In this post‑COP30 debrief, BII's Amal‑Lee Amin is joined by two leading voices in climate finance - Nick Mabey, CEO of E3G and founder of London Climate Action Week, and Rhian‑Mari Thomas, CEO of the Green Finance Institute, to share their reflections on what the summit delivered and how progress can be accelerated.Together, they discuss the key outcomes from COP30, examine the funding gaps that remain in global climate commitments, and reflect on how multilateral cooperation can be strengthened at a time of increasing geopolitical uncertainty.From the future of climate finance to the practical realities of turning pledges into measurable progress, the conversation highlights why collaboration across governments, institutions, and markets has never been more important.Listen to more about the progress being made to tackle the climate crisis, and explore how we can accelerate real‑world solutions to address the greatest challenge facing the world today.

As conflicts and tariff wars disrupt the global order, is political division preventing urgent action to protect the planet?A decade ago world leaders gathered at COP 21 in Paris to discuss the climate crisis - 194 countries signing a breakthrough agreement to limit global warming. By this year, as COP 30 meets in Brazil, the 1.5 degree target on global warming has been breached. Joining Gavin Esler to discuss the future for climate action and whether countries can find consensus to meet the biggest challenges of our time, is Nick Mabey, founding director and CEO of independent climate change think tank E3G - and also the founder of London Climate Action Week.  • This episode of This Is Not A Drill is supported by Incogni the service that keeps your private information safe, protects you from identity theft and keeps your data from being sold.

In this episode of Old Town New World, we talk to Clarence Edwards, U.S. Executive Director of E3G, a global think tank working at the intersection of climate, geopolitics, and economics. Clarence shares how E3G builds international consensus on climate action—working with governments, the private sector, and energy industries to move toward the organization's mission of a safe climate for all. He reflects on his earlier career lobbying for the Quaker Church on climate and energy policy, and explains why E3G no longer engages directly in U.S. politics, focusing instead on global collaboration and forward-looking climate strategy.Clarence brings over two decades of experience in U.S. foreign policy, international development, and strategic communications, having represented governments, NGOs, and foundations. Before joining E3G, he led sustainable energy and environmental policy at the Friends Committee on National Legislation and previously spent six years at the Australian Embassy advising on U.S. government engagement. He has also represented organizations such as the Sabin Vaccine Institute, the ONE Campaign, and the Enough Project, and held roles at the Department of Energy, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the State Department.

In our 60th episode, we delve into the very interesting concept of "MegaProjects" for offshore wind. We believe that megaprojects have the potential to create a critical mass of market demand, making large supply chain and infrastructure investment easier to justify, and provide a mechanism that gives public and private partners certainty over the nature, timing and location of those investments. Against the backdrop of ambitious 2030 offshore wind deployment targets, there is a strong argument to be made for thinking bigger. Our hosts, Head of Analysis & Insights, Tom Quinn and A&I Manager, Emily Rees, are joined by our Head of Strategic Development and Policy, David Wallace, Senior Policy Adviser at E3G, Susie Elks and last but not least, Director of the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) and Clean Power 2030 Advisory Commissioner, Robert Gross.

The 2025 edition of the June climate meetings in Bonn (formally ‘the sixty-second sessions of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice and the Subsidiary Body for Implementation of the UNFCCC', or ‘SB62') took place 16 to 26 June. These meetings, which take place every year, constitute the only formal space for negotiations ahead of the COP, and are therefore very important.   In this episode of the Climate Briefing, Anna and Ruth speak to Alden Meyer (Senior Associate at E3G) and Catherine Abreu (Director of the International Climate Politics Hub) about what the main outcomes of the conference were, what the key sticking points were, and what it all means for COP30.

