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.

The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act is expected to unleash a wave of investment in renewable energy infrastructure. However, it also heavily favored investments at home, causing some concern among trading partners, including the European Union. Now, the EU is increasing its own efforts to promote the development of renewable energy.  S&P Global Commodity Insights reporters Molly Christian and Alex Blackburne join the show to discuss the differences in approaches between the U.S. and EU. The show also welcomes guests Michael Cerasoli, a portfolio manager of energy infrastructure strategies at Eagle Global Advisors, and Melanie Brusseler, a senior researcher at climate think tank E3G. Energy Evolution co-hosts Dan Testa and Taylor Kuykendall are veteran journalists with broad expertise covering the energy and mining sectors.

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. BBC Inside Science is produced in partnership with the Open University.

Die Aussagen von Maria Pastukhova und Mathias Koch sind unmissverständlich: "In Deutschland werden die Gasrechnungen bis 2030 doppelt so hoch bleiben", erklären die beiden Forscher der Denkfabrik E3G im "Klima-Labor" von ntv. Denn das günstige Gas aus russischen Pipelines wird nie wiederkommen, sind sie überzeugt. Deswegen sollte Deutschland nicht versuchen, alte Kapazitäten mit neuer Infrastruktur für Flüssiggas wieder aufzubauen, sondern seinen Verbrauch deutlich reduzieren. Wie? "Vor allem mit Wärmepumpen und Sanierungen", sagen Pasthukova und Koch im zweiten Teil des Interviews. Dafür brauche es politische Kreativität, klare Vorgabe und Planungssicherheit für Unternehmen.

Die russischen Pipelines sind Geschichte, Erdgas wird in Deutschland künftig über gleich mehrere LNG-Terminals an der Küste angeliefert. Ein Fehler, sagen Maria Pastukhova und Mathias Koch von der Denkfabrik E3G. Sie plädieren in einer Studie dafür, dass Deutschland seinen Gasverbrauch reduzieren, nicht die alten Kapazitäten wiederherstellen sollte. Das müsse ohnehin passieren, wenn wir unsere Klimaziele erreichen wollen, wie sie im "Klima-Labor" von ntv erklären. Es würde aber auch viel Geld sparen: "Wir reden nicht von einer zweijährigen Krise. Deshalb sollten wir uns fragen: Wäre es nicht rentabler, wenn wir die Einsparung jetzt vornehmen?", fragen Pastukhova und Koch.

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. "The Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Book" comes out Tuesday, and Seinfeld joins us to discuss it.

As COP27 draws to a close, we take another deep dive into the impacts of Russia's war against Ukraine on the climate negotiations and climate action at large. What were Moscow's priorities this year? How has the Russian delegation been treated by the rest of the climate community throughout the summit? Maria Pastukhova, a senior policy analyst at the climate think tank E3G, and Anna Korppoo, a research professor from the Fridtjof Nansens Institute in Norway, discuss these questions, and much more.The Eurasian Climate Brief is a podcast dedicated to climate issues in the region stretching from Eastern Europe to Russia down to the Caucasus and Central Asia.This episode is supported by n-ost, The Moscow Times and the European Climate Foundation, and made by:Natalie Sauer, a French British environmental journalist and English-language editor for The Conversation.  A former reporter for Climate Home News, her words have also appeared in international media such as Le Monde Diplomatique, Politico Europe, Open Democracy, Euractiv and the Heinrich Böll Foundation.Boris Schneider, European Journalism Project Manager at Clean Energy Wire (CLEW).

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.

High energy prices and a reduced supply of natural gas are pressuring the European economy. What possible impacts will this have on Europe's climate ambitions? Already we have seen a shift back to coal, and with the current war in Ukraine as a backdrop, it is little wonder that many raise concern. To help us ponder this question, we've brought along Taube van Melkebeke for this week's episode. She is a Policy Advisor on EU Politics and Climate Governance at E3G - an independent think tank whose aim is to steer the global transformation at the pace our planet requires. Before joining E3G, Taube was an attaché at the Permanent Representation of Belgium to the EU. — The NTNU Energy Transition Podcast aims to function as a knowledge hub that empowers individuals and organizations in Europe and beyond to tackle climate change and move our global society toward carbon neutrality.

