This week's bonus show features Part II of our conversation with psychiatrist and bestselling author Dr. Bandy Lee. We dive into the phenomenon of “Trump contagion,” strategies for handling MAGA cultists in your life (including how to respond if harassed in public), whether Trump is the Antichrist (spoiler: he is!), and whether Trump staged the recent assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. This week's show also answers a pressing question from a listener. Democracy Defender Patreon supporter Melissa asks: “If you or anyone else has any good reads to recommend on the Green Party and its origins, would love to read it as they are clearly now a Kremlin owned and operated effort to divide and conquer the left.” Melissa, we've got you covered! Check out our Jill Stein Voter Guide Super Special. If you know someone considering a vote for Jill Stein, share this special episode highlighting her troubling track record of hypocrisy. Despite being labeled a “peace candidate,” Jill Stein is a multimillionaire profiting from investments in the military-industrial complexand fossil fuels. Interestingly, the European Green Party has called for Jill Stein to withdraw from the race and endorse Kamala Harris, stating: “With wars raging and authoritarianism on the rise, Europe needs Kamala Harris as President of the United States—a reliable partner who can take urgent action on the climate crisis and foster a just, sustainable peace in the Middle East.” The European Green family, which consists of Green parties across Europe, has emphasized that their values starkly contrast with those of Jill Stein's (fake) Green Party. In their statement, they criticized the US Greens for their connections to authoritarian leaders and diverging policies, particularly regarding Russia's genocidal invasion of Ukraine.  To catch the full episode, subscribe at Patreon.com/Gaslit.

With on YouTube European Green Transition has released results from drilling at its Olserum rare earths project, Aiden Lavelle joins us to tell us what it all means.

European Green Transition CEO Aiden Lavelle joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share promising early results from the company's 13-hole drill program at the Olserum Rare Earth Element (REE) Project in Sweden. This initial phase of drilling, focused on de-risking the project, has validated Olserum's potential as a district-scale REE asset, bringing the project closer to monetization. Lavelle highlighted that the first four diamond drill holes revealed significant REE mineralization within a shear zone at Djupedal, reinforcing the structural model and regional scale potential of Olserum. Notably, Hole OLS24-01 intersected 1.5 meters at 3.48% Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO), including 0.5 meters at 7.7% TREO, with heavy rare earth oxides (HREO) making up 32% of the TREO content. The results mark a critical milestone in EGT's strategy to monetize Olserum through sale or partnership, enabling the company to pivot toward more immediate revenue opportunities. Further assay results, including from deeper hole OLS24-05, are anticipated, potentially extending the mineralized zone to a depth of 150 meters. These encouraging findings strengthen Olserum's position as a significant REE project within EGT's portfolio.

European Green Transition CEO Aiden Lavelle joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share an update on the company's robust performance during the first half of 2024. The company's oversubscribed IPO raised £6.5 million, with share prices increasing by 20-50%, reflecting strong investor confidence. Lavelle highlighted significant progress at the company's flagship Olserum rare earth project, where recent metallurgical testing confirmed the potential for further expansion and monetization. This development positions the Olserum project as a cornerstone for the company's future growth. In addition, Lavelle discussed ongoing efforts to monetize existing projects, underscoring the importance of the Limni copper tailings recycling project in Cyprus. Early sampling results from Limni have been highly encouraging, supporting the project's potential as a revenue-generating asset. Alongside this, the company's carbon credit project in Ireland further demonstrates its commitment to sustainable growth and innovative revenue streams. European Green Transition continues to advance its portfolio of projects, focusing on sustainable initiatives that align with its mission of driving the green transition in Europe. #proactiveinvestors #europeangreentransition #aim #egt #rareearths #RareEarthMetals #EuropeanGreenTransition #AidenLavelle #SustainableMining #RenewableEnergy #CopperRecycling #CarbonCredits #StockMarketNews #ProactiveInvestors#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