As the impacts of climate change intensify and clean energy deployment becomes crucial, energy and climate diplomacy have emerged as powerful tools to drive international cooperation and unlock finance, technology, and ambition. From global summits like COP, G7, and G20, to bilateral and multilateral partnerships, countries are negotiating entire frameworks for energy access, green industrial growth, and just transitions.But how does climate diplomacy actually work? What are the real levers for influencing outcomes in a fragmented, multipolar world? And once big declarations are made, how do we ensure follow-through and accountability on the ground?To unpack these questions, we speak with Madhura Joshi, Programme Lead - Asia Hub at E3G. Madhura is an expert in international energy and climate negotiations.Full transcript of the episode is available in EnglishPresented by 101ReportersMadhura Joshi is on Twitter and  LinkedInFollow TIEH podcast on Twitter, Linkedin & YouTubeOur hosts, Shreya Jai on Twitter, Linkedin & Dr. Sandeep Pai on Twitter, Linkedin

Populism is a political approach that claims to speak for “ordinary people” – those who feel ignored or left behind established elite groups. Around the world, populist movements frequently frame environmental action as elitist, out of touch with the priorities of “real people.” In this episode, James and Daisy discuss the rise of populism. What exactly is populism? How is it shaping public attitudes towards climate action? How must the climate movement adapt?  SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: ·     The New Statesman (2025) – “It's time for climate populism” – an interesting article by Caroline Lucas and Rupert Ready. Caroline Lucas, the former MP and Green Party leader, has warned that the rise of populism and the acceleration of the nature and climate emergences are becoming increasingly interlinked. ·     Yale Program on Climate Communication conducts scientific research on public climate change knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour, and the underlying factors that influence them. OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:·     Greg Jackson – The founder of Octopus Energy has said "British people support net zero, but not if bills rise. We need to reform the market urgently to maintain public backing for cutting emissions. Clean energy can be cheaper to generate, but our outdated market means consumers don't benefit. Billpayers are forking out billions to switch off wind farms on windy days while households and industry struggle with high bills - instead of enjoying cheaper energy. A modern market could save tens of billions over the next 15 years."·     The Guardian (2025) – A Channel 4 study, Gen Z: Trends, Truth and Trust, found 52% of Gen Zers thought “the UK would be a better place if a strong leader was in charge who does not have to bother with parliament and elections”. 33% of those aged 13-27 agreed that the UK would be better off “if the army was in charge”, and 47% agreed that “the entire way our society is organised must be radically changed through revolution”.·     The Order of the Day – A book by Éric Vuillard telling the story of the pivotal meetings which took place in Germany in the run-up to World War Two. ·     The MIT Press Reader (2021) – “Populism is on the rise. From 1990 to 2018, the number of countries with populist leaders increased from four to 20.”·     Sky News (February 2025) – A YouGov poll showed Reform UK leading for the first time, topping the poll at 25%, ahead of Labour at 24% and the Conservatives at 21%.  ·     E3G (2024) – This article provides a clear overview of the politics of populism and climate action. ·     Sabin Center for Climate Change Law – This Climate Backtracker identifies steps taken by the Trump-Vance administration to scale back or wholly eliminate federal climate mitigation and adaptation measures. Thank you for listening!

What did it take to get nearly 200 nations to agree on tackling climate change in 1997? And what have we learned in the decades since?In this episode, we reflect on the drama, the impact and the legacy of the Kyoto Protocol, and go behind the scenes of the Royal Shakespeare Company's powerful and acclaimed production of Kyoto, currently playing in London's West End.After watching a performance of the play this week, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson introduced a live event at The Conduit, bringing together those who were in the room at COP3 in Kyoto with those now shaping the path to COP30 in Belém and beyond.First, we hear from a panel of seasoned voices from the world of international climate diplomacy, moderated by climate journalist Ed King. Farhana Yamin, longtime negotiator for small island states, speaks of how Kyoto helped amplify the voices of vulnerable nations for the first time. Nick Mabey, co-founder of E3G, reflects on Kyoto's economic impact, arguing that it sparked a global clean tech revolution by making climate action economically viable. And Richard Kinley, former Deputy Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC, offered rare insights into the diplomacy that shaped Kyoto. Together, they paint a vivid picture of Kyoto's legacy and what it still offers to today's climate movement.Later, we hear from the playwrights behind Kyoto, Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson, about how they turned bureaucratic negotiations into riveting on-stage drama.So, what's changed since 1997? Are we in a better place thanks to Kyoto? And is multilateralism still fit for purpose in today's world?Follow us on social media for behind the scenes moments and to watch our videos:Instagram @outrageoptimism LinkedIn @outrageoptimismOr get in touch with us via this form.Producer: Ben Weaver-HincksVideo Producer: Caitlin HanrahanExec Producers: Ellie Clifford and Dino SofosCommissioning Editor: Sarah Thomas This is a Persephonica production for Global Optimism and is part of the Acast Creator Network.