In September 2019, Russia formally joined the Paris Agreement,  raising hopes the world's fourth emitter would finally throw its weight behind global decarbonisation efforts. The move followed years of lobbying from European governments, including Germany, France and Scandinavian countries. Nearly 3 years later, the Kremlin's war on Ukraine appears to have severely undermined climate action and international collaboration over climate science.  In an interview with Boris Schneider, Maria Pastukhova, a senior policy advisor at E3G climate think tank, assesses the  state of the ecological transition and advises on how the West can limit the damage.The Eurasian Climate Brief is a podcast dedicated to climate issues in the region stretching from Eastern Europe to Russia down to the Caucasus and Central Asia. This episode is supported by n-ost, The Moscow Times and The European Climate Foundation, and made by:• Natalie Sauer, a French British environmental journalist and English-language editor for The Conversation.

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

This episode examines how the UK and Russia are approaching the interlinked challenges of climate change and the transition from hydrocarbon reliance to ‘green' energy, and explores how these issues are shaping the domestic and foreign policies of the two countries, as well as their bilateral relationship. Professor Michael Bradshaw, Professor of Global Energy at the University of Warwick Business School, and Maria Pastukhova, Senior Policy Advisor in the energy and climate change think tank E3G's Berlin office, discuss with Dr Neil Melvin, Director RUSI International Security Studies, how efforts to tackle climate change and manage the energy transition away from carbon resources are affecting the geoeconomics of the UK–Russia relationship, and consider the potential for joint work in this area as the bilateral relationship has become increasingly confrontational.

Welcome back to the final episode of series one of Generation One, this week host Matt Winning is chatting about finance and tackling the question: Must cutting CO2 cost more for those with less? He is joined by Heather McKay, sustainable finance policy advisor at E3G, an independent climate change think tank, and Ashish Ghadiali, filmmaker and activist-in-residence at the Sarah Parker Remond Centre. Listen now to hear them discuss how finance is necessary to make action happen, how the UK is aiming to be a green finance leader and how we have to start by looking at big systematic change as well as the small individual actions you can take For more information on Generation One and to access the transcript: www.ucl.ac.uk/climate-change/podcast

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.

Find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/3EE1ya6 This major Cityforum project looks at what can be done to make life safer and more secure in the face of unprecedented security and environmental challenges. Focused less on analysis of the problems and more on hard-headed discussion of what can be done to deal with them. This opening webinar will take place on the eve of the COP26 conference in Glasgow. Opinions vary on what COP26 can achieve, but it will at the very least draw attention to the pace of climate change and environmental degradation. It is increasingly clear that there can be no winners from climate change; and that there are no quick fixes. The world has failed to limit emissions of greenhouse gases, and the consequences of climate change are combining with shifts in economic and geopolitical power to exacerbate tensions. This opening session is developed and chaired by Alderman Professor Michael Mainelli, Executive Chairman, Z/Yen Group, bringing together the Cityforum defence, security and resilience constituency and Professor Mainelli's wider international financial, economic and technological networks. Speakers: Hon Franklin D Kramer is a distinguished fellow and board director of the Atlantic Council. Mr. Kramer has served as a senior political appointee in two administrations, including as assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs. At the Department of Defense, Mr. Kramer was in charge of the formulation and implementation of international defense and political-military policy, with worldwide responsibilities including NATO and Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Mr. Kramer's areas of focus include defense, both conventional and hybrid; NATO and Russia; China, including managing competition, military power, economics and trade, and China-Taiwan-US relations; cyber including resilience and international cyber issues; innovation and national security; and irregular conflict and counterinsurgency.

Why does COP26 matter to shipping and what does the difference between a good COP and a bad COP look like for the industry? This week's Lloyd's List podcast explains why progress at COP26 will directly inform the pace of change inside the IMO and why failure will slow investment, undermine the IMO and amplify financial risk for the entire sector. Our expert panel of guests this week includes Felipe Calderón the former president of Mexico, Nick Mabey, who heads up the leading environmental thinktank E3G and the Shipping Lead on the Climate Champions team, Katharine Palmer

With the next big climate conference about to get underway in Glasgow, major breakthroughs look elusive. Among the spectres at the feast are raging geopolitical tensions, high energy prices, the ongoing pandemic and — in the wake of Brexit — a lack of diplomatic vigour from Europe. Nick Mabey is a founding director of the non-profit environmental group E3G who helped create Britain's first environmental diplomacy network. Nick urges Europeans to do much more to leverage progress on climate protection by stepping up alliances with countries most vulnerable to the effects of global warming.Listen to an interview with Connie Hedegaard in part one of this two-part series on Europe and the climate. Support the show (https://euscream.com/donate/)

"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.