European Green Transition announced today that drilling has commenced at its Olserum rare earths project in Sweden. Approximately 1,500 metres will be drilled across two holes. Here to tell us more is Aiden Lavelle

European Green Transition PLC (AIM:EGT) CEO Aiden Lavelle joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of the start of the drill program at the Olserum rare earth elements (REE) project in Sweden. Lavelle shared the excitement around the rig arriving on site and the commencement of drilling at the Djupedal prospect, located two kilometres northwest of the Olserum resource. The planned 1,500-meter, low-cost drill program will focus on new targets developed over the past year, specifically at Djupedal and Olserum West. Lavelle explained, "Over the past year, we've done a lot of mapping, rock sampling, and ground magnetic surveys that have defined these targets. Most are outcropping targets with mineralisation, making them relatively low-risk." Additionally, he highlighted that high-grade samples from the Djupedal dumps, with results ranging from 4% to 20.45% total rare oxide, have been promising. This drilling aims to validate targets, intersect mineralisation, and showcase the district-scale potential of the Olserum REE project, which is crucial for future monetisation. Lavelle added, "Intersecting mineralisation in core will expand the potential of the Olserum rare earth system and demonstrate the district-scale system we believe exists."

European Green Transition PLC (AIM: EGT) CEO Aiden Lavelle and CFO Jack Kelly take Share Talk Zak Mir through the latest developments at the Limni copper project in Cyprus. Here is the list of questions: You announced an option for a Copper Tailings Recycling project in Cyprus back in April and I see you had results out today on this; Aiden, can you please tell us more Jack, it was mentioned that there is potential for a solar energy project there also – tell me more about that. Aiden, the Olserum Rare Earth Project in Sweden, which is 100% owned by the company, has announced a raft of positive results over the last few months. How are things progressing there? What's next up for the Olserum Rare Earths project? It was mentioned that drilling is expected to start in H2? Jack, I found the recently announced Altan Peatland Carbon Credit Project very interesting– how do you see that working? How do you see the Carbon Credit Project fitting in with EGT's strategy of ‘developing a portfolio of green economy assets'? Encouraging Preliminary Sample Results from Copper Tailings Recycling Project Lavelle announced promising results from the initial due diligence phase of the project. The company collected 68 samples, revealing acid-soluble copper concentrations ranging from 0.4% to 0.9%. This finding indicates that the mine waters are leaching copper from oxidized tailings and re-precipitating it during the dry season, confirming the potential for copper recovery. Additionally, the company identified significant gold potential, with rock samples showing grades up to 1.5 grams per ton. Lavelle noted that this gold likely went unnoticed during the original mining operations in the 1960s and 70s. These findings bolster the company's confidence to proceed with further due diligence and low-cost sampling to validate the copper recovery model. Lavelle emphasized that Cyprus provides a cost-effective environment for advancing the project towards potential near-term revenue generation.  Highlights ·    The first stage of diligence on the Cyprus Copper Tailings Recycling Project at the past-producing Limni copper mine has delivered encouraging results across 68 samples. ·    Acid soluble copper ranging from 0.41% to 0.92% found in crusts clearly demonstrates the presence of copper in water at surface. ·    Results also indicate potential upside for gold, with samples of up to 1.48 g/t Au recorded from waste near the edge of the pit. ·    EGT will now progress to the next stage of diligence as part of its option agreement (as announced on 29 April 2024) to develop a copper tailings recycling project through low-cost water treatment and tailings development, with subsequent potential for solar development. Aiden Lavelle, Chief Executive Officer of European Green Transition, said: “The first stage of diligence at the Limni site has yielded encouraging results, indicating the potential for recovering a meaningful amount of copper, in addition to newly identified gold potential at the site which offers further upside for the project. Dry sulphate crust samples returned grades of acid-soluble copper ranging from 0.41% Cu to 0.92% Cu and averaging 0.756% Cu. We were also pleased to find indications of gold in rock chip samples taken from the pit edge, with results up to 1.48 g/t providing additional upside value. “As a next step, we will now progress to the next stage of diligence as part of our 12-month option agreement. This will include further rock sampling, water sampling, and analysis of the potential for solar development at the site.” https://www.share-talk.com/european-green-transition-plc-aimegt-operational-update-from-ceo-aiden-lavelle-cfo-jack-kelly/

Encouraging results from European Green Transition's Limni copper project in Cyprus, where samples show useful-looking levels of copper and gold. Here to tell us what it means, and to talk about next steps, is EGT's Aiden Lavelle.