It is becoming common for the fossil fuel industry to sue governments that attempt to decarbonise over “lost future profits.” They do so via an obscure part of international law called international-state dispute settlements (ISDS) that can allow them to extract billions in public money. Alasdair speaks to Eunjung Lee, a senior policy advisor at think tank E3G. The two discuss how ISDS began, how the international treaties came to being predatory, and what measures countries should take to prevent the exploitation of the claims.  Eunjung Lee is a senior policy advisor at think tank E3G and is the lead investigator of international investment governance. She previously served as a South Korean diplomat and has worked in the Korean embassy in London. Further reading:  Investment treaties are undermining the global energy transition  - E3G The climate crisis requires a new approach to international investment treaties - E3G The Energy Charter Treaty remains the most dangerous investment treaty to the energy transition - E3G Clean investments shun Investor-State Dispute Settlements - E3G  Investor-state disputes threaten the global green energy transition | Science “Shocking and sad”: how corporations use investment agreements to block decarbonisation in the Global South - Land and Climate Review  How Exxon is using international law to sue the Dutch government   Click here to read our investigation into the UK biomass supply chain, or watch a clip from the BBC Newsnight documentary.

A Comissão Europeia propôs nesta quarta-feira (26) um vasto plano para impulsionar a indústria limpa no bloco e reposicionar as fabricantes europeias, dizimadas pela concorrência chinesa e americana, no foco da descarbonização. Com a medida, Bruxelas sinaliza que, apesar dos retrocessos nos Estados Unidos e dos crescentes questionamentos dentro da própria UE, não vai desviar do caminho da neutralidade climática até 2050. Lúcia Müzell, da RFI em ParisO pacto prevê um arsenal de medidas de estímulo, com a mobilização de € 100 bilhões para investimentos e o alívio nas regulamentações em vigor, para apoiar a recuperação das empresas. Em paralelo, visa baixar o alto custo da energia, por meio da modernização da rede elétrica e a diminuição da dependência externa de fósseis a longo prazo, graças ao desenvolvimento das renováveis.O texto quebra o tabu de visar a "preferência pelo europeu” – o made in Europe está no coração do Pacto para a Indústria Limpa, nota Neil Makaroff, diretor do think tank Perspectivas Estratégicas, baseado em Paris e Bruxelas."A Europa, ao contrário dos Estados Unidos, não volta atrás na descarbonização e não cogita voltar à economia do gás, do petróleo e do carvão – pelo contrário, a descarbonização é um dos motores da estratégia industrial”, disse a jornalistas. "A UE quer atrair para o seu território as usinas da transição e entrar em concorrência com a China nesta área, e quer descarbonizar a sua base industrial já existente de aço, cimento, químicos, para torná-la mais competitiva.”Plano em vigor não teve estratégiaO Pacto Ecológico, lançado em 2019, prevê um plano para a indústria, mas falhou ao não trazer nem uma estratégia clara, nem o financiamento necessários para as empresas europeias enfrentarem a avalanche de produtos chineses que inundaram o mercado do continente. O bloco sofre uma perda de competitividade estrutural que o encaminha para o declínio, espremido entre os dois poderosos concorrentes que apostaram pesado na produção de turbinas eólicas, painéis fotovoltaicos e baterias elétricas.Potências industriais como a França e a Alemanha viram dezenas de fabricantes fecharem as portas, inclusive nestes setores essenciais para a transição energética. "A nossa diferença em relação à China e aos Estados Unidos é que eles têm estratégia. A China tem uma há 10 anos e os EUA lançaram o Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) em 2022. Ainda não sabemos bem o que ele vai virar, mas os americanos souberam criar um apoio tão massivo à indústria limpa que até capitais europeus começaram a financiar projetos lá”, salienta Celia Agostini, diretora da Cleantech for France. "A questão principal para nós é saber se o Pacto para a Indústria Limpa será essa esperada estratégia, que nós desejamos há tanto tempo.”O plano confirma a meta europeia de cortar 90% das emissões de gases de efeito estufa até 2040 e coloca a economia verde no foco desse objetivo. Para atingi-lo, o impulso à eletrificação da economia será uma etapa fundamental, que o projeto pretende contemplar. A França conseguiu impor a energia nuclear no pacote de energias descarbonizadas, mas Paris e Berlim divergem sobre destinar recursos para estas usinas.Investimentos podem reverter atrasosO projeto também visa beneficiar com isenções de taxas as empresas que fabricarem com menos impacto de carbono. "Uma bateria fabricada na Europa é 32% mais cara do que uma na China, mas se o critério da pegada de carbono é adotado, as regras do jogo mudam completamente e uma bateria europeia se torna tão competitiva quanto a chinesa. Isso pode ser replicado em vários setores da indústria verde”, frisa Makaroff. “Mas atenção: a própria China está focada em limpar setores específicos, como a produção de aço verde."Ciarán Humphreys, especialista na indústria limpa do Institut for Climate Economics (I4CE), insiste na importância do aumento dos investimentos públicos europeus. Países reticentes, como Dinamarca e Finlândia, têm se mostrado mais abertos à ideia de um empréstimo comum europeu para financiar a indústria da defesa, em meio às tensões geopolíticas internacionais, mas também a economia verde.“Se nós falharmos, teremos mais fechamentos de empresas e de empregos, e a Europa terá um atraso impossível de recuperar em relação à China. É crucial para a nossa descarbonização, mas também para a nossa soberania, porque uma transição na qual temos que comprar tudo, em vez de fabricarmos nós mesmos, não será apoiada a longo prazo pelos cidadãos europeus”, ressalta. “Também representa um risco estratégico, como vimos no caso da Rússia e o uso que Putin fez do fornecimento de gás para a Europa, como uma arma contra o bloco”, lembra.Flexibilizações de regras frustram ambientalistasOutro aspecto importante é o da simplificação das regulamentações em vigor, foco de tensão política entre os Estados-membros e que contribuiu para as fabricantes europeias perderem a corrida industrial limpa, segundo seus críticos. Na tentativa de acalmar o sentimento anti-UE, a Comissão apresentou o chamado pacote Omnibus, que busca aliviar ou até modificar a legislação europeia adotada no quadro do Pacto Verde, principalmente em questões sociais e ambientais.A medida é uma exigência antiga do meio empresarial, que acusa o que seria um excesso de regulamentação como um dos principais fatores para a perda da competitividade europeia. Do outro lado, organizações ambientalistas e de defesa de direitos humanos temem que um retrocesso no dever de vigilância e na transparência da cadeia produtiva levem as empresas a relaxar no desmatamento importado ou o uso de mão de obra em condições degradantes, na própria Europa ou no exterior.O "dever de vigilância” imposto aos industriais pode ser adiado em um ano, e o número de empresas sujeitas à chamada contabilidade verde – publicação de dados referentes à sustentabilidade da cadeia – cairia de 50 mil para apenas 10 mil."Vemos sinais incoerentes por parte da Comissão. De um lado, ela diz que a Europa se compromete a atuar pela competitividade, sob as bases de uma transformação sustentável. Mas, do outro, indica que todo o quadro regulatório que foi estabelecido, que passou por tantas instâncias e foi aprovado por todos, poderá ser revisto, sem nenhuma análise de impacto”, aponta Jurei Yada, diretora de Finanças Sustentáveis Europeias da E3G. "Do ponto de vista da estabilidade regulamentar, que é muito importante para os investidores, principalmente os estrangeiros, isso pode atrapalhar. A fragmentação das exigências cria confusão e atrapalha os investimentos”, complementa.Leia tambémNova norma obriga reciclagem de roupas na UE, mas volume e baixa qualidade das peças impedem avançosO comissário europeu de Estratégia Industrial, Stéphane Séjourné, defendeu as medidas e disse que elas demonstram que "a Europa sabe se reformar”. “Sem motosserra, mas com homens e mulheres competentes, que escutam os atores econômicos”, argumentou, sem poupar uma ironia ao recente encontro entre Elon Musk e o presidente argentino, Javier Milei, no qual o bilionário ergueu o aparelho.O projeto do Pacto para a Indústria Limpa e o pacote Omnibus devem agora ser encaminhados à aprovação do Parlamento Europeu e dos Estados-membros.

According to a recent report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), by sustaining its current expansion rate of renewable energy, China could cut 30% of power sector emissions & increase non-fossil energy share to over 40%. This would require renewable capacity of 5,000 GW by 2035 (roughly 3x current renewable capacity, or 4x current wind and solar capacity) and halting approvals of all new unabated coal power plants. CREA's report argues these goals can only be achieved through robust national targets, such as through the forthcoming Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) targets.  In this podcast, we speak with CREA's Belinda Schäpe about the details of this analysis, which was reported on in detail in Reuters, Bloomberg, and AFP.  Belinda is a China Policy Analyst with the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) where she analysis China's decarbonisation journey and advises policymakers on their diplomatic engagement with China. Previously, Belinda worked on climate diplomacy with China at the climate change think tank E3G, at the European Commission, Dialogue Earth, and a number of organisation working on economic cooperation between Europe and China. Belinda holds a double master's degree in International Affairs from the London School of Economics and Peking University and a bachelor's degree in Chinese Studies and Business Administration from Tübingen University.  The full report from CREA is available here: https://energyandcleanair.org/publication/chinas-clean-energy-trends-could-cut-emissions-by-30-in-2035-if-sustained/ 

The UN climate treaty summit known as COP29 teetered on the edge of collapse as less developed nations implored the rich countries of the global north to provide financial relief to help them cope with rising climate costs. Alden Meyer of E3G was at the COP and explains the frustrations with the process and the compromise delegates eventually reached.  Also, astronomer Phil Plait wondered what it would be like to walk on Mars, fall into a black hole, or fly through a nebula, so he wrote a book, Under Alien Skies: A Sightseer's Guide to the Universe. He reveals the strange colors of a sunset on Mars, what it's like on a planet orbiting binary stars, the unique challenges of landing on an asteroid, and more. --  Join us on December 5 at 6:30 p.m. Eastern online or at the New England Aquarium for a conversation between Host Steve Curwood and Susan Casey about exploring the deep sea, home to otherworldly marine life, soaring mountains, and smoldering volcanoes.

Delegates from nearly 200 countries are meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan for the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change's 29th Conference of the Parties. Alden Meyer of the climate think tank E3G is a longtime observer of these meetings, and he shares his first impressions as these talks kick off. Although the global average temperature has been steadily increasing for decades, in 2023 there was a sudden jump of 0.2 degrees Celsius. Dr. Jennifer Francis, Senior Scientist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center, joins us to discuss the temperature spike and its implications for the climate crisis. After Hurricane Maria destroyed Puerto Rico's power grid in 2017, much of the island was left without electricity for up to a year, leaving vulnerable populations in the lurch. Many Puerto Ricans are pushing for a reliable, sustainable electricity system, but a proposed utility-scale solar project has sparked concerns, explains environmental attorney Ruth Santiago. -- Interested in gaining hands-on experience with producing a radio show and podcast?

When Donald Trump was elected in 2016, attendees of that year's COP in Marrakech said an “orange cloud” had descended on the talks.   Eight years later, Trump has once again punctured the mood of this year's climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan.     On this episode of Sky News Daily we explore what the next Trump administration could mean for climate progress with Alden Meyer, senior associate at E3G working on US and international climate policy and politics, who has been to every COP bar one, since 1995.     Plus, Sky's Tom Clarke, science and technology editor, joins Niall from Azerbaijan to discuss the significance of COP29.  Producer: Soila Apparicio Editor: Philly Beaumont 

Last year's COP28 climate conference saw some big pledges, including tripling renewables and doubling energy efficiency by 2030 and agreeing to transition away from fossil fuels. With COP29 and COP30 on the horizon, it's important to look at what is needed in the run-up to 2030 to get the world on track to meet its energy and climate goals.How will that change the way our world looks? And what can we expect the energy transition to look like in 2030? Over the next few weeks, the Watt Matters team will try to answer those questions.For our first episode, Maria Pastukhova from climate think tank E3G joins the team to discuss why 2030 is such a crucial date, the role of international meetings, like the upcoming COP29 and COP30 meetings, and the world's progress towards the COP28 goals.Enjoy the show!Download our award-winning app and enjoy access to all exclusive features.

Why is making UK homes more efficient so difficult? So asked journalist Leyla Boulton earlier this year in the pages of the Financial Times. Seeing a retrofit article in the FT piqued our interest, even more so once we realised Leyla is a senior editor with an esteemed background in political and environmental reporting. She was reporting on Kyoto where no one cared.Since beginning her retrofit journey Leyla has become a campaigner and it's this that you'll hear as we discuss the mainstreaming retrofit for the able-to-pay market, an endeavour borne of her experiences delving into the retrofit sector motivated by efforts to make her own home more energy efficient. Typically we talk about the barriers to take up, a desperately unhelpful planning bureaucracy, poorly designed institutional support, hamstrung local authorities and councils, and the need to do better in designing a system that works.Do check Leyla's article if you can. In spite of the broad air of dismay at how difficult things are, she describes meeting lots of helpful and enthusiastic people who were hamstrung in their efforts.Notes from the showLeyla Boulton on LinkedInFive Lessons from a Neighbourhood Campaign (FT, December 2023) - a free-to-read article in the FT on Leyla's campaign (the others are paywalled)Why is making UK homes more efficient so difficult?

The energy transition is taking place in a complex world of ongoing historic geopolitical tensions and financial divides between countries. Lisa Fischer from climate think tank E3G joins the Watt Matters team to discuss decarbonisation policymaking in a complicated and adversarial world.The world needs to decarbonise if it is to limit drastic global warming. However, this is happening in the context of growing conflicts and a varying list of priorities and ideologies.With 2030 targets now just around the corner, richer nations need to show that the energy transition is possible and help make finance available to enable global change. All the while they need to ensure that they don't get bogged down in overdependence on fuels, unreliable supply chains and stranded assets.This requires a carefully planned approach to the energy transition that brings everyone along for the ride.

The German Bundestag passed a controversial measure in September to reduce emissions from heated buildings, which accounts for an estimated 15 percent of Germany's carbon dioxide output. But will this and other strategies of the German government to transform energy production and consumption help Germany reach its climate goals? In this latest Transatlantic Takeaway episode recorded as world leaders discuss climate change at the UN General Assembly in New York, hosts Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson of Common Ground Berlin and Rachel Tausendfreund of the German Marshall Fund interview Sven Egenter, editor in chief and executive director of Clean Energy wire in Berlin and Max Gruenig, senior policy advisor in Washington, D.C., focusing on US-EU climate diplomacy for independent climate change think E3G.Dina Elsayed produced this episode.

The failure of G20 countries last month to agree on a plan to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 highlights a key problem in the ongoing debate over how to respond to climate change: the institutions that are designed to help solve this problem are failing.It's not clear what China's role was in that debate at the G20 but elsewhere Beijing's actions on combatting climate change are somewhat contradictory. While China is by far the world's leader in renewable energy and green transportation, it's also the world's largest polluter, thanks in part to its reliance on coal power.This week, Byron Tsang, a London-based senior policy advisor at the independent climate change think tank E3G, and Madhura Joshi, a senior research associate for E3G in Mumbai, join Eric & Cobus to discuss the current state of global climate diplomacy.JOIN THE DISCUSSION:X: @ChinaGSProject| @stadenesque | @eric_olander | @madhurajoshi23 | @byfordtLinkedIn: Byford Tsang: https://www.linkedin.com/in/byfordtsangMadhura Zoshi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/madhura-joshi-b1b9a622Facebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProjectYouTube: www.youtube.com/@ChinaGlobalSouthFOLLOW CAP IN FRENCH AND ARABIC:Français: www.projetafriquechine.com | @AfrikChineعربي: www.akhbaralsin-africia.com | @AkhbarAlSinAfrJOIN US ON PATREON!Become a CAP Patreon member and get all sorts of cool stuff, including our Week in Review report, an invitation to join monthly Zoom calls with Eric & Cobus, and even an awesome new CAP Podcast mug!www.patreon.com/chinaafricaprojectSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Former Energy Minister Chris Skidmore's report into Net Zero calls for ambitious policies to drive energy transition, framing it as a huge economic opportunity to drive national growth. Using and conserving energy in the home is one theme the report tackles. We discuss home insulation with Colm Britchfield , policy advisor at E3G. His recent report found those in some of the worst housing , in the private rented sector could save hundreds of pounds a year if their homes were properly insulated. But what is the incentive for landlords to pay for insulation? Electric heat pumps have been heralded as an alternative to gas boilers, but they are currently more expensive and finding an installer is not easy. Rebecca Dibb-Simkin from Octopus Energy tells us how they are working to make the technology more available. And what is the role of local authorities in the strive for net zero? We hear from Polly Billington, chief executive of UK 100 – a network of local government leaders committed to sustainability policies. How do you catch a poacher? One way might be through their own mobile phone. Another is using a camera trap which sends a signal to game wardens. These are technologies developed by Tim Van Deursen and Thijs Suijten from Hack the Poacher. And we look at new findings on one of Australia's Iconic species – Echidnas. Dr Christine Cooper at Cutin University in Western Australia, found this marsupial is actually remarkably heat tolerant, and capable of handling temperatures which were previously thought to be lethal.

A gunman opened fire and killed 5 people at Club Q, an LGBTQ+ club in Colorado Springs. The club existed as a safe haven for the gay community in a predominantly-conservative area. Paolo Zialcita, a general assignment reporter at Colorado Public Radio, joins us to discuss what we know so far. Then, after two weeks of talks, the COP17 climate conference wrapped up with some major developments, namely an agreement over a climate reparations fund. However, some other aspects such as mitigating rising temperatures were deemed failures. Alden Meyer, senior associate at climate change think tank E3G, joins us. And, Jerry Seinfeld's show "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and Seinfeld has debuted a book of the same nature.

Palm oil and climate justice – what is the story? Social impact pioneer, Anita Neville, helps us unpack this complex topic. This podcast forms part of a series - examining how business addresses climate justice. Together, we hear how businesses are working to put people at the heart of their climate action. Listen to this conversation to find out how one major agricultural business is working to remove deforestation from its business; where green washing and green hushing collide; and why supporting workers and farming communities, both big and small, is essential in creating a just transition in a low carbon future. Palm oil is a contentious topic. On the one hand its high yields and efficient land use provides a highly sustainable product vital to the global food chain as well as much needed income for small farmers in rural Indonesia. On the other, vast areas of tropical forest have been cleared to make way for palm plantations and these plantations are often monocultural. Listen to this podcast to find out the goings on within of one of the world's biggest palm oil companies and how it is moving to address the urgent need for more sustainable practices. Anita Neville is the Chief Sustainability and Communications Officer for Golden Agri-Resources, the Singaporean palm oil company with over 170,000 employees, primarily working out of Indonesia. Anita's career journey includes ten years with the Rainforest Alliance working to conserve tropical forests, time spent with WWF, and several years with E3G, the environmental politics think tank specialising in climate diplomacy and energy policy. Anita talks from the fringes of the climate COP27, in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. She shares the impressions she has from her first climate conference and why bringing together organisations from across sectors can help drive deeper social and environmental impact.

It has been a tumultuous time for nature in the UK with many of the existing legal protections for species and habitats coming under threat. To kick off our new series we speak to Natalie Bennett, Green member of the House of Lords and former leader of the Green Party and Karla Hill, Associate Director at think tank E3G and former Director of Programmes at Client Earth about the relationship between climate and politics. Will the cost of living and energy crises push the agenda for nature protection right out of the frame? Will climate and nature be the defining issue in the next election? Amanda also talks to Planet Pod Executive Producer Jim Haywood for a new segment reflecting on the natural world and exploring innovations in science and technology that will help us restore the balance.