In the 13th episode of Planet A, we commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Paris Agreement, as Dan Jørgensen talks with Alden Meyer about the history of the international climate negotiations. Meyer is one of the world’s most prominent advisers on climate policy and served as Director of Strategy and Policy at the Union of Concerned Scientistsfor four decades. Today he is senior associate for the climate think-tank E3G. During the conversation, Meyer takes us through from the adoption of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1992 to the conclusion of the Paris Agreement in 2015.He explains how COP15, while often described as a failure, also helped lay the groundwork for the Paris Agreement by introducing voluntary climate goals and a mechanism for ramping up national ambitions.Furthermore, Meyer discusses the numerous conflicts throughout the negotiation between the developed and the developing countries as well as between fossil fuel companies and NGOs.Meyer argues that the world is “moving in the right direction, but not fast enough”. Yet, he remains an optimist due to the surge of climate activism from young people around the globe and the increasing climate action from sub-national actors such as cities and states.

Today on the Podcast, I’m reviewing the Mira Fertility Tracker. I’ve been DESPERATE to know and understand when I’m ovulating, but I’ve been really picky about who I’ve partnered with.One of the questions I had on Instagram was “Whaaa? You’re ovulating even though you have had a hysterectomy?” and the answer is Yup! I do.If you head to my resource library, I’ve put together a great eBook that talks about what happens during our cycles - it’s SO important for us to understand this and I still can’t believe that we aren’t taught more of this in school. But essentially there are four hormones - LH and FSH - which come from our brain, and Estrogen and Progesterone which primarily come from our ovaries. I still have my ovaries and fallopian tubes, although I don’t have a uterus anymore nor most of my cervix…. And I still have a brain (ha!). So I still have my monthly cycle, even though there is no lining to shed at the end of each cycle.When I was trying to conceive, I used two methods to track my ovulation:Tracking my Basal Body TemperatureI tracked my BBT for about 7 months, and it was really time consuming. In order to do it properly, you’re supposed to do it while you’re lying in bed, as still as you can be, for about 10 minutes when you first wake up (without getting up), and even though I did that, I still never got the temperature spike that showed I was ovulating.If you’re trying to conceive, it’s also important to note that your basal body temperature spike is only telling you AFTER you’ve ovulated, so you can’t use this as the signal to do the deed, you can only use it as confirmation that ovulation has occurred.The problem for me though was that I never got that lovely graph that you’re supposed to have when tracking your BBT, and so aside from the time commitment, I wasn’t super keen to try that again.Using Cheap LH Ovulation StripsThe other thing I used when we were trying to conceive (before we hit the fertility clinic) was some cheap ovulation strips that I got from EBay. What. A. Waste. Because of the short window of ovulation, I was using multiple strips per day (and probably not correctly) and never once. Not once. Had a positive confirmation of ovulation (even though I ovulated quite regularly).So I’ll be completely honest with you - I’ve been looking into ovulation trackers for some time now and the bottom line was that I just wanted something that was convenient and accurate. Also, I wanted something that gave me a little bit more than a really short window to ovulation so I wanted something that went beyond just a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ in terms of whether I’ve ovulated or not. Enter the Mira Tracker.To date, the only other partnership I’ve done has been with the Mira tracker to be honest, even though I’m approached multiple times per week from other organizations.Since walking the path of infertility, I feel like I’ve become much more in tune with my body and the natural rhythms of my mood and energy across the month, so I had an idea of when I might be ovulating, but I truly wanted some confirmation.How to use the MiraSo the first thing you need to do when your Mira tracker arrives is to charge it up, and then install the Mira app on your phone so that it can sync all the data. It’s pretty cool because it uses bluetooth to sync everything and then you can see and compare your results, and it also has a graph you can see (and download if you want to send to your Naturopath or anything). Once it’s charged and you’ve got the app, you just connect your tracker and then you’re good to go.When you want to test, you use your first morning wee (or otherwise one that is spaced more than 2 hours outside of any food) and then insert it into the machine. It will then start counting down from about 15 minutes, and beep when your result is ready, and then all going well, it should sync to your phone.The tracker uses your LH levels to track ovulation - if you head to robynbirkin.com/library you’ll see I have a free library of downloads and one of them is a guide on fertility and infertility 101 - in there you’ll see exactly what happens with your hormones during your cycle, but essentially, about 36 hours before you ovulate, you’ll get a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH - a hormone that comes from your brain that tells your ovary to release a mature egg). The Mira tracks basically all levels of LH, not just the