European Green Transition PLC (AIM:EGT) CEO Aiden Lavelle joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with promising preliminary metallurgical results from the Olserum Rare Earths project in Sweden. The results reveal that the mineralisation shows Olserum can produce a concentrate with recoveries between 80 and 90%. He highlighted that the grades are between 10 and 12% total rare earth oxide in the first pass flotation, which can be upgraded to up to 40% total rare earth oxide using high-intensity magnetic separation. Lavelle explained that these results came from a larger sample of 135kg sent to GTK in Finland, which included six broad intervals of mineralisation from the historic Olserum deposit. The experts at GTK conducted 20 bench flotation studies to optimise the recovery process, proving that common practices in base metal mines can effectively be applied to produce a concentrate from Olserum. Looking ahead, Lavelle confirmed that EGT plans to begin drilling in the current quarter, with the team preparing to mobilise to the site soon.

Aiden Lavelle joins to talk us through the latest news from the Olserum project in Scandinavia, and in particular the implications of the increased strike length and newly discovered structure there. He also talks about what it means for the upcoming drill programme, and how potential partners might be looking at the project now, in the light of the recent developments.

European Green Transition CEO Aiden Lavelle joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce promising results from recent grab samples taken at the Djupedal prospect, the nearby Bersummen area, and the newly identified Stora Lockerum structure, all located within the Olserum REE project in south Sweden. High-grade samples of dump material at Djupedal assayed 4.79%, 5.8%, and 11.77% TREO (Total Rare Earth Oxides). This fieldwork has allowed the team to increase their understanding of the system, extending the strike length of the mineralization at Djupedal to 1 km, and 900 m to the south, extending the recently discovered Stora Lockerum structure to up to 500 m following its discovery in March. Lavelle also told Proactive that a sample from the March sampling results, which exceeded the detection limits, was re-assayed by XRF methods and assayed 15.27% TREO, of which 3.67% is high-value NdPrDy oxides. Six rock chip samples collected at the newly identified Stora Lockerum structure, 900 m south of Djupedal, assayed up to 3.88% TREO with an average of 1.73% TREO. Historic trial workings for iron were also discovered, confirming the link between the magnetite iron and REE mineralization in the district. Four samples from the Bersummen area assayed between 0.9% TREO and 2.51% TREO, with samples up to 290 m apart, defining a potential new mineralized trend northwest of Bersummen. With these positive results, the company believes that EGT's fully permitted low-cost drill program, scheduled for H2-2024, could confirm a district-scale system and further project upside. This would support the aim of attracting a partner to fund a larger-scale program, enhancing the project's development potential. Lavelle emphasized that the continued success of their fieldwork is critical for expanding the understanding of the mineralized systems within the Olserum REE project. The recent discoveries and high-grade assays underscore the potential for significant rare earth element deposits in the region, which could play a crucial role in meeting the increasing global demand for these critical minerals. #proactiveinvestors #europeangreentransition #aim #egt #RareEarthDeposits, #UlsterProject, #SouthSweden, #GeologicalSurvey, #Mineralization, #Fieldwork, #JupiterProspect, #RareEarthOxides, #DistrictScale, #ExplorationDrilling, #ResourcePotential, #RadnorMetals, #MineralizedStructure, #BasementArea, #GeologicalDiscovery, #MiningExploration, #SustainableResources, #EnvironmentalImpact, #FutureDrillingPlans #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

