Amid rising emissions, rising temperatures, and the rapid rollout of material-intensive renewable energy systems that promise to curb them both, climate mitigation and adaptation are a central priority for China's government. In this episode, host Seb talks to Lei Chen from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's China team. They go behind the headlines to look at:The role China could play in accelerating global circular transitionsWhy the circular economy could offer China a ‘triple win' in achieving its climate ambitions. China probably isn't the first place that comes to mind when you think of a circular economy. But maybe it should be. Read more in ‘The circular economy: a ‘triple play' solution for achieving China's climate objectives'This conversation originally featured in episode 166: China, climate, and the circular economy, published in November 2024.We hope you enjoyed the fourth of our five-part Circling Back series.

Around a thousand of the firefighters who battled blazes around southern California in January 2025 were incarcerated. They do essentially the same work as other firefighters but are paid as little as around $5 a day. A formerly incarcerated firefighter shares what it was like and how the experience helped him forge a new life after prison as a professional firefighter. Also, as the water supply in Athens, Greece dwindles and demand surges from residents and tourists alike, the city is looking to antiquity for solutions. One that's attracting attention is an ancient aqueduct that runs beneath Athens. And the many millions of miles of roads that crisscross our planet block everything from bears to beetles from safely moving through habitats. But new wildlife crossings like overpasses and underpasses are helping reconnect animals with the landscape. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this show, we hear excerpts from a keynote talk from the Bioneers 2024 Conference in Berkeley, California by Taylor Brobry, Activist and Author of Boys and Oil, Growing Up Gay in a Fractured Land. We then will hear what is called a climate thinker, Gabrielle Walker from her TED Talk on Carbon Capture. Following that, host Jack Eidt's 2024 interview with energy expert and climate and environmental activist Morey Wolfson. Most of us understand we are in a global climate emergency. Data confirmed last month was the hottest May on record, putting the Earth on a 12-month streak of record-breaking temperatures. What we need is to immediately transition away from the burning of fossil fuels toward renewable power sources, but also a focus on more efficient energy use, and most importantly, a comprehensive plan for massive conservation and rethinking the way we do business. But global corporations want to continue with their present business model focused on coal, oil, fossil gas, ethanol, and industrial agro-fueled biodiesel. And the way they do it is advancing solutions like Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage. Taylor Brorby [https://taylorbrorby.com/] grew in the dynamic shortgrass prairie of western North Dakota, a youth that coincided with the brutal physical and psychic scarring of his surroundings by the coal and oil industry, a fate not made any easier by being a young gay boy enthralled by classical music, art, fishing, and poetry. From here, Taylor became a poet, writer and dedicated activist, an eloquent critic of the fossil fuel industry, penning, among other works, the memoir: Boys and Oil: Growing Up Gay in a Fractured Land, the essays in Civil Disobedience, and co-editing: Fracture: Essays, Poems, and Stories on Fracking in America. Morey Wolfson has spent his career in energy and environmental policy. He is a Former Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) regulator, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) employee, and governors' energy policy advisor. Jack Eidt is an urban planner, environmental journalist, and climate organizer, as well as award-winning fiction writer. He is Co-Founder of SoCal 350 Climate Action and Executive Producer of EcoJustice Radio. He is also Founder and Publisher of WilderUtopia [https://wilderutopia.com], a website dedicated to the question of Earth sustainability, finding society-level solutions to environmental, community, economic, transportation and energy needs.

As the planet hits record-breaking carbon emissions, the race is on to slash CO2 levels. A controversial technology —called carbon capture and storage— is getting pushed as a solution by politicians and private companies. But critics say it’s just another way to keep fossil fuels alive, and for taxpayers to foot the bill We traveled to California’s Central Valley —ground zero for new carbon capture projects— where locals have questions. Will this save the planet? What are the health risks, and who pays the price?

The EcoAction Committee of the Green Party of the US hosted a webinar on Nuclear is a False Climate Solution on Monday, July 14. Gov. Hochul recently directed the NY Power Authority to build a new nuclear power plant. Nuclear power is pushing for a big revival both in the US and worldwide, partially on the false premise that it is carbon free – ignoring its carbon footprint from the construction of the plants (cement); the mining, processing, and transportation of its uranium fuel; and the hundreds of thousands of years to store its deadly radioactive waste. It takes so long to build that it cannot come online fast enough to prevent breaching the 1.5 C (or even 2 C target). It is also by far the most expensive form of electricity. There are also safety and environmental health problems with nuclear power. Yet both parties at the national level have embraced expanding subsidies and support for nuclear power, partially arguing it is needed for baseline power. In part 1, we hear the presentation of Tim Judson from NIRS (Nuclear Information and Resource Services).

