The Angry Clean Energy Guy's Top 10 Good Climate News Stories of 2025

Deforestation is accelerating, biodiversity loss is at record levels, and conservation funding still falls short by more than $700 billion a year. On this episode, Dr. Drea Burbank of Savimbo and Doug Heske of Newday Financial Technologies join CleanTech Talk to discuss how a new generation of “bio-credits” could transform how the world funds nature. From the Colombian Amazon to global investors, they explore how verified biodiversity credits and transparent funding platforms are reshaping conservation — and what it will take to scale a market that finally values ecosystems for what they're worth.

Real climate action isn't happening at the UN Climate talks—it's happening everywhere else. So, are the UN climate summits a waste of time? What is their actual purpose? Should they be reformed or simply shut down? The Angry Clean Energy Guy breaks down what you need to know about the UN's COP conferences and highlights examples of the massive, inexorable climate momentum building outside the negotiating halls.

Cousins Ave forest has been enjoyed by walkers, joggers and cyclists for decades. I regularly take my dog into the forest for a long run. Several weeks ago I arrived and found barriers erected as harvesting was commencing. I found a spot to sit and listen to the sounds of destruction in what was once a place of serenity.  This recording captures the sounds of machinery reducing a once serene forest to slash - a term used to describe the material left behind after trees are harvested. Not only has the forest been lost to the local community but it is has been lost to the local wildlife. It is rumoured that once harvesting is complete the land will be used for a new housing development. Recorded in Foxton Beach, New Zealand by Paul Dunham. 

Unusually heavy monsoon rains have hit Myanmar's central Dry Zone for the past two years, causing crop-damaging floods that have been made worse by deforestation and effects of the post-coup civil war. This episode commemorates World Soil Day on December 5.

This week's guest is an icon of Australia's environmental movement and someone I was both thrilled and daunted getting to spend some time with recently. Bob Brown is on the show and he is someone who needs little introduction. Politician, environmentalist, doctor, activist - few in this country have done as much to protect and preserve wild places, to advocate for same sex rights and challenge political orthodoxy over the last 50 years.Bob is a legend to me. He entered my consciousness in high school modern history along with Jack Mundy and their respective campaigns to prevent the damming of the Franklin River in the 1980s and the Green Bans in Sydney in the late 1970s respectively. Both represented efforts to avoid the destruction of natural beauty and cultural heritage. At the time of my schooling, Bob was a Senator in the Australian Parliament and leader of the Greens Party. His writings and speeches spoke to me - a kid who grew up confused by ecological destruction and determined to play a role in the injustice of human behaviour on landscape and other species.When the opportunity to chat with Bob came up and even though he only had 30 minutes, I had to say yes. If this endeavour has taught me anything, it's to say yes to what is daunting as on the other side of that fear and insecurity lies an experience both memorable and meaningful. Meeting one of my heroes was exactly that. We chat about Bob's latest book - Defiance - as well as his history activating others, interrupting the US President in the Australian Parliament and what the campaign to save the Franklin Dam and what seemed like a near-hopeless effort teaches us in this moment.So Bob Brown. This was an honour that I know will stay with me for a long time. I hope it resonates with you too.Support for today's show comes from Altiorem - use code FindingNature25 for 25% off an annual plan.Support for today's show comes from Jamberoo Mountain Tiny Home - add Finding Nature to the comments in your booking to receive the hot tub sunset package added for free. Thanks to Leah Mazzone for website, brand and social media assets and Rob Rogers for theme song. For all things Finding Nature, go to our website. Send me a messageThanks for listening.

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on devastating floods in Asia.

The spotted owl has been a conservation flashpoint for more than 30 years. While habitat loss has been their historic foe, their most recent threat comes from within the owl family tree: the barred owl. Barred owls have expanded into the Pacific Northwest and are now outcompeting spotted owls for food and habitat. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has put forth a strategy that some experts say is the only way to save the spotted owl, and it could involve killing hundreds of thousands of barred owls.Ecologist and spotted owl expert Rocky Gutierrez joins Host Flora Lichtman to break down the plan, and explain how we got to this point.Guest: Dr. R.J. “Rocky” Gutierrez is an owl ecologist and professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota. He's now based in Humboldt County, California.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com. Subscribe to this podcast.

