The continued reliance on a "business as usual" model is insufficient for countering the detrimental consequences of global warming. Numerous studies, including the influential reports from the IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, have sparked a keen interest in understanding the prerequisites for the societal transformations necessary to address climate change effectively. However, a significant disconnect persists between the scientific consensus on global warming and the actions taken by political leaders at international, national, and local levels. In many of my interactions with policymakers from around the world, I often hear that despite being a global challenge, the discourse around global warming is disproportionately influenced by the perspectives and priorities of rich countries. Politicians in the global South in particular claim that this imbalance often results in global agreements that neglect the complexities of local justice and the intricate local politics involving competition for limited resources. Lan Marie Nguyen Berg is the Deputy Leader of the Green Party and a Member of the Norwegian Parliament.

59.9 deg north seems an unlikely latitude to be pushing the frontiers of the green agenda but Oslo recently beat 13 other cities to win the mantle of European Green Capital for 2019 has set itself some pretty ambitious targets. Oslo claims to be a city that puts its people first. Many central areas are now traffic-free, which means that streets and squares bustle with people who can enjoy a meal or who just want to get where they’re going on foot or by bike.

Bristol has been named as Europe's Green Capital for 2015. Tom Heap finds out if local people will see real improvements in their city. Trapeze artists and a high wire act on a bicycle, spanning two former warehouses, heralded the start of Bristol's Year as European Green Capital for 2015. The award is a few years old now and goes to a city with outstanding green credentials and ambitions. So how is Bristol shaping up for it's year in the big green spotlight? A year ago Costing The Earth asked what the award meant, and how it would impact and improve the lives of Bristolians along with those living around the city. Now the award is here, so Tom Heap investigates whether there is substance beyond the stunts, gimmicks and planned festivals: are there radical plans afoot to put the environment in the forefront of Bristolians' minds? Solar Panels are appearing on roofs of council buildings across the city, projects and grants encouraging residents to insulate their homes are in full swing. Wildlife corridors are springing up, provision and distribution of sustainable food is gathering pace. There's an education programme featuring Shaun The Sheep for school children, piloting in Bristol and available nationwide from September but the city cannot ignore it's major problem: the traffic. Bristol has some of the worst congestion in the UK, and with that congestion comes poor air quality, and this ultimately costs lives. Costing The Earth asks if Bristol's traffic conundrums are solveable and if, after being green capital for a year, the number of deaths in the city caused as a direct result of air pollution, will fall. Presenter: Tom Heap Producer: Martin Poyntz-Roberts.

¿Cómo nos ven desde fuera? ¿Cómo son nuestras ciudades? A veces nos cuesta comprender qué hacen turistas por nuestras calles con la de mundo que queda por descubrir. Se nos olvida que nosotros también formamos parte de ese otro mundo y que seguro que tenemos grandes razones para atraer la mirada de viajeros de todo el mundo. En Piedra de Toque viajamos por Vitoria-Gasteiz guiados por la bloguera de viajes María Victoria Rodríguez. El mes pasado tuvo la oportunidad de descubrir la capital de Euskadi atraída por el título European Green Capital que reconoce el compromiso con el medio ambiente de la ciudad. Victoria es la responsable de Diario de un Viajero y El Próximo Viaje donde cuenta lo que viaje a una audiencia de miles de personas a traídas por sus historias, comentarios y recomendaciones. Este año ha recorrido Suecia, Noruega, Perú, México, Italia, Francia y Portugal. ¿Qué le habrá parecido Vitoria? “El compromiso con el medio ambiente se palpa paseando por sus calles. El título de Green Capital se valorará con el tiempo la dimensión de este reconocimiento”. Emitimos la entrevista en Onda Vasca el sábado pasado, hoy la compartimos con todos.
