In today's episode, Paul is joined by Professor Jacqueline McGlade, the Co-founder and Chief Scientist of DownForce Technologies. Jackie has had a long career in public policy. Before founding DownForce Technologies, she was the Chief Scientist of the United Nations Environment Program and Head of the European Environment Agency. In the conversation, Jackie outlines her extensive career in environmental science, how her company uses technology to measure soil carbon, and the practical applications of this data for farmers. She also shares how her experiences living in Kenya have influenced her approach to environmentalism and her insights on the intersection between modern technology and traditional knowledge in the fight against climate change.   Resources and links: DownForce Technologies website Professor Jacqueline McGlade on LinkedIn   Connect: Future Fork podcast website Paul Newnham on Instagram Paul Newnham on X Paul Newnham on LinkedIn Disruptive Consulting Solutions website SDG2 Advocacy Hub website SDG2 Advocacy Hub on X SDG2 Advocacy Hub on Facebook SDG2 Advocacy Hub on LinkedIn This show is produced in collaboration with Wavelength Creative.

Jacqueline McGlade is Professor of Resilience and Sustainable Development at University College London. She is also the Frank Jackson Foundation Professor of the Environment at Gresham College and Professor at Strathmore University Business School in Kenya. A marine biologist by training, Jacqueline was Chief Scientist and Director of the Science Division of the UN Environment Programme from 2003 to 2013 and before that, served as Executive Director of the European Environment Agency. However, today she is more likely to be found exploring ideas through working with local communities in Kenya than frequenting high-powered meetings at international organisations. Indeed, as you will hear, in a curious twist of fate, Jacqueline became a member of the Maasai tribe in 2016 through marriage to a Maasai chief and has relocated to live near the Maasai Mara Nature Reserve in Kenya. As we explore in our conversation, this life experience gives Jacqueline a unique perspective on the interface between culture, science and politics. Her career has been strongly informed by the complex interplay of data and communication and the ways in which science is filtered through the worldview of the beholder. An early love for languages also played a key role, revealing communication as a portal to mutual understanding across cultural realities. Ultimately, Jacqueline argues for more empathy in science and a willingness among her colleagues to communicate their knowledge in a way which meets people where they are. In honouring our shared humanity in the act of communication, Jacqueline suggests we invite a deeper sense of mutual responsibility and care to naturally arise.

An ecologist who fell in love with computing, Jacqueline McGlade pioneered the use of satellites study the state of the global environment. Today thanks to programmes like Google Earth, we can see the surface of the earth in great detail. But when Jacqueline was a student, earth observation satellites were used for weather forecasting and not much else. Early in her career, she used satellite images to study fish populations, thinking it would be useful to know not only how many fish were in the sea but where they were likely to be. Few believed such an ambitious undertaking would be possible but, after a spell in Silicon Valley, Jacqueline found a way. The moving maps she created changed the way oceanographers and fishermen viewed the sea. In the early 1980s, she started trying to model the global climate using some of the earliest supercomputers and a roomful of un-networked PCs. As Executive Director of the European Environment Agency, she introduced monitoring systems for a range of environmental indicators and insisted that the information provided by Europe's first earth observation satellite should be made available to everyone for free. She retired from her latest job, as chief scientist to the United Nations Environment Programme last year and now lives in a mud hut in the Masai Mara, having married a Masai chief.

- I framtiden kommer vi att behöva lära oss samarbeta med människor över hela världen. Inte bara med de vi gillar, utan också med dem vi inte känner, inte förstår och kanske inte ens tycker om, säger Jacqueline McGlade, avgående generalsekreterare för den Europeiska miljöbyrån (EEA). På årets upplaga av Tällberg Forum träffades ledare, forskare och konstnärer från hela världen för att diskutera kring globalisering och hur vi ska kunna leva tillsammans 9 miljarder människor framöver på planeten. Klotet har följt samtalet och dessutom tagit reda på mer om handelskriget mellan EU och Kina om billiga solceller som nu beläggs med höga strafftullar. Programledare: Marie-Louise Kristola.