Ottawa's moves to fast-track resource projects with Bill C-5 are resurfacing concerns about Indigenous consultation. But what does it actually look like when Indigenous people push back against resource projects and take control of climate stewardship on their land? To find out, we head to the heart of Tsleil-Waututh traditional territory near Vancouver. The work they've done to restore local ecosystems is not only good for the climate, it's also a way to assert their rights. Then, we'll hear from an Anishinaabe expert who says this is just one example of how taking land back can be climate action.

In this episode, we talk to Rebecca Tickell. She is an award-winning environmental filmmaker, activist, and co-director of Kiss the Ground and Common Ground, two powerful documentaries that spotlight the role of regenerative farming in healing our planet.During this episode, we dive into the urgent need to restore soil health, the surprising connection between agriculture and climate change, and how storytelling can drive global transformation. Rebecca shares her journey from child actor to environmental changemaker, and offers practical ways we can all support a more sustainable food system.Timestamps to relevant points within the episode, use this format:[02:30]-Rebecca's Sustainable Journey[06:00]- The Power of Regenerative Agriculture[12:50]- Documentary Impact: Common Ground and Kiss the Ground[17:30]- The Challenges of Farming[24:00]- The Role of Community in regeneration[33:55]- Final 5Links from the episodes:Silent Spring by Rachel Carson Common Ground - Official Trailer | Prime Video Kiss the Ground - Official Movie Trailer (2020)Where can people find our guest?InstagramFacebookYouTubeWebsiteTake ActionKey Takeaways:Farmers who transition from industrialized agriculture to regenerative agriculture, over 90% of them saw an increase in their profits within year one.Feeding the world is a myth... you have to be able to feed the farmers' families and that ecosystem that the food comes from.Rebecca's journey began with witnessing the harmful effects of industrial farming in her family.Regenerative agriculture can heal the planet and improve farmers' profits.Soil health is crucial for climate stability and food nutrition.Farmers often feel trapped in a cycle of debt and chemical dependence.Community support is essential for transitioning to regenerative practices.Eating locally and seasonally can help support sustainable farming.The narrative of 'feeding the world' needs to shift to 'feeding communities'.Conversations about farming practices must be approached with empathy and understanding.There is hope for a sustainable future through collective action.*Assets courtesy of Big Picture Ranch.

The temperate rainforests of the West Coast exist because of salmon magic. These fish feed the trees, the trees protect the fish, and everything else that lives under the canopy of the ancient old-growth benefits from this interplay. Protecting these 'salmon forests' from logging and wildfire can have enormous benefits for human life and the climate, according to author Lynda Mapes whose new book is called The Trees are Speaking: Dispatches from the Salmon Forests. And we speak to Tsm'syen scientist Sm'hayetsk Teresa Ryan, about why the key to saving what old-growth is left in Canada could come down to Indigenous leadership.

