Today's episode is an encore presentation of a November 2023 interview with Katie Carr about her brother Toby's ambitious project to kayak in every area of the BBC Shipping Forecast and the books that followed: Moderate Becoming Good Later and Thundery at Times.

The winds of change are blowing through the world's maritime hubs…despite some national governments' efforts to the contrary. While the shipping industry carries 90% of global trade, it also leaves a heavy carbon trail in its wake. In this episode of Cities 1.5, we explore the high-stakes transformation of our global ports: once seen as industrial hotspots of pollution, these urban harbours are emerging as the front lines of the green transition. We dive into the groundbreaking "Green Shipping Corridors" that are linking sustainable cities, and the bold shift toward zero-emission fuels. From local air quality to global supply chains, discover how cities are turning the tide on emissions and steering the industry toward a 1.5°C future. It's time to rethink the horizon: clearer skies and smoother sailing ahead.Featured guests: Eric Garcetti, C40 Ambassador for Global Climate Diplomacy and former Mayor of Los AngelesAlisa Kreynes, Director of Ports and Shipping at C40Featured clips:The Shipping Forecast - BBC Radio 4Global shipping emissions vote on a knife edge at IMO - BBC Business TodayLinks:Greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution from global shipping, 2016–2023 - The International Council on Clean TransportationA guide to the IMO's Net-Zero Framework - Global Maritime ForumLandmark deal to cut global shipping emissions in tatters after US pressure - BBC NewsPorts and Shipping - C40 Knowledge HubGreen shipping corridors programme - C40 Cities websiteFrom Los Angeles to Shanghai, the port cities collaborating to cut shipping emissions - ReutersGreen Ports Forum - C40 Cities websiteWhy should we talk about a 'just and equitable' transition for shipping? - UN Trade and DevelopmentRescuing shipping's Net Zero Framework - Climate AnalyticsCities take the global stage to showcase climate action at the IMO for the first time - C40 Cities websiteIf you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website at https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/Listen to the Cities 1.5 five-part miniseries “Going Steady with Herman Daly: How to Unbreak the Economy (and the Planet)" here: https://lnk.to/HDMiniSeriesCities 1.5 is produced by the University of Toronto Press and the C40 Centre, and is supported by C40 Cities.

A tentative two-week ceasefire in the Middle East has seen global oil and gas prices cool, but how easy will it be to convince shipping companies the Strait of Hormuz is now safe to navigate? Sean Farrington investigates. The conflict has also sparked an interest in electric vehicles in the UK. The boss of the country's biggest car sales platform tells us why Chinese EV manufacturers could be the biggest beneficiaries. And, running a Marathon is quite a feat. But that's not enough for the boss of London's big race. He tells us why they're expanding abroad.

Sham is stuck in traffic... IN THE JUNGLE! And we discuss many things and go over some UFC and WWE records.

Full show notes and ad-free listening at wickedproblems.earthShipping is one of those things that's just supposed to work. Post-Titanic, we created a set of rules that currently are looked after by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which successfully removed much of the drama from shipping — so successful that Britain's “Shipping Forecast” is now soothing ASMR for bedtime listening. But last month at the IMO in London, what should have been a procedural meeting on decarbonising shipping turned into something far messier. According to a Financial Times investigation, U.S. officials didn't just lobby against a global carbon levy on shipping — they allegedly threatened, intimidated and black-mailed delegates from smaller nations. Developing-country delegates said they were warned their ships would face higher U.S. port fees, their officials denied visas, and their trade punished if they didn't abandon support for the Net Zero Framework the IMO had endorsed only six months earlier. “It was like dealing with the Mob,” one diplomat told the FT. In the end, it worked. The deal — the world's first carbon-pricing mechanism for global shipping — was postponed for a year. The IMO, normally the most technocratic of international bodies, was left “in a state of complete shock.” For the uninitiated this may sound arcane. But shipping matters. Roughly 90 % of global trade moves by sea; the sector accounts for about 3 % of global CO₂ emissions — more than Germany — and until now has been largely outside the reach of meaningful climate regulation. The Net Zero Framework was meant to change that. It had already been provisionally agreed by a majority of countries in April. But by October, something changed. Countries like China, India, Panama, Liberia — and even Greece and Cyprus, who broke with the EU line — suddