition into climate-related careers, the organization is now evolving toward a deeper goal: empowering individuals to become climate leaders—people who transform their companies, sectors, and communities from within.In this episode of Inevitable, Kirpichov shares why the “get a climate job” model is no longer enough, and why systemic change depends on how professionals use their power. The conversation explores the concept of regenerative economics, the breakdown of siloed climate thinking, and the need for new economic architectures that support resilience, not extraction. We also dive into what it means to build bottom-up leadership, how Work on Climate is shifting its model, and why now is a critical moment to invest in alternatives that go beyond federal policy.Episode recorded on Jan 22, 2026 (Published on Feb 3, 2026)In this episode, we cover:(0:00) Intro(2:40) Climate as one piece of a larger systemic crisis(7:19) An overview of Work on Climate(11:28) Why the climate job market isn't enough(17:08) The shift from jobs to leadership and power(24:49) What a regenerative economy actually means(32:00) Building new economic operating systems(37:00) The Work on Climate member experience (46:49) Final thoughts on reclaiming powerLinks:Eugene Kirpichov on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eugenekirpichovWork on Climate: https://workonclimate.org/ Enjoyed this episode?

In this episode, we're joined by Lucy Biggers, former climate activist and current Head of Social Media at The Free Press, for a rare inside look at how modern activism becomes psychologically binding—and how difficult it is to leave once your identity, career, and sense of belonging are tied to it. Lucy shares her personal journey from producing viral climate content and amplifying activist narratives to questioning the fear-based assumptions beneath them, unpacking the role of groupthink, moral signaling, nervous system regulation, and social punishment in shaping belief. This is a psychological inquiry into how good intentions can harden into ideology—and what it actually takes to reclaim independent thought, inner authority, and the courage to speak against the crowd.(00:00) Teaser(00:34) Opening Conversation(00:55) Introducing Lucy Biggers(05:57) Lucy's Journey in Climate Activism(09:43) Leaving the Climate Movement(12:15) Rebuilding and Speaking Out(18:42) The Role of Mentors and Personal Growth(35:41) Family Dynamics and Political Differences(36:16) Climate Change Narratives and Skepticism(39:11) Debating Climate Change and Energy Policies(45:16) Critique of Green Energy Solutions(52:12) The Role of Media and Public Perception(01:08:01) Questioning the Basis of Fossil Fuels(01:24:22) AI and WritingGuest Linkshttps://www.instagram.com/lucybiggers/ https://x.com/LLBiggers https://www.tiktok.com/@lucybiggers https://www.thefp.com/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links
In this episode of Climate Positive, Gil Jenkins speaks with Bill McKibben: author, educator, and one of the most acclaimed environmental voices of our time. His latest book, Here Comes the Sun, traces the rise of abundant, inexpensive solar power and argues that if we keep accelerating, we have a real chance not only to limit climate damage, but also to reorder the world on saner and more humane grounds. We dig into the data, the politics, and the people driving the global shift to solar, and Bill also opens up about the role of faith in his work and how he views the environmental movement's trajectory today.Links:Bill McKibben WebsitePurchase Bill's Book - Here Comes the Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for CivilizationBook Excerpt: 4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment – The New Yorker, July 9, 2025Substack: The Crucial Years - Bill's ongoing essays on climate, energy, and activismSun Day WebsiteThird Act WebsiteArticle: Sunday Was Also Sun Day - The New York Times, Sept. 20, 2025Episode recorded on October 20, 2025 About Bill:Bill McKibben is founder of Third Act, which organizes people over the age of 60 for action on climate and justice. His 1989 book The End of Nature is regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change, and has appeared in 24 languages. He's gone on to write 20 books, and his work appears regularly in periodicals from the New Yorker to Rolling Stone. He serves as the Schumann Distinguished Scholar in Environmental Studies at Middlebury College, as a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and he has won the Gandhi Peace Prize as well as honorary degrees from 20 colleges and universities. He was awarded the Right Livelihood Award, sometimes called the alternative Nobel, in the Swedish Parliament. Foreign Policy named him to its inaugural list of the world's 100 most important global thinkers. McKibben helped found 350.org, the first global grassroots climate campaign, which has organized protests on every continent, including Antarctica, for climate action. He played a leading role in launching the opposition to big oil pipeline projects like Keystone XL, and the fossil fuel divestment campaign, which has become the biggest anti-corporate campaign in history, with endowments worth more than $40 trillion stepping back from oil, gas and coal. He stepped down as board chair of 350 in 2015, and left the board and stepped down from his volunteer role as senior adviser in 2020, accepting emeritus status. He lives in the mountains above Lake Champlain with his wife, the writer Sue Halpern, where he spends as much time as possible outdoors. In 2014, biologists credited his career by naming a new species of woodland gnat—Megophthalmidia mckibbeni–in his honor.Book Blurb:From the acclaimed environmentalist, a call to harness the power of the sun and rewrite our scientific, economic, and political future. Our climate, and our democracy, are melting down. But Bill McKibben, one of the first to sound the alarm about the climate crisis, insists the moment is also full of possibility. Energy from the sun and wind is suddenly the cheapest power on the planet and growing faster than any energy source in history—if we can keep accelerating the pace, we have a chance. Here Comes the Sun tells the story of the sudden spike in power from the sun and wind—and the desperate fight of the fossil fuel industry and their politicians to hold this new power at bay. From the everyday citizens who installed solar panels equal to a third of Pakistan's electric grid in a year to the world's sixth-largest economy—California—nearly halving its use of natural gas in the last two years, Bill McKibben traces the arrival of plentiful, inexpensive solar energy. And he shows how solar power is more than just a path out of the climate crisis: it is a chance to reorder the world on saner and more humane grounds. You can't hoard solar energy or hold it in reserves—it's available to all.There's no guarantee we can make this change in time, but there is a hope—in McKibben's eyes, our best hope for a new civilization: one that looks up to the sun, every day, as the star that fuels our world.