peak level of LH so you actually have a little bit of time before ovulation and it will tell you what the actual levels are.The Mira Plus is also now out which additionally tracks your estrogen levels (which usually rise throughout your follicular phase) so you can basically get a much fuller picture of what is going on in your cycle AND… they’re about to release the progesterone tracking too, and that is one of the main reasons I’ve felt comfortable chatting about it, using it and recommending it to you. For peeps who have irregular cycles, more tracking and more data is always going to be a good thing, and it also means that you can test less.How I used the MiraSo my Mira arrived mid-month and when I tested, my LH was low and looked like it was going down. As the tracker can give you a few days lead up to ovulation, I didn’t test every single day, but rather every second or third day.I was convinced that I had actually missed my window of ovulation (I don’t know why - I thought I had ovulated around the 14th) and so therefore I waited a week or so before testing again. And then I started to feel tired, less motivated, more insular, so I did one or two more tests, but was fairly certain that this would be my luteal phase and so didn’t test much.Around the beginning of the next month I began testing again and when I hit the 11th or so, I was like ‘yep, this is going to be it!’ and…. Nada. Honestly, I felt quite confused for a moment…. But I felt really energized and confident and so I took a step back and continued testing every second day and WHAT DO YOU KNOW?! Turns out I actually ovulated that next month on 22nd. It’s been really awesome to have that confirmation, and to be able to look back over through the app to see.Pro’s of the MiraYou can walk away while it syncsI’d get the wand analyzing, and then actually hop in the shower and start getting ready for the day and let it do its thing, which was really convenient. Far out - it was such a relief not to have to sit and look at lines to tell whether there was a line or not, and which one was darker.It’s accurateLike I’ve just written, not having to try and decide for myself whether or not it’s worked and analyzing has been awesome, and I like that it tests and tells you all levels of LH, not just a yes or no. It’s one of the most accurate on the market. And some monitors only show above a certain amount of LH, but for some people with a fairly low LH (possibly me?) it just won’t ever show a positive - and that’s just confusing, right?!It has a graph and calendar on the appI love that it has the app that it syncs to. I’ve seriously looked at it so many times and gone back over dates, and I also love that the app isn’t trying to do everything - it’s just a really clean and easy to navigate app.You don’t need to buy a new tracker as new features come outThe tracker can sync and update itself, so as things like the estrogen wands (already out) and progesterone wands come out (one wand that tracks all three just to clarify), you don’t need to buy a whole new tracker - you just need to buy the compatible wands when you place your next order.Cons/TipsRemember to ensure your tracker is connected to your phoneThere was one time when I started to panic a little because I didn’t realize that my Bluetooth was off, and I had walked away and it had said analyzer disconnected and I freaked and there were a few times when I had to go and search on my Bluetooth to try and get it to reconnect. Turns out that the tracker will still log that result and sync later, but from then on, I just always made sure it was connected before inserting the wand.It costs more than my cheapo eBay stripsLook, you get what you pay for and I was paying for accuracy and convenience, and I was just done with guessing games and inaccurate trackers so I’m not even sure this is a con, but if you’re looking for the cheapest thing on the market and willing to sacrifice some time and accuracy, then the Mira probably won’t be for you.You have to allow enough time for additional strips to arrive#2020 - especially in Australia - everything by post takes a long time. If you are planning on making an order, I’d probably recommend that you get enough wands for a few cycles because into Australia, they can take up to a month, and that was certainly my experience too.I’m so glad that I’ve had this opportunity to use the Mira tracker and get a better clue of what is going on in my body. I think that especially for anyone who has irregular cycles, that information can be invaluable and I know nothing else on the market as accurate as that (especially for tracking up to ovulation, rather than just confirming that ovulation has occurred…. Which is essentially useless information for those with irregular cycles who are trying to conceive).Remember that I have a discount code: fertilitywarriors (don’t forget the plural!) and you can head here to learn more or grab your copy.A note about the Mira and who it’s for (from their team):Mira’s Fertility Starter Kit is an excellent tool for women to track their reproductive health and fertility. At this moment Mira is measuring two hormones in the same time (LH and estrogen). It particularly benefits those who are trying to conceive, but is also helpful for those who are trying to avoid pregnancy. Mira combines the accuracy of lab tests with the convenience of testing at home and it's especially useful for people with variable cycles, hormonal imbalances or PCOS because the device gives actual LH and E3g concentration. In contrast to OPK, Mira uses lab-graded technology which gives you your actual hormone levels, while OPK only does a “one line” vs “two lines” estimation.