European Green Transition has struck a new deal this morning, highlighting that it's not only mining - or even primarily mining - that the company is about. This time, the transaction relates to peat in Ireland, and the carbon credits involved could well generate the company significant income in the near-term. Cathal Friel, one of European Green Transitions founders and a major investor, joins us to tell us more

European Green Transition co-founder and non-executive director Cathal Friel joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of an exclusive option agreement to investigate the potential to develop a peatland carbon sink programme at the Altan farm in Donegal, Ireland. European Green Transitioin has taken an option on roughly 1,370 acres of peatland at Altan aimed at generating carbon credits by rewetting the land, which will allow it to monetise these credits. Friel emphasised that this method is less capital-intensive and has significant growth potential. The company's approach involves front-loading work and sharing revenue with landowners rather than purchasing land outright. This scalable model is expected to produce revenue in the first year and EBITDA by the second year. Friel highlighted the environmental benefits and the potential for substantial revenue generation through carbon trading. Following EGT's IPO in April, Friel noted the company's aim to double its share price within the first year and triple it within 18 months. Currently, the share price has already increased by 68% since the IPO. #EuropeanGreenTransition, #CarbonCredits, #PeatlandRestoration, #EnvironmentalSustainability, #IPO, #SharePriceGrowth, #CarbonTrading, #RevenueShare, #LowCapitalIntensive, #HighGrowthPotential, #ClimateAction, #GreenInitiatives, #CathalFriel, #Donegal, #CarbonSequestration, #Rewetting, #CarbonOffsets, #EnvironmentalImpact, #SustainableBusiness, #GreenEconomy #ProactiveInvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Cathal joined Joe in studio this morning to chat about his latest venture.

Watch on YouTube Aiden Lavelle and Jack Kelly, co-founders of European Green Transition (EGT), celebrated their company's successful IPO on the London Stock Exchange after raising £6.45 million. They discussed their backgrounds, the decision to list in London, and EGT's contribution to Europe's green economy

European Green Transition (LON: EGT) CEO Aiden Lavelle and CFO Jack Kelly joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion as the company started trading on the London Stock Exchange after raising over £6.45 million, surpassing its initial target. The funds are seen as a strong market endorsement of EGT's business model aimed at developing a green economy asset portfolio across Europe. This portfolio includes projects from metals refining and recycling to potential solar and wind assets, with a focus on acquiring distressed assets to complement their 100% owned projects. A key asset is the Olserum rare earth deposit in Sweden. Lavelle, a chartered geologist with 16 years of industry experience, particularly in Sweden, highlighted the significance of rare earth elements in the green transition, noting their crucial role in high-efficiency motors, electric vehicle motors, and wind turbines. The market for these elements is expected to double over the next decade. The Olserum asset, with an initial focus on a historic resource of 7.8 million tonnes at 8.6% rare earth dioxide, is part of this strategic positioning. Kelly outlined the company's M&A model focused on acquiring distressed and undervalued green economy assets in Europe, de-risking them, and then selling them with a structure that includes upfront cash and future royalty interests. The company has identified post-IPO M&A opportunities across critical minerals, wind, and solar projects, along with rehabilitation and processing projects. EGT is currently exploring a range of these opportunities, including a mine and processing facility currently in administration and a potential rehabilitation project in Western Europe. #EuropeanGreenTransition #GreenEconomy #RareEarths #SustainableInvesting #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #GreenTransition #EnvironmentalSustainability #EcoFriendly #GreenTechnology #ProactiveInvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

In this podcast episode led by Éloise Bodin, Marcin Korolec, a former Polish Minister in charge of the Environment in Donald Tusk's previous government, discusses the European Union's industrial strategy. Pursuing ambitious environmental objectives and in the face of fierce competition coming from the United States and China, how can the EU and its Member States find a common European response for a green industry that creates jobs? #Transition #GreenDeal #EU #Europe #Green #Industry #Poland #Climate #Energy

The European Commission has adopted a set of proposals, known as the European Green deal, with the aim of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union (EU) by at least 55% by 2030, and achieving zero net emissions by 2050. In addition to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), another pillar of this policy is the creation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), a new border tax aimed at equalizing the price of carbon paid for EU products operating under the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) with that of similar imported goods.CBAM is likely to impact the cost of carbon in global supply chains, and also has reporting obligations beginning as early as October of 2023, and the regulation has raised many questions. Which companies will it impact? What products are in scope? Will it impact companies that don't do business in the EU?This week, Heather Horn was joined by Barry Murphy and Niels Muller, PwC partners who are following CBAM, to share their insights on what it means and what companies can do now to prepare.In this episode, you'll hear discussion of:2:26 - An overview of the EU Green Deal and CBAM9:37 - How CBAM is intended to spur global alignment on carbon pricing13:26 - Effective dates, applicable products, and other details of the regulation25:58 - The current status of verification (audit) requirements and how these may evolve29:39 - How CBAM could potentially impact the cost of carbon in global supply chains33:59 - Recommendations for companies that want to begin preparing for CBAM ahead of the October 2023 effective dateWant to learn more about CBAM?

The UN Sustainable Development Goals, EU Green Deal, Paris Climate Agreement, and numerous national initiatives adopted by individual governments all reveal there is no dearth of fora and mechanisms to demonstrate the public interest and global political will to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. According to the recently published March 2022 BEREC draft report on sustainability in the connectivity sector, the digital sector's impact is 2-4% compared to other industries.Some industry stakeholders within the connectivity sector have gone beyond being content with these statistics. Many have already begun working towards tackling the energy intensive aspects of their operations and are currently prioritising sustainability. A number of operators have also announced their voluntary commitments to meeting ambitious goals by joining the European Green and Digital Coalition.There is broad agreement that the ICT sector and digitalisation can have a favourable impact on international and regional climate targets, by enabling green and digital transitions. Companies in the connectivity sector claim they want to make responsible and sustainable investments. For them, one of the key challenges will be to balance their role as an enablers of green and digital transformations with operational resources required to implement their own sustainability efforts. Moreover, several of the EU's Green Deal and Digital Decade 2030 targets require upgraded infrastructure and increased private investment.Connectivity operators, within this consistently evolving sector, must contend with increased demand. They claim predictable and harmonised regulations will facilitate sustainable and responsible investments that also benefit consumers.Relisten to this EURACTIV – GIGAEurope Digital Debate to find out how, through collective action and multi-stakeholder approaches, we can enable a green and digital transition that works for all. Discussed questions included:-How does the current energy crisis, amplified by the current geopolitical situation, impact the Green Deal objectives and their implementation? How can green ICT contribute to a solution?-What are the indices, metrics or KPIs that industry and stakeholders can agree to? How can industry, regulators, and policy makers reach a consensus on standardising data and methodologies?-What should be taken into account when discussing the twin transition and the environmental footprint of the ICT sector?-By what means should policy makers and stakeholders map sustainability-related actions in the sector and determine what should be counted towards these goals?

Green bonds are committed to financing or re-financing investments, projects, expenditure or assets helping to address climate and environmental issues. Both governments and companies use them to finance the transition to a more sustainable and low-carbon economy. Since the EIB inaugurated the green bond market in 2007 with its Climate Awareness Bond, the market has grown very fast, but it still represents only about 3 to 3.5 % of overall bond issuance. The green bond market needs to grow more quickly to achieve the targets in the Paris Agreement. In this podcast, we'll talk about European green bonds, a tool for financing green investments that can help us make the transition to a low-carbon economy, and how a European standard could be become global. - Original publication on the EP Think Tank website - Subscription to our RSS feed in case your have your own RSS reader - Podcast available on Deezer, iTunes, TuneIn, Stitcher, YouTubeSource: © European Union - EP

In the third chapter of CitizenCentral we hear from Nils Kluger, Almog Sade and Martina Helmlinger - covering environmental topics on land and in the sea. The Stop Finning - Stop the Trade citizens' initiative aims to end the trade with shark fins within the EU. The Green Garden Roof Tops initiative – launched by two siblings and a group of friends – wants to use existing empty space on corporations' rooftops to convert into green areas. We also hear from a Grow scientific progress: crops matter initiative organiser. The initiative closed in the summer of 2021, yet her reflections offer many tips for people wanting to work on an ECI.