This week we're looking at energy storage, and the technologies being developed to improve how we store and use renewable energy. Clean energy storage is vital to decarbonising the economy, so to get to grips with it we have Jillian Ambrose, energy correspondent at the Guardian, Simon Skillings from E3G, and Nina Skorupska from The Association for Renewable Energy and Clean technologies.Plus, Ed's been bothering people on public transport (again).Email your comments, questions and episode ideas to reasons@cheerfulpodcast.com or at www.cheerfulpodcast.com and follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Banks around the world are increasingly deserting coal projects, from mining to power plants. And the case is no different in India. Coal is after all the most polluting fossil fuel and the biggest contributor to climate change.  India is currently constructing 34GW of new coal capacity on top of its existing fleet of 233GW. Notably, a recent study by independent climate change think tank E3G has found that since 2015, 326GW of proposed coal projects in India have seen cancellations, which means a 92% decrease in the pipeline.   The economics are also not favourable towards building new coal plants, which means India's pre-construction pipeline of 21GW risks getting scrapped. India's renewable power tariffs are among the lowest in the world. It has seen a remarkable increase in the capacity addition of renewable energy generation led by solar and wind power.  Several power plants are set to be decommissioned in the coming years. Coal plants are normally decommissioned after the completion of their useful life, which could range anywhere from 25 to 45 years.  The International Energy Agency estimates India's coal demand to grow 4% annually till at least 2024.  And a report by NITI Aayog in December said that coal-based electricity generation capacity in India is likely “to peak at about 250 GW” by the end of this decade or immediately thereafter whereas coal-based electricity generation will slow down, and likely peak a few years later. Amid such forecast, an expert panel set up by NITI Aayog has proposed a scrappage policy for thermal power plants. Approximately 54GW of coal plants could be considered for retirement by 2030.  What this means is that a reduction in thermal power generation capacity will not translate into lower coal consumption. Existing power plants are in a comfortable position to absorb the growth in coal demand over the medium term, which could also improve their efficiency. Since funding is hard to come by in the sector, new projects beyond those already under construction are unlikely to come up. This, however, will not mean that the end of coal is near even though it will grow at a much slower pace than renewable power generation. Watch Video

By Michael Buchsbaum This summer the European Commission finally unveiled their “Fit for 55” policy package. Aimed at ensuring the European Union reduces emissions and reaches climate neutrality by 2050, a key part of their plan is phasing in a “Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism” or CBAM. Framed as a pollution solution, it's been met with howls of protest, threats of trade wars and frustration from many corners. To unpack CBAM's complications, in this episode of the Global Energy Transition Podcast series, host Michael Buchsbaum, lead blogger of EnergyTransition.org interviews Silvia Weko, research associate with the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies at the University of Potsdam and Domien Vangenechten, policy advisor at climate change thinktank E3G in their Brussels office. Authors of separate pieces on CBAM, they share insights into this controversial tool's potential impacts and what to watch for as it gets hammered into shape going forward.

"I have always hoped and dreamt to work with young people because I've always felt that it is their future. It's so inspiring to be working with young people all around the world. I feel that we are in the midst of transformational change and that working together around these key moments where you can see those shifts happening – unimaginable things that you never thought were going to happen can happen. That would be my other advice to young activists that just when you aren't expecting it, something will happen and you'll be like, “I can't believe they just decided that! Holy cow!” And then you've got to celebrate."Jennifer Morgan took the helm of Greenpeace International in April 2016.

Saga Leslie and Skye Neulight are vegetarians but are interested in learning more about the meat industry in the United States. They visited a local farm to speak to cattle rancher Wes Myers to understand how cattle are raised. Carolita Landers, a graduate of animal science from Colorado State University, explains the different steps and processes required to bring beef from the farm to the table. Saga and Leslie chat with their peer Fiona McLoughlin, a recent high school graduate from The Thacher School, about factory farming in the United States to contrast industrial and local farming. After learning about the sustainability of meat consumption, they called Tom Burke, Chairman of think-tank E3G, for a global perspective on food security and sustainable animal agriculture.