I haven’t had a period in more than four years now.When I was in my 20s that would have been the dream, and in fact, when I was in my 20s I used to use The Pill to skip 6 - 12 months of bleeds at a time, thinking it was great.And then…. Trying to conceive hit.I was the crazy type A person who started tracking my ovulation a few months BEFORE I started TTC and used primarily my Basal Body Temperature thermometer.For anyone out there who is using their BBT for tracking, here’s a few things you might want to know:I have a free chart within my library that you can print and downloadYou’re supposed to do it as soon as you wake up, without moving and getting up at all, and leave it there for about 10 minutesI almost NEVER got that lovely rise and fall - it never looked beautiful like that, even though once I started at a fertility clinic I had confirmation that I basically have a dead-on 27-day cycle with ovulation at day 13 (as I had suspected)BBT rise happens AFTER ovulation, so don’t use this to check WHEN you should have sex - this can only be of assistance for future cycles and only also if you have a regular cycleChecking your cervical mucus (provided you drink enough water regularly) can actually be an incredible mechanism (which can tell you when you’re ovulating), especially when combined with BBT trackingIt’s also really important to have an understanding of exactly what you’re monitoring and why, and what your hormones are doing throughout the month - I also have a free infertility101 book within my library (along with a bunch of other stuff) so make sure you check that out too.And my thoughts on my period really morphed once I started trying to conceive. Firstly, I realised the power of our cycle (which isn’t just our period - it’s that whole period of ups and downs, feeling extroverted and introverted - the natural flow of being a woman), but also longing to have that period, because each month it was a chance to create our family.And then…. Plot twist.During childbirth to have our second ICSI miracle bubba, my uterus completely lost the plot. Its a long story but I had a hysterectomy.And while it’s great that I can now wear white pants 365 days of the year (wink wink), I no longer get a period. But… I do ovulate because I still have my ovaries (seriously - see my free ebook in the library if you want to understand it all).And so you may think I don’t care about when I ovulate.But as I grow more in tune with my body, I have begun to notice distinct ‘seasons’.Over the month there are times when I feel so energised and confident. I’m on fire at work and everything is great.And then, there are times when I feel so introverted. I don’t want to go out. I feel less confident and slightly more anxious.And I feel this is my cycle.But I don’t know.I was also speaking with my friend, Devon (who has also had a hysterectomy) and she said the same thing. When you don’t get a period, it can be quite disempowering because you don’t have that intimate knowledge of what is happening in your body.And so, I’ve wanted to track my ovulation again.And since I don’t get a period, it hasn’t been as easy as just tracking on a calendar.I need something more concrete than that, and in my life these days, I’ve just become a convenience freak. I am just not available for things that are hard or demanding anymore. I don’t care if I have to pay a little bit more for all the parts, bits and pieces to fit together.I feel completely allergic to tracking my BBT now, and when I was trying to conceive I also tried these cheap trackers from eBay. Don’t recommend it. I don’t think I got one accurate result from them, and I purchased like 100. Whether that’s because my LH surges at a lower level, I’m not sure, but for that reason, I also wanted something that measured MORE than just a yes or no for LH. I wanted something that could measure the level of LH.Did you know that studies have shown that approximately 57% of people got their ovulation wrong? I believe it. Sometimes it’s bloody hard!!!I’ve been trialling the Mira Fertility Tracker and partnered with them to give y’all a discount too!If you want to know more about them you can click here.But essentially:It measures your actual levels of LH and tells you when you’re approaching your surge (which is helpful for knowing when to start having sex) and also helps if you have lower than average levels of LH. The new Mira Fertility Plus Tracker measures both LH and E3G. To find out more, click HERE and look for the new Mira Fertility Plus Starter Kit.They have FDA approval to measure estrogen too (and the wands are available for presale already) with progesterone on the way too. I’m seriously so excited for this!I can wee, plug it in and then do my thing, and then check what it said later.It syncs with your phone on a custom app and you can track it ALL there - the reminders are what I want!The day before yesterday I was tracking at 4.7ml/L. Then, this morning I was 3.03ml/L - and this probably fits in with what I suspected. If I had to take a stab in the dark I’d say I ovulated around Friday 15th (a week ago). I’ll probably test again in a week or two (but measure my cervical mucus along the way) - if next week I’m feeling just insular then this will support what I’m thinking.So far, I’m loving having it all sync together.If you’d like to check it out for yourself, head to bit.ly/mirawarrior and enter the coupon code fertilitywarriors to receive a $25 discount.Also, make sure you’re following me on Instagram to join along.