Everyone is talking about the climate-friendly production of green hydrogen. One company that has been driving the industry forward for some time now is Enapter AG. Enapter develops and produces compact and scalable AEM electrolysers. Thomas Chrometzka, Head of Strategy at Enapter, reveals what exactly lies behind this, what the most exciting technologies on the market are at the moment, how the development of the European hydrogen economy is progressing and how energy trading could change in the future. Note: Due to a monsoon during the recording there is unfortunately some noise in the background, we apologize for that! Timeline: 2.20: About Enapter and the anion exchange membrane (AEM) technology 6.49: Enapter Campus & what opportunities does hydrogen offer in general in terms of job creation in Europe? 11.45: What are the most promising/exciting technologies in the green hydrogen sector? 17.36: Dezentralisation: What are the biggest barriers here in Europe?

Matija Žulj nije imao doticaja s poljoprivredom, ali je radeći na oglašivačkoj mreži znao da želi raditi na nečemu što će pomoći svijetu. Ta ideja postat će startup - današnji Agrivi - koji se kvalitetnim proizvodom bori protiv puno bolje financiranih američkih konkurenata! Nakon što je Agrivi za Netokraciju sredinom studenog potvrdio da su osigurali preko 30 milijuna kuna investicije, činilo se pravo vrijeme za razgovor na temu digitalizacije poljoprivrede, identificiranja tržišta za digitalne proizvode, ali i osiguravanja financija za tehnološke tvrtke. Matija Žulj je nakon studija na FER-u počeo rad u digitalnoj industriji i jedno vrijeme je vodio pokretanje mobilne oglašivačke mreže ClickAttack. Kako otkriva u Netokracija Podcastu, htio je ipak raditi nešto što će veseliti i pomoći korisnicima, a ne proizvod kod kojeg će – koliko god bio dobar biznis – korisnici tražiti “iksić” da izbjegnu oglas. Vrlo praktično je istražio najveće probleme koje je mogao naći i zaključio kako mu je proizvodnja hrane zanimljiva. Umjesto u kodiranje, bacio se na sadnju borovnica kako bi otkrio probleme s kojima se mali poljoprivrednici bore. U epizodi pričamoo tome kako je od prve posađene borovnice Agrivi došao do današnjeg enterprise rješenja za globalne klijente, uključujući: ► Gdje je digitalizacija poljoprivrede na globalnoj razini, a gdje u Hrvatskoj ► Utjecaj pandemije na poljoprivredu i proizvodnju hrane ► Što tzv. European Green deal znači za EU ► Zašto je hrvatskim i europskim startupima tako teško osigurati investicije od američkih investitora i zašto trebamo bolju lokalnu investicijsku scenu ► Kako Agrivi radi razvoj poslovanja kroz koji su identificirali u kojem trenutku pivotirati u pravi smjer za svoj današnji uspjeh ► Izlaženje ususret enterprise klijentima, ali tako da vam pomažu u razvoju vašeg digitalnog proizvoda upravo po vašem roadmapu __________ PRIMAJTE NETOKRACIJA NEWSLETTER Besplatno u vašem inboxu ► https://netokracija.com/newsletter DOJAVITE VIJEST Imate prijedlog ili želite dojaviti vijest ► info@netokracija.com PRATITE NETOKRACIJU NA DRUŠTVENIM MREŽAMA Pratite nas na Twitteru ► http://twitter.com/netokracija Pratite nas na Instagramu ► http://instagram.com/netokracija Lajkajte nas na Facebooku ► http://www.fb.com/netokracija PRATITE SVOJE NETOKRATE Ivan Brezak Brkan (IBB) https://www.instagram.com/ivanbrezakbrkan https://linkedin.com/in/ivanbrezakbrkan Mia Biberović http://www.twitter.com/cyberkoza https://www.instagram.com/cyberkoza https://www.linkedin.com/in/miabiberovic/

Climate transition is hotly debated in EU circles as it impacts all areas of policy: from the ambitious climate targets set by the President of the European Commission with the European Green Deal, to the discussions of the next budget of the Union and the recovery plan from the current pandemic. The topic is especially important for 2021 with a new US administration more likely to engage on climate change, a commitment for carbon neutrality in 40 years by China and the delayed COP26 under the leadership (or not) of the United Kingdom. Any European debate is certain to have an important impact on a regional and national level, but will also influence the global trajectory of climate policy. In this episode of the Sound of Economics, Giuseppe Porcaro hosts Heather Grabbe, director of the Open Society European Policy Institute in Brussels, Piotr Arak, Director of the Polish Economic Institute from Warsaw and Simone Tagliapietra, research fellow at Bruegel (joining from Italy) for a conversation on the political economy of the climate transition as covering the European Green deal, the concept of “green industrial policy”, and distributional challenges of decarbonisation.

Dr. Geraldine Thomas is the director of the Chernobyl tissue bank and a Chair in Molecular Pathology at the Faculty of Medicine of Imperial College London. Surprisingly her research on the health impacts of the Chernbyl accident led her towards a pro-nuclear position due to the technologies clear benefits of slowing climate change and saving lives by producing no air pollution. Dr. Thomas shares that contrary to popular belief there is a scientific consensus that the Chernobyl accident has resulted in the deaths of less than 55 people as a result of radiation. This is based on the work of the UN scientific committee on the effects of atomic radiation (UNSCEAR) and the Chernobyl Forum that involved 8 major UN agencies and the participation of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Alternative reports quoting death tolls orders of magnitude higher are methodologically flawed and were sponsored by the European Green party and NGO's like Greenpeace who had an ideological objective and cherry picked evidence to match their hypotheses.

In today's episode I have the pleasure of talking to Riccardo Mastini - Riccardo is a a PhD candidate in Political Ecology and Ecological Economics at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA) at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.The topic sounded extremely interesting, particularly since Riccardo is at the forefront of academic research into degrowth - the idea that we need to transform our society to optimize the well-being of everybody and sustain the natural basis of life.Apart from studying degrowth, Riccardo is a Member of the Green New Deal for Europe and the Wellbeing Economic Alliance. He has also consulted the United Nations Environment Programme, several environmental agencies across the world and a lot of international NGOs.Our podcast was quite detailed and had an academic feel to it. It does require a bit of focus, but the explanations are so nuanced and in-depth that it's a worthy listen. We discussed how his PhD intersects with climate change, we delved deeper into degrowth, we looked at why we cannot continue to grow and decarbonize at the same time (at a meaningful rate anyway) and we explored the intricacies of the Green New Deal with a focus on Europe.Hope you enjoy this episode, let's dive right in!RICCARDO'S RELEVANT LINKSRiccardo’s website: https://rmastini.wixsite.com/degrowthRiccardo’s Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/r.mastiniRiccardo’s Twitter account: https://twitter.com/r_mastiniEPISODE TIMECODES3:47 - Riccardo's background, PhD & how it intersects with climate change10:50 - Defining the concept of degrowth21:04 - Is degrowth necessary to decarbonize?32:24 - The European Green New Deal & its challenges50:09 - Science vs Business vs Politics vs SocietyRESOURCES MENTIONEDFriends of the Earth Europe’s report ‘Sufficiency: Moving beyond the gospel of eco-efficiency’: http://www.foeeurope.org/sufficiencyPost-Growth Conference 2018 at the European Parliament: https://www.postgrowth2018.eu/Institute of Environmental Science and Technology, Autonomous University of Barcelona: https://ictaweb.uab.cat/Green New Deal for Europe: https://www.gndforeurope.com/campaignResearch & Degrowth: https://degrowth.org/Wellbeing Economy Alliance: https://wellbeingeconomy.org/Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy: https://steadystate.org/Degrowth.info: https://www.degrowth.info/en/Is Green Growth Possible?: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59bc0e610abd04bd1e067ccc/t/5cbdc638b208fc1c56f785a7/1555940922601/Hickel+and+Kallis+-+Is+Green+Growth+Possible.pdfDecoupling debunked: https://eeb.org/library/decoupling-debunked/A Good Life For All Within Planetary Boundaries: https://goodlife.leeds.ac.uk/The EU needs a stability and wellbeing pact, not more growth: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/sep/16/the-eu-needs-a-stability-and-wellbeing-pact-not-more-growthWorld Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency: https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/article/70/1/8/5610806IPCC Low Energy Demand scenario: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41560-018-0172-6Tradable Energy Quotas scheme: https://www.flemingpolicycentre.org.uk/teqs/

