Climate litigation is a powerful tool for demanding accountability in the fight against the climate crisis.In this episode, we explore how legal cases are becoming a force for justice, holding both corporations and governments responsible for their role in climate impacts.

As the EU top jobs begin to get filled, what kind of Europe will emerge? Depending on who you ask, the re-election of Ursula von der Leyen as European Commission President was either a rejection of extremism or a dangerous compromise.

As we continue to keep our fingers on the pulse of the energy transition, this episode shines a spotlight on a pivotal aspect of the transition process: the implementation itself. With the EU's 'Fit for 55' package setting climate and energy targets for Member States, we turn our attention to how EU member states plan to realise these goals through their National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs). These plans offer a unique opportunity to align policies with Paris Agreement objectives, requiring Member States to go beyond EU targets.

Welcome to Green Space! The Green Party of England and Wales brings so many bold ideas and policy proposals to the mainstream debate ideas like the 4 day week, Universal Basic Income, measuring a happiness index rather than endless growth, and the Green New Deal: a plan to transform our transportation, energy, and economy by spending 100 billion dollars per year for 10-years to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030. So, we’re establishing this platform to talk about those Green ideas, to find out more about the fine details of the party’s platform, to understand this growing movement to do what the science requires for the climate, and to go deeper with the people who make up the movement.

In this episode, we welcome our very first guest, queer activist Seden Anlar, and talk about what it’s like to deal with racism and homophobia at the same time. We touch on the notion of how some people like to get a little taste of our everyday's reality, just to go back to the perceived "normal" afterwards. We discuss what it means when living contrary to multiple social norms and how freeing a coming out can be. The women of color we celebrate in this episode: Dee Rees, director of the breathtaking movie Pariah. This partly autobiographical movie is a piece about a queer black teenager and her difficult coming out in a very conservative surrounding, how much is at stake when coming out can have and how freeing it can be to choose a different life. Janelle Monae, American soul and funk singer who had her glorious coming out in the Rolling Stone last year “Being a queer black woman in America, someone who has been in relationships with both men and women – I consider myself to be a free-ass motherfucker. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…erself-629204/ The amazing belgian DJane Rokia Bamba to whose incredible music you can dance to for seven hours easily: @rokia-bamba-mennessier She is the official djane for the Brussels Massimadi, an afro LGBTIQ+ festival around movies www.facebook.com/MassimadiBruxell…k6HbKF8dXgXCamCQ Sweden based Andrea David Kronlund who founded a magazine serving Afro-Scandinavian fresh since 2016, called Krull magazine krullmag.com.