Paris has shut bars after the French government raised the city's coronavirus alert level. The measures are scheduled to run for two weeks, and whilst restaurants can remain open, they must follow new social distancing and hygiene rules, as Greg Marchand, who runs the famous Frenchie restaurant explains. And we look at the likely economic impact of the latest moves with Sophie Pedder, Paris bureau chief at The Economist. Also in the programme, Britain's prime minister Boris Johnson has said that in 10 years' time, he wants offshore wind energy to power every home in the UK. We find out how realistic a pledge that is with Tom Burke, chairman of green think tank, E3G. How has the homewares giant Ikea fared through the coronavirus era? We hear from Jesper Brodin, chief executive of Ingka Group, which owns most of the Ikea stores around the world. Plus our regular commentator Pilita Clarke examines the impact on workplace equality of the hybrid style of working that has emerged during the pandemic, with key workers based in offices but many other people working from home.

Highgrade now has more than four years under its belt, and an archive full of interesting conversations. We have seen some amazing people through our studio and we have published some amazing video interviews. Over time people have been asking us to put those interviews into podcast format, and that is exactly what we have done. This is the first episode in our new series, From the Archive.We start off with an interview from 2018 with Tom Burke, Chairman of the climate think tank E3G. We wanted to start with this interview because climate change remains a hot topic. And Tom Burke has been at the centre of the debate from the beginning. For example, he coined the term ‘Green Growth' already back in the 1980s. He is a forceful and clear thinker – and that is evident in this conversation. Enjoy!

W dzisiejszej audycji rozmawiamy o kończącym się szczycie Rady Europejskiej i decyzjach dotyczących neutralności klimatycznej. Paweł Wiejski, nasz analityk ds. europejskich, spotkał się z europosłem Łukaszem Kohutem. Według polskiego europosła zielony ład jest ważnym krokiem, choć dekarbonizacja Śląska i transformacja energetyczna i tak musiałyby się wydarzyć. Kohut przestrzega, że bez inwestycji w nowe technologie i OZE Śląsk stanie się "slumsami Europy". Quentin Genard, szef think-tanku E3G, opowiada o burzliwym i dramatycznym przebiegu dyskusji o neutralności klimatycznej. Europejscy przywódcy uzgodnili, że do 2050 r. Unia osiągnie neutralność klimatyczną. A Polska jako jedyna została wyłączona z tego obowiązku. Oznacza to, że Warszawa będzie mogła redukować emisje w swoim tempie i ma większe szanse na dodatkowe środki na transformację energetyczną. Z drugiej strony, może pogłębić się izolacja Polski w Unii. W drugiej części z Agatą Gostyńską-Jakubowską, ekspertką think-tanku Centre For European Reform, komentują wyniki wyborów parlamentarnych w Wielkiej Brytanii. Partia Konserwatywna uzyskała samodzielną większość w parlamencie, więc nic nie stoi na przeszkodzie, by opuściła Unię. Rozpoczną się natomiast trudne rozmowy o przyszłych relacjach Zjednoczonego Królestwa i Unii - o umowie handlowej czy imigracji. Zapraszamy do słuchania.

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.

In the months leading up to the United Nations conference on climate change in Paris last fall, expectations were high. And the result actually exceeded those expectations, in many respects, says Nick Mabey, director and chief executive at E3G, in this week’s podcast. “We have stronger goals,” Mabey explains, and the agreement “puts adaptation and resilience on an equal footing to mitigation, so we like to say we now have a climate-risk management regime.” After more than a decade monitoring the geopolitics and security implications of climate change and resource scarcity, Mabey and his colleagues at E3G believe this new regime to be more robust due to the “strong legal force and political backing of the agreement.” However, the implications of climate-security issues remain under-examined in the foreign policy community. “Paris made us safer, but not safe,” Mabey says. “We've got a whole set of mixed drivers for complexity driving instability and social unrest.” “There's not sustainable security without addressing climate and resource issues in forward planning,” he explains. “But I can tell you from talking to people in governments, none of that is in the current plans.” One opportunity for improving the way climate-related security issues are accounted for may be the election of a new UN Secretary General. A successor to Ban Ki-moon will be chosen at the General Assembly later this year. Asking the candidates to address climate-security threats would continue the conversation and momentum. The momentum created by Paris is fragile. Mabey says the core challenge is identifying and maintaining a coalition of countries who will continue to work toward a strengthened climate-security framework. “Unless we can point to a coalition of countries who want to see this happen, we will always be on the margins.” Nick Mabey spoke at the Wilson Center on May 6, 2016.