In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we are joined by Etelle Higonnet, founder of Coffee Watch, a nonprofit watchdog organization dedicated to the proposition that we should make the world a better place with each cup of coffee. We uncover the hidden environmental and social costs of the global coffee industry — from deforestation and ecosystem degradation to human rights violations in coffee plantations in tropical landscapes around the world, with a focus on the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot!Once covered in dense tropical forests, the Western Ghats are now dominated by sprawling coffee plantations and monoculture plantations that have drastically altered the landscape. Our guest explores how the expansion of coffee production — driven by global demand — has replaced rich forest ecosystems with uniform monocultures, stripping away the region's ecological resilience. The shift from traditional shade-grown systems to sun-grown monocultures has disrupted soil health, eliminated natural canopy cover, and endangered pollinators, birds, and mammals that once thrived in these biodiversity-rich ecosystems.We dive deep into the link between coffee plantations and human–elephant conflict. As forest corridors shrink and elephants lose access to their migratory routes, they are forced into human settlements, resulting in tragic encounters that claim both human and animal lives. These conflicts reveal how unsustainable land use, habitat fragmentation, and poor biodiversity management intensify tensions between people and wildlife across the Western Ghats.The conversation also exposes the human dimension of the coffee industry — from exploitative labor practices to widespread human rights abuses. Behind the global demand for coffee lies a system where workers, many from marginalized communities, face poor wages, long working hours, and limited access to healthcare and education. These persistent human rights violations highlight how plantation economies, often celebrated for sustainability branding, continue to mask deep social inequities.Despite these challenges, the episode highlights pathways toward hope and reform through agroforestry and sustainable farming models. Traditional shade-grown coffee — where native trees coexist with coffee shrubs — demonstrates that economic production and biodiversity preservation can go hand in hand. Agroforestry practices support soil fertility, regulate microclimates, and restore ecological corridors, offering a viable alternative to monoculture plantations. They also provide co-benefits for farmers by diversifying income sources and improving resilience to climate change.Our guest calls for systemic change within global coffee supply chains — emphasizing ethical sourcing, fair trade, and transparency from farm to consumer. Protecting the biodiversity of the Western Ghats requires not only reforesting degraded lands but also addressing the social injustices embedded within plantation economies. Sustainable solutions must integrate ecological restoration with social equity, ensuring that conservation uplifts both people and nature.This episode challenges listeners to look beyond the aroma of their morning brew and consider its true cost. It's a deep dive into how the pursuit of profit in the coffee industry has reshaped tropical forests, threatened biodiversity, and violated human rights, and how agroforestry and community-driven conservation can chart a more ethical, sustainable future for both the planet and its people.About the HostAnish Banerjee is an early career ecologist, with a MSc in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation from Imperial College London.

A new survey shows a sharp slide in public concern for climate change, with war and conflict now dominating public worries. FRANCE 24's Yuka Royer speaks with Subhra Bhattacharjee, Director General of the Forest Stewardship Council, who tells her that despite fewer people citing climate change as their top concern, consumers are still preferring to shop green. "We have to translate the impacts of climate change into what it means for day-to-day action," she says.

“Their cup of coffee, that delightful delicious cup that's helping them start their day and fuel these wonderful moments with their friends and family, almost certainly has either slavery, child labor, and deforestation in it. How has this industry gotten away with the plastic, with the cups, the milk, the human rights abuses, the deforestation? Scientists tell us this is the 11th hour. We are running out of time.” What would drive someone to take on some of the most powerful industries on Earth? This episode dives deep with Etelle Higonnet, a lawyer turned fearless activist who has dedicated her life to exposing the hidden abuses behind the products we use every day. From cocoa and palm oil to rubber and now coffee, she has fought to rebuild broken systems from the inside out. As the founder of Coffee Watch, Etelle is leading a global effort to transform one of humanity's favorite and most destructive commodities into a model of sustainability and fairness. We explore how she has held corporations accountable, what it takes to create real impact, and why every purchase and every choice matters more than we realize. What we discuss in this episode: The hidden truth behind your daily cup of coffee: what's really going into it and who pays the price. What it would actually cost per cup to ensure your coffee is ethical and environmentally sound. How to find coffee that's sustainably sourced and free of toxic chemicals. The primary drivers of global deforestation. Dark secrets behind chocolate production. What agroforestry is and why it's critical to the planet's future. How climate change affects coffee production.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: President Donald Trump announced that the United States had murdered six more people on the high seas yesterday, in its fifth unprovoked attack on unarmed boats in the Caribbean, "asserting," as the New York Times puts it, "without evidence that they had been transporting drugs." Along with the social media post announcing the killing, the Times writes, "the President also posted a 33 second aerial surveillance video showing a small boat floating and then being struck by a missile and exploding. Unlike some previous announcements, the President did not identify the nationality of the people who were killed, or name a specific drug cartel or criminal gang with which they were supposedly associated." The Times goes on to once again run through the ways in which these killings are entirely illegal and unjustified under every legal analysis, and how the Trump administration has produced no substantive arguments otherwise, and how Congress has not identifiably authorized any such use of military force.

Fernando Bellese, senior director for beef and leather supply chains at WWF, talks with Ian Welsh about how a new deforestation free leather fund aims to scale transparency, improve pasture management and help reintegrate farmers into more tightly-regulated markets. They set out how these steps can safeguard farmer livelihoods in the transition to sustainable leather and prepare companies for tightening global deforestation regulations.

This month we are delighted to be joined by Markus Kröger, professor of Global Development Studies at University of Helsinki. Markus has joined the show before as a founder of the EXALT Initiative and as a PI in the Trees for Development project. This time Markus is here to talk to us about his new book from University of Cambridge Press, Clearcut: Political Economies of Deforestation. This open access book will be published open access in October 2025. Markus gives us a sneak peek into the key topics of the book, primarily the mechanisms of regionally dominant political economies (RDPE) and the role they play in driving extractive sectors. To make this novel theorization, Markus looked at cattle capitalism in Brazil, narco-gold in the Amazon, and paper pulping in Finland. Markus shows how these three different RDPEs drive deforestation in their respective locations.  Interested in reading Clearcut? https://www.cambridge.org/fi/universitypress/subjects/earth-and-environmental-science/environmental-policy-economics-and-law/clearcut-political-economies-deforestation?format=HB&isbn=9781009389549  Interested in learning more about Markus' work? https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/markus-kr%C3%B6ger  Interest in the Trees For Development Project? https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/trees-for-development