That's why World Tree's innovative approach to carbon capture through a remarkable natural technology, the Empress Splendor tree, stands out.Doug Willmore, CEO of World Tree, explained on today's episode how their model leverages the fastest growing hardwood tree in the world to address climate change while creating real economic opportunities. "World Tree represents the most complex, technologically advanced carbon capture system on the planet, and it's called a tree," Doug said. "It's the fastest growing hardwood tree in the world... and will have a 60-foot tall tree within eight to ten years."What sets World Tree apart is not only the speed and effectiveness of its tree-based carbon capture, but also the company's commitment to sustainable, long-term impact. When harvested, the Empress Splendor trees regrow from the stump, offering five harvests from a single planting. The lumber is used to create high-value products like musical instruments and furniture, locking away carbon for generations.In addition to their environmental impact, World Tree is making waves in the investment world. The company is currently raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign, allowing individual investors to participate directly in their annual "vintages" of tree plantings. Doug noted, "Little old World Tree has partnered with now 370 small farmers and 1,500 small investors over these nine years. The value of the assets that we have planted: more than $300 million."The EcoTree program offers a triple-bottom-line impact: profits for farmers, returns for investors, and massive climate benefits for the planet. "We call it putting your money where your heart is," Doug shared.Investors can participate in World Tree's EcoTree program by visiting ecotreeprogram.com. It offers a powerful opportunity to align investments with values while potentially earning attractive returns.Today's episode showcases how climate solutions can be tangible, accessible, and profitable, thanks to innovative models like World Tree.tl;dr:World Tree uses the Empress Splendor tree to capture carbon and create valuable long-lasting products.CEO Doug Willmore shares how World Tree partners with small farmers and investors for mutual benefit.World Tree is raising capital through regulated crowdfunding, offering individuals a way to invest in climate solutions.Doug identifies his superpower as "love," applying trust, passion and positivity in leadership and business.Doug encourages embracing love, possibility and trust to build more impactful and fulfilling professional relationships.How to Develop Love As a SuperpowerDoug Willmore defines his superpower as "love." He explained in today's episode that love is "the most underused word in business" and emphasized its importance not just in ideas but in people, partnerships and daily work. Doug shared, "Love shows up when you dwell on possibility... it's love of people, love of the things you get to wake up and do every day." He noted that truly loving your goals and the work you do ensures the resilience needed to weather difficult times.Doug illustrated this superpower with the story of how he joined World Tree. After a successful career in healthcare and public service, Doug was drawn back into the private sector by his passion for fighting climate change. When he met Wendy Burton, World Tree's founder, they "fell in love" — not romantically, but with each other's vision and mission. Doug emphasized that their shared love for the idea of scaling a nature-based climate solution became the foundation for building a thriving organization that now manages over $300 million worth of trees.Doug offered actionable tips for developing love as a strength:Look for reasons to say "yes" rather than "no" in business decisions.Dwell on possibility instead of focusing immediately on barriers.Choose to trust people and give them opportunities to succeed.Stay connected to the passion behind your goals to maintain motivation.Avoid letting money-driven decisions crowd out purpose and heart.By following Doug's example and advice, you can make love a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileDoug Willmore (he/him):CEO, World TreeAbout World Tree: World Tree is focused on nature-based solutions to some of our biggest global challenges. We develop carbon forestry projects for the purpose of native forest protection, renewable timber production and carbon sequestration.World Tree funnels private capital into the regeneration of undervalued farmland through Empress-based forestry.Our goals are to:- Build the value and improve productivity of under-utilized farmland- Create robust returns for investors and landowners- Introduce a new, sustainable hardwood lumber to the U.S. market.- Protect and rebuild eco-systems through regenerative farming practices- Generate nature-based carbon offsets to tackle the climate crisisWorld Tree employs regenerative farming practices that restore ecosystem function, soils, and biodiversity.

A Sustainability Now Interview with Water Stories Founder, Zach Weiss What if the key to impacting climate change isn't as much about carbon as it is about water? In this episode, we are delighted to welcome back Zach Weiss, visionary water restoration expert and founder of Water Stories, for an exploration of how and why healing the water cycle can regenerate the planet. From extreme weather events—droughts and wildfires to catastrophic mudslides and floods—our planet's most pressing climate crises are symptoms of a broken water cycle—a situation that we have the ability to heal. Zach shares why water cycle restoration is the most effective, immediate, and scalable solution to stabilizing our climate, cooling landscapes, reversing desertification, and restoring thriving ecosystems. Drawing from real-world success stories, Zach shares how farms, cities, and even entire river systems are being revived through simple, nature-based interventions. In Montana, a parking lot became a thriving wetland in just two years, providing habitat for a rare and endangered salamander species. In India, through the work of Rajendra Singh, communities restored 13 rivers that had been dry for decades. These projects aren't just theoretical—they're proof that by working with nature, rather than against it, we can restore balance to the planet. With a community of 6000 and growing, Water Stories is spreading the word through education and action, providing extensive resources for individuals, professionals, and policymakers alike. They also offer a once-a-year six-month training that equips participants with the knowledge and skills to get involved in this regenerative work—work that has been successfully implemented by everyone from individual land stewards to government agencies.

Why Eating Local Isn't a Climate Solution Among the most popular bits of advice for those seeking to reduce their carbon footprint is to “eat local.” But unfortunately, eating local is not a climate solution that packs much of a punch. When it comes to lessening food's climate impact, it's almost entirely about eating less meat and more plants — not where those plants and meat come from.

How can geo-data become a game-changer in our fight against climate change? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Robert Hoddenbach, Global Director for Climate and Nature at Fugro, the world's leading geo-data specialist. With over 20 years of experience in geospatial and marine environments, Robert offers a deep dive into the critical role geo-data plays in understanding and mitigating the impacts of climate change, particularly in our oceans. Despite covering 70% of the Earth's surface, only 25% of the ocean has been mapped, leaving a vast knowledge gap in one of the planet's most crucial ecosystems. Robert explains how Fugro is at the forefront of addressing this challenge, using advanced technologies such as AI and machine learning to collect and analyze oceanic data. This data is not just vital for scientific research but also has practical applications, from laying underwater cables to understanding the ecosystem impacts on climate. We also explore how public-private partnerships and the sharing of ocean science data are essential for tackling global environmental challenges. Robert shares insights from Fugro's involvement in initiatives like Seabed 2030 and UNESCO's Ocean Decade for Ocean Science, highlighting the importance of collaboration in driving large-scale impact. But it's not just about data collection; it's about creating shared value. Robert discusses how Fugro balances commercial objectives with environmental preservation, emphasizing the need for long-term engagement with stakeholders to redefine value beyond shareholder returns. Join us as we uncover the future of ocean health, the technological innovations shaping the field, and the critical need for comprehensive geo-data to ensure a sustainable future for our planet. Could geo-data be the key to unlocking the mysteries of our oceans and safeguarding our environment? Tune in to find out, and share your thoughts on how technology can help us navigate these uncharted waters.

