As Europeans reckon once again with the challenges of war on their continent, has the pressing issue of climate change fallen by the wayside as governments have scrambled to contend with even more immediate concerns? How can the EU work toward greater independence and security while still reacting appropriately to the environmental threat of global warming? In this conversation Senior Advisor at Open Society Foundations and Europe's Futures fellow Heather Grabbe and Ivan Vejvoda explore the various angles on and approaches to this question from the generational shifts in attitudes toward climate policy and the march of technology to the green common ground that Europe can find with China.A regular contributor to the Financial Times, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Guardian, Heather Grabbe was a senior advisor to the European Commissioner for Enlargement, Olli Rehn, where she was responsible for EU policy on the Balkans and Turkey. Prior to that, she was the deputy director of the Centre for European Reform and wrote extensively on EU external policies and enlargement. She was the long-term executive director of the Open Society European Policy Institute. She is currently a Senior Advisor to the leadership of Open Society Foundations. Grabbe has also conducted academic research at institutions such as the European University Institute, Chatham House, Oxford and Birmingham universities, and has taught at the London School of Economics.Find her on twitter @heathergrabbeRead more about Heather at wikipediaIvan Vejvoda is Head of the Europe's Futures program at IWM where, in cooperation with leading European organisations and think tanks IWM and ERSTE Foundation have joined forces to tackle some of the most crucial topics: nexus of borders and migration, deterioration in rule of law and democracy and European Union's enlargement prospects.The Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) is an independent institute for advanced study in the humanities and social sciences.

Historian Dr Meg Foster from the University of Cambridge talks about the fascinating hidden history of Australia's other bushrangers in her book, Boundary Crossers. Meg talks about the bushrangers who didn't fit into Australia's national mythology, like African American man Black Douglas, who was seen as the terror of the Victorian goldfields, Sam Poo – Australia's only Chinese bushranger, and Captain Thunderbolt's partner, Aboriginal woman Mary Ann Bugg. Professor Raina Macintyre talks about her new book on pandemics and biosecurity, Dark Winter. A world-leading epidemiologist and biosecurity expert Raina MacIntyre discusses the dangers of information warfare during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, as well as the history of biological attacks, lab accidents and epidemics, synthetic biology, and gain of function research. She reveals a pattern of denial, silence and cover-up around unnatural epidemics and the powerful vested interests at play. Dr Brendan Wintle, Professor in Conservation Ecology at the University of Melbourne talks about some major developments on environmental conservation policy at the federal level. This includes the creation of the Biodiversity Council – a scientist-led think-tank, the Threatened Species Action Plan, and long overdue changes to the EPBC Act in response to the Samuel Review.

Prof Paul Ekins is Professor of Resources and Environment Policy at the UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources within the Bartlett School Environment, Energy & Resources, Faculty of the Built Environment (UCL page, Google Scholar, Wikipedia page). His work focuses on the conditions and policies for achieving an environmentally sustainable economy, and he is an authority on a number of areas of energy-environment-economy interaction and environmental policy.Paul was a co-founder of Forum for the Future in 1996 (along with Jonathon Porritt and Sara Parkin). That is how we got to know each other, though he left Forum in 2002, and I joined in 2003. Paul has rich things to say on how he shifted from being a professional classical singer to environmental campaigner, to a world-leading academic on the environment-economy nexus. He touches on why he believes we need economic growth, and why hope is better than optimism. For him, "every tonne counts" is a better slogan than "1.5C, still alive".We recorded this on 20 April 2022.

In our twentieth Climate Ambassador podcast, we are joined by Minister for Environment, Climate & Communications and Transport Eamon Ryan, TD. In this discussion, we cover a wide range of topics including Ireland's recently published Climate Action Plan, Ireland's first carbon budget and how climate will stay central to all policy going forward. In agriculture we look at changes due to a revised EU Common Agriculture Policy, how Just Transition is being included with payment systems and the Land Use Plan that is currently being drafted, which will include new forestry approaches. With regards peatlands, we hear how farmers should be paid for rewetting bogs, to store carbon and we also cover how soil and grassland management will be central to agricultural approaches. With the continued ramping up of renewable energy, we hear where Minister Ryan envisions Ireland in 2030, including development of onshore wind and solar, offshore wind, and how with microgeneration in homes, schools, businesses and farms, we will soon see the ability to sell back to the grid any excess renewable electricity generated locally. We hear how this growth of renewables will be central to how the transport and heating sectors are decarbonised. Other topics such as data centres and progress at COP's 21 & 26 are also covered in this open and honest discussion about opportunities that lay ahead of the Irish nation.

This is Part 1 of two episodes on the British Government's immigration policy called the "Hostile Environment Policy" instituted under then Home Secretary Theresa May, who later became prime minister. The "Hostile Environment Policy" targeted UK's Black immigrant population and forced the deportation of thousands of immigrants from the Caribbean, many from the Windrush generation who had entered the United Kingdom legally and at the invitation of the British Government in 1948 to help rebuild the country after its devastation during World War 2. In this episode, our guest, British lawyer, lecturer, and author Colin Bobb Semple helps us to understand how Theresa May's racist immigration policy called the Windrush Hostile Environment policy targeted the Black community and led to the deportation of countless people of the Caribbean and African descent from the UK from 2014 onward. We learn what is the Windrush, and the Hostile Environment Policy, what took place in the UK, and why the Windrush forced deportations occurred. Colin is an experienced law lecturer tutor, accredited advocacy trainer. He trained prospective barristers as a Senior Lecturer at the City Law School, City University in London for over 20 years. He was awarded the lifetime award by the Black Solicitors Network Group in 2007 for contributions to legal practice and legal education. He also received teaching excellence awards by the City Law School, City University, London, and was a law revision consultant. And he's going to explain what that is to the government of Guyana from 2010 to 2012. He has authored several books, including "English, Common Law, African Enslavement, and Human Rights" in 2012, "Race, Jail, and Bail" in 2012, as well as numerous articles including "English, Common Law, Slavery and Human Rights" in 2007.
ospite: Jacopo Borghese, dottorando presso Università del Salento con Andrea Zazzera, Daniele Invernizzi, Gabriele Bindellini, Giulio Abramo Sito del progetto REMEDIALIFE: https://remedialife.eu Allevamenti marini sostenibili: è possibile? RemediaLIFE è un progetto congiunto di Università del Salento, Università degli Studi di Bari "Aldo Moro", e l'Istituto Ambientale Marino Costiero IAMC che si propone di mitigare in modo totalmente biologico gli impatti dell'acquacoltura. Le acque e i rifiuti degli impianti di maricoltura costituiscono un problema per l'ecosistema circostante in quanto, trattandosi di gabbie localizzate in mare, non possono essere convogliati verso impianti di riciclaggio ed abbattimento come per quelli a terra. Nella maggior parte dei sistemi di allevamento ittico vengono scaricati, senza alcun trattamento, sottoprodotti metabolici, residui di mangime, materiale fecale e residui di composti profilattici e terapeutici che determinano in tal modo il deterioramento della qualità delle acque e la comparsa di malattie delle specie allevate, nonché possibili infezioni anche nell'uomo. I rischi maggiori derivano in particolare dal rilascio di xenobiotici ma anche di azoto e fosforo che determinano problemi di eutrofizzazione e di agenti patogeni come batteri, virus e protozoi. Le conseguenze dell'arricchimento organico sono evidenti non solo nella colonna d'acqua ma anche nei sedimenti che, in condizioni normali, ospitano una grandissima biodiversità. Questi impatti ambientali negativi sono particolarmente evidenti in impianti produttivi situati vicino la costa, in aree confinate in cui è minore l'effetto diluente delle circolazioni marine. Negli ultimi anni una quota cospicua della ricerca è stata volta alla realizzazione di “Sistemi di acquacoltura integrata multitrofica” (IMTA) una tecnica che, come riportato anche nel recente rapporto della CE “Science for Environment Policy. FUTURE BRIEF: Sustainable Aquaculture” (2015), rappresenta uno dei principali strumenti per armonizzare lo sviluppo del settore dell'acquacoltura, in crescita, con il raggiungimento degli obiettivi di qualità ambientale definiti dalla CE. Nel presente progetto si vuole dimostrare che la tecnologia IMTA può essere applicata in aree costiere confinate con profondità ridotte e molto più vulnerabili all'azione impattante dell'acquacoltura (aumento del tasso di sedimentazione, incremento della concentrazione dei nutrienti, presenza di sostanze inquinanti). Il sistema proposto prevede per la prima volta a livello europeo l'utilizzo, in modo combinato di organismi biorisanatori quali POLICHETI e PORIFERI oltre ai MITILI e alla MACROALGHE più comunemente utilizzati, che presentano un'elevata tolleranza alle condizioni di stress ambientale e con una maggiore efficacia nel biorisanamento, già dimostrata durante precedenti ricerche scientifiche. Ad ogni ciclo produttivo oltre all'allevamento delle specie ittiche e la produzione di militi, si prevede la raccolta di ingenti quantità di policheti, poriferi e macroalghe per la produzione di: esche, invertebrati ornamentali, mangimi per specie ittiche, fertilizzanti e raw material per l'estrazione di composti bioattivi utili in farmaceutica e cosmetica.

President-elect Joe Biden says he will infuse climate change into every corner of his agenda. That's becoming evident looking at his emerging team. "You're already seeing signs from the nominees and the people they're choosing that climate is going to be a part of every single agency," says Christy Goldfuss, Senior Vice President for Energy and Environment Policy at the Center for American Progress. But it will take more than staff buy-in to get the country to net-zero emissions. When he's sworn in on January 20th, Biden will likely be facing a Republican-led Senate that opposes his climate goals. He's announced an ambitious plan designed to achieve a one-hundred-percent clean economy and net-zero emissions by 2050, and is assembling a team of heavy hitters to get the job done. But he faces criticism from both sides. Republicans claim his plan is too expensive. Sunrise Movement and other progressives accuse him of not being ambitious enough. Join us for a discussion about the Biden climate agenda -- what he hopes to accomplish and what he can get done, with or without congressional support. Learn more about your ad choices.