In August 2022 — just over three years ago — the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law. It represented the largest federal investment in renewable energy and climate action in U.S. history. The bill was a historic victory for the climate movement — and, as it turns out, its high-water mark in the United States for the foreseeable future. Since returning to office, President Trump has withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement, rolled back numerous environmental and climate regulations, issued executive orders to pause renewable energy projects, and worked with Congress to dismantle key parts of the IRA.On this episode, Dan Richards speaks with two experts on climate politics at the Watson School: Jeff Colgan, professor of political science and director of Watson's Climate Solutions Lab, and Chris Rea, assistant professor of sociology and expert on climate and environmental governance about the new landscape of climate politics. They discuss the state of the climate movement and green transition in America and around the world, where the climate movement goes from here, and what it all means for our politics and our planet. Learn more about the Watson School's Climate Solutions Lab.Transcript coming soon to our website.
Environmentalists have been stunned by President Donald Trump's rapid-fire attack on many of their achievements. From Joe Biden's climate law to longstanding regulations – green groups now find themselves on the defensive seemingly everywhere. But this week, they're rallying in New York City for Climate Week to try to forge a new path ahead. The only problem: two roads may be diverging as environmentalists debate different strategies to win back power. Plus, new guidance from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that may be more bad news for renewables. James Bikales is a reporter for POLITICO. Zack Colman covers climate change for POLITICO.

This has been a rough year for the US climate movement. And few people have spent as many years or invested as much time in thinking about the climate movement than Bill McKibben, author of the first book on climate change, The End of Nature. In this perilous moment we find ourselves in, McKibben is finding some inspiration in the transformative potential of renewable energy and how it can help both power the planet and revitalize the climate movement. In his new book, Here Comes The Sun, he offers both the grim reality we face as warming worsens and the very real advances in clean energy that have suprised even him in the past couple of years. We delve into the surprising trajectory of global warming estimates, the rapid advancements in solar technology, and the pivotal role of activism in accelerating the transition to clean energy. McKibben shares insights on the geopolitical implications of fossil fuel dependency and the liberating potential of renewable energy for communities worldwide, particularly in the Global South. We also explore the critical importance of storytelling, activism, and community engagement in shaping a sustainable future. This is a great conversation for this dark moment.

Renowned author, activist and entrepreneur Paul Hawken joins Mongabay's podcast to discuss his new book, Carbon: The Book of Life, and argues that the jargon and fear-based terms broadly used by the climate movement alienate the broader public and fail to communicate the nuance and complexity of the larger ecological crises that humans are causing. Instead, Hawken argues that real change begins in, and is propelled by, communities: "Community is the source of change, and what we have [are] obviously systems that are destroying community everywhere." The tile of Hawken's book, carbon, is also the fourth most abundant element in the universe, and a fundamental building block of life. He argues it is being maligned in a way that distracts from the root causes of ecological destruction in favor of technological solutions that are not viable at scale, or international agreements that prioritize carbon accounting.

Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese
The newest Global Carbon Budget Report found that carbon emissions were at a record high in 2024, despite the strong evidence that emissions must be cut drastically to mitigate the climate crisis. The United States, the largest producer of fossil fuels and responsible for 13% of global carbon emissions (with only 4% of the world's population), is largely responsible for the crisis. Clearing the FOG speaks with Anthony Rogers-Wright, a national racial and climate justice advocate, about the failures of the US climate movement and its fatal flaw of being loyal to the Democratic Party. That loyalty profoundly undermined the credibility of the big environmental groups in this election cycle. Rogers-Wright discusses the COP29 and where we go from here to build an independent and more strategic climate movement in the United States. For more information, visit PopularResistance.org
We are halfway through our first climate month on the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, and in episode 154, we explore the intersection of outdoor advocacy and climate action. To me, loving the outdoors means more than just enjoying nature– it means standing up for it in all aspects of my life. In a polarizing political climate, it can be difficult to know how to use your voice and if it will be heard at all. But that's why we're discussing how outdoor enthusiasts can amplify their voices in policy discussion and why action across all levels of government is necessary for achieving climate solutions. The outdoor industry can step up its role in climate advocacy. And whether you're a seasoned activist or just starting out, my guest, Bill Barron, provides actionable steps to engage in the climate movement because, after all, we are all in this to create a better outdoor space as we recreate. Bill Barron an Alta ski patroller of 24 years, has blended his passion for the outdoors with advocating for meaningful bi-partisan action on climate change- including 5 climate advocacy bike tours. Bill is a three time single-issue federal climate candidate, founded the first Utah Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) Chapter in Salt Lake City 2010, and has been the Mountain West Regional Director for CCL since 2013 covering MT, WY, UT, CO, NM, AZ and NV.

Millions of people say they care deeply about climate change ... yet they're not showing up at elections to turn their concern into political power, says environmental voting advocate Nathaniel Stinnett. He explains why increasing voter participation is essential to advancing the climate movement and shows how his team is mobilizing millions of new environmental voters — without talking about climate change at all.

The climate movement faces mounting pressure in 2024. Record-setting temperatures and extreme weather disasters continue to devastate over a turbulent summer. Prominent plans to roll back environmental regulations and stiffle climate mitigation and adaptation initiatives have movement leaders pushing back on attacks. Is the climate movement able to handle the pressure at this critical moment? Few people are as equipped to answer that question as Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr. Over his decades of climate and progressive leadership, Rev. Yearwood has advanced climate solutions with policymaking, culture change, direct action, and more. And he's part of a new initiative to educate people on critical issues like climate change during this transmorative year. The “2024 & Beyond: Creating Our Shared Future” campaign is reaching out with open town halls to educate and debate on key political issues and building a network of experts and organizations like Center for Climate Justice, Center for Popular Democracy, Hip Hop Caucus, Greenpeace, and Center for Oil and Gas Organizing. Rev. Yearwood Jr. joins the show this week to discuss his life and work, how change actually happens in the climate movement, why the climate movement needs to address its own weaknesses, and what strategies will be most effective in advancing progress and fighting off attacks. Rev. Yearwood Jr. is the President & CEO of Hip Hop Caucus. He is the host of the award-winning climate and environmental justice podcast The Coolest Show, Senior Advisor of Bloomberg Philanthropies Beyond Petrochemicals Campaign, and one of the most innovative advocates and strategists for racial justice and climate justice. He is a White House Champion of Change for Climate leadership and according to Rolling Stone he is a “New Green Hero.” Related Links: 2024 & Beyond: Creating Our Shared Future Hip Hop Caucus As always, follow us @climatepod on Twitter and email us at theclimatepod@gmail.com.

Can concerts mobilize music fans to climate action? From signing a petition or voting, to participating in a protest - what actions are fans most likely to take when their favorite artists ask them to? Over the last year, Planet Reimagined's Climate Active Fellows, Caleb Johnson and Li-Ya Mar have been tackling these questions through their project “Amplify: How to Build a Fan-Based Climate Movement.” Planet Reimagined is a nonprofit organization founded by AJR bassist Adam Met and human rights activist Mila Rosenthal, which focuses on translating climate research into meaningful change. In this podcast, Caleb and Li-Ya talk with AMT Lab Lead Researcher Hannah Brainard about their research process, sharing some key findings and next steps. What's next for Amplify? Planet Reimagined will implement the Amplify recommendations during AJR's 43-city nationwide “The Maybe Man” tour this summer. At arenas across the U.S., they will connect fans with meaningful local action opportunities at each show while REVERB helps to reduce the environmental impact of the tour.

Who can the climate movement turn to for real change? Politicians? Business leaders? International negotiators? The reality, as Professor Dana Fisher argues, is that despite major gains for climate action in recent years, none of our leaders are adequately advancing solutions at the speed and scale neccessary to meet the actual crisis we face. And because we need change to happen much faster, the climate movement needs to build its own power in order to help solve the biggest problems in ever sector of society. So how do we actually do that? We explore that on today's show and discuss Professor Fisher's new book Saving Ourselves - From Climate Shocks to Climate Action. We discuss what the climate movement can learn from international efforts like the Paris Agreement and the Kyoto Protocal, how the successes of the Civil Rights Movement and other social movements can guide climate activists, and how climate activism is changing as we approach major elections in 2024. Dana R. Fisher is the director of the Center for Environment, Community, and Equity and a professor at the School of International Service at American University.