Eating less beef could make a large dent in Americans' climate pollution. But data show it's men who are disproportionately eating beef. Now food and climate researchers are thinking about how to impact climate pollution through the lens of gender. But for many U.S. men, eating fewer burgers or steaks can require overcoming some big obstacles.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Carbon capture has always seemed a little scammy, but in a blockbuster investigation co-published with Vox this week, we discovered just *how* scammy. Carolyn Raffensperger, executive director of the Science and Environmental Health Network, joins to walk us through the many issues with the technology, from the fact that it delivers little to no climate benefit to the fact that it creates a massive new public health threat.

On Monday July 10, the EcoAction committee of the Green Party of the United States held a webinar as to why carbon capture is a false climate solution – one however that is receiving tens of billions of dollars in grants and subsidies from United States taxpayers. The idea is to remove carbon from pollution before it goes into the atmosphere – thus allowing fossil fuels to continue to be burnt. We hear from Carolyn Raffensperger, executive director of the Science and Environmental Health Network, and Jim Walsh of Food and Water Watch. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

South-East Asia has big plans to become a regional carbon storage hub. Can it work or are the risks too great? Synopsis: Every first and third Sunday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. For years now, we've heard a lot about carbon capture and storage as one possible solution to climate change. CCS, as it is known, involves capturing carbon dioxide emissions from polluting operations, such as power plants, refineries and steel and cement production and injecting the CO2 deep underground.  And not just anywhere. It has to be the right type of geological formation to ensure the CO2 doesn't escape.  But CCS hasn't taken off quite as well as many, especially those in the fossil fuel industry, had hoped for. There have been several very costly failures. And yet there are plans to greatly scale up CCS, including the creation of regional CCS hubs. One of these is in South-east Asia, using depleted oil and gas wells.  This would lock away CO2 captured from industries in the region, or, CO2 brought in by tanker ships from major polluting nations such as Japan. So, is this a good idea? Can it make a difference in fighting climate change? Or, is it just storing up trouble for the future? To tell ST's climate change editor David Fogarty more about this is energy sector expert Grant Hauber, advisor for Asia for the Institute for Energy Economics & Financial Analysis, a US-based think tank.  Highlights of conversation (click/tap above): 2:02 What is carbon capture and storage? 4:33 What are CCS hubs and can you explain the regional plans to create them? 8:43 CCS has been around for several decades. What have we learned? 17:10 And what about liability? Who's responsible for any leaks? 21:01 CCS remains expensive. Will a high carbon price per tonne drive investment? 25:18 And what about alternative methods to remove CO2?

When it comes to solutions to the climate crisis, we’re going to need a whole menu of options. One item on the menu: clean hydrogen. The Joe Biden administration recently invested $7 billion into developing clean hydrogen hubs across the country, with hopes the technology could help reduce carbon emissions in a variety of industries. “Many people call it a Swiss Army knife of decarbonization,” said Emily Pontecorvo, staff writer at Heatmap News. “But the problem of thinking of it that way is that it takes so much energy to make hydrogen that you really only want to use it in cases where you don’t really have any other options.” On the show today, Pontecorvo explains the difference between “clean” and “dirty” hydrogen, how we might use hydrogen fuel, and why some climate advocates are skeptical of its climate friendliness. Then, the other labor story of the summer: rounds of walkouts by pharmacy staff at CVS and Walgreens. And we’ll get into how Sen. Tommy Tuberville's ongoing military promotion blockade has complicated a top military official’s health emergency. Later, we’ll hear a listener’s concerns about nuclear energy. And another listener was wrong about which countries export petroleum (until they played Tradle). Here’s everything we talked about: “Biden's Big Hydrogen Experiment Is About to Begin” from Heatmap News “White House puts $7 billion toward hydrogen hubs” from Marketplace “The race to scale up green hydrogen” from Financial Times “Column: Hydrogen is a crucial climate solution. It’s also a distraction” from The Los Angeles Times “What is hydrogen, and can it really become a climate change solution?” from The Conversation “Biden administration invests in hydrogen fuel, but hurdles remain” from Marketplace “Top Marine General Hospitalized After Apparently Having Heart Attack” from The New York Times “CVS and Walgreens pharmacy staff begin 3-day walkout” from CNN We want to hear your answer to the Make Me Smart question.