President-elect Joe Biden is poised to implement an ambitious climate change agenda across the federal government, encompassing domestic to foreign policy. A team of former high-level Obama administration officials and experts recently released a 300-page blueprint called the Climate 21 Project, which is intended to lay out a path for the incoming Biden administration to deliver a whole-of-government approach to climate change and a climate policy response starting on Inauguration Day. In this edition of Columbia Energy Exchange, host Jason Bordoff is joined by Christy Goldfuss, co-chair of the Climate 21 Project along with Duke University’s Tim Profeta, to talk about the findings of the project as well as what Biden’s climate agenda will look like more broadly, what would be possible with a presumably divided congress, her career across public lands, the environmental movement, and climate change, and what she’s doing now at the Center for American Progress. Christy Goldfuss is the Senior Vice President for Energy and Environment Policy at the Center for American Progress. She previously served as managing director of the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) during the Obama administration. Prior to her work at CEQ, Christy was the deputy director of the National Park Service. She also worked on the legislative staff of the House Committee on Natural Resources, and previously worked as a television news reporter. She obtained her undergraduate degree in political science from Brown University.

Sustainability News This week:Earth Day: How far have we come in 50 years since the first Earth DayMicro-plastic contamination in east Antarctic sea iceThe environmental price of fast fashionWe talked to Kara Robinson from the company South Pole to discuss environmental policy and break down come of the common terms we hear and describe what it means for emissions. For example some of the questions we asked were:Companies such as New Forests have committed to become a carbon-neutral business under a new climate action plan. Rio Tinto has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050 and BHP last year confirmed its own net-zero target . What does this mean? Is carbon offsetting the answer? What role does offsetting play in reducing carbon emissions?What is your opinion of the Scope 3 Bill? What does this Bill say about the NSW government motives towards combating climate change?
On Tuesday, June 4, Business Forward welcomed Christy Goldfuss, Senior Vice President of Energy and Environment Policy at the Center for American Progress, for a Solutions 2020 Policy Working group call on climate and clean energy.
The tides are changing when it comes to how we’re thinking about climate change. Something strange happened in late 2018, when Americans—responding to a series of extreme weather events, a damning government report on global temperature rise, and excitement around the Green New Deal—experienced a surge in awareness, and fear, about climate change. That awareness has ushered in a renewed grassroots energy, led in large part by young Americans concerned about the future of the planet and their own futures within it. This week, Robinson Meyer, a climate reporter for The Atlantic, and Christy Goldfuss, CAP’s senior vice president for Energy and Environment Policy, join the pod to discuss the new politics of climate change and our current era of action.

This year’s winners are working on what might just be the grandest challenge of all – how to decarbonise the world’s energy supply to prevent a climate catastrophe. On this week’s podcast, hosts Maya Bhandari and Bob Cotton hear from three members of the winning research team about their plan to help Australia deliver zero-carbon energy to the Asia-Pacific region. Topics discussed include how underwater sea cables could link Australia and Southeast Asia, why East Asian demand for hydrogen energy could reduce the power of the coal lobby, and what a multi-billion dollar renewable export industry would mean for the Australian economy. Emma Aisbett is a Senior Research Fellow at the ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods and an Adjunct Lecturer at Crawford School of Public Policy. Her research focuses on economic globalisation, environmental policy, developing countries, and political economy. Paul Burke is an economist focusing on energy, the environment, transport and developing countries, particularly in the Asia-Pacific. His research includes policies for zero-carbon energy in the Asia-Pacific and Australia’s energy transition. Matt Stocks is a Fellow at the Research School of Engineering. He has more than 20 years of research and development experience in renewable energy and photovoltaics.

It is hard to imagine an area of policy more future-orientated than environmental policy. Whether deciding the destiny of forests, nature reserves, protecting species, or seeking to arrest climate change, the policies we set now are shaping the world for generations to come.At the heart of much of our policy-making is a concern for how to value the needs and aspirations of our descendants. This future-orientation has been built into the concepts of 'environment' and 'sustainability'. The short history of these terms only stretches back a few decades. However, we do find that most environmental problems of today were already known about in the 1940s and 50s. Looking back to see how the past thought we might value things in their future back then is a lesson for our assumptions about what the future will truly value.But this isn't just a case of history repeating itself. The 'nature' we value is itself historical, the product of the interaction of humans and their environment over millennia. Species and landscapes we value and want to preserve are there because of what our ancestors did and the way past societies lived. The choices we make about conserving nature are choices about valuing the environments that our ancestors created; if we fail to understand this, we will not be able to devise conservation policies that work.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/choosing-a-past-for-the-future-why-todays-environment-policy-is-also-history-butGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