Jenn, Alex, and special guest Jen Kirby (who goes by Kirby in our shows) explain the shocking results of the European parliamentary elections. The world's second-largest exercise in democracy produced big wins for Europe's left-wing Green Party, some gains for far-right politicians, and a collapse of traditional centrist parties. The gang breaks down what these results actually mean for the people of Europe, the European Union, and the rise of fringe parties around the world. The result, it seems, is that extremist parties may be more mainstream now than you think. Jenn shows off her hosting chops, Alex records under a hot blanket, and Kirby drops some sweet, sweet European politics knowledge. As promised, here’s the reservation link to our LIVE SHOW! bit.ly/link-worldly Here’s Jen Kirby’s fantastic piece explaining what happened in the elections. This has a good breakdown of the voter turnout in past elections and how much higher it was this time around. If you want to know more about the policy positions of European Green parties, you can read all about them here on their website. We quoted a political scientist who told Germany’s The Local about the Green parties capturing “the zeitgeist.” That’s from this article.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Election results leave the European parliament more fragmented than ever. The greens, liberals and far right are up. The traditional left and right, which have dominated European politics for decade, declined further. How will this affect business sentiment on the continent, as well as the EU's economic reform agenda? Ed Butler hosts a live discussion with Ben Butters of the European Association of Chambers of Commerce and Industry; Allie Renison, head of Europe and Trade Policy at the UK's Institute of Directors; and the BBC's economics correspondent Andrew Walker.

Four Europeans sit down in a Dublin coffee shop to chat about the European elections. Europa United's Ken Sweeney and Christos Mouzeviris met with Ben Hall and Sarka Valkova from Junior Chamber International, commonly referred to as JCI, a non-profit international non-governmental organization of young people between 18 and 40 years old. We also feature an exclusive interview with Bas Eickhout, one of the European Green's Spitzenkandidat.

In 2015 Bristol will be European Green Capital. We discover exactly what the title means to the city and what makes Bristol so environmentally friendly. The 'Green Capital' award is new. It's been going for the last five years and next year Bristol will become the sixth. Miranda Krestovnikoff discovers why Bristol was successful in it's bid and what makes the city stand out from the rest of the country for it's environmental credentials. Miranda visits last year's winning city, Nantes to find out what makes a city European Green capital and what the legacy is for future generations living in Nantes. She discovers how the Green Capital award is spreading the environmental message across Europe and what Bristol can learn from previous winners. In this week's Costing The Earth Miranda Krestovnikoff talks to the team behind the bid to find out what big plans they have in store for Bristol as they prepare to become European Green Capital for 2015 and meets Bristol's flamboyant and eco-thinking mayor, George Ferguson, as he sets out the green agenda for the years to come. Presenter: Miranda Krestovnikoff Producer: Martin Poyntz-Roberts.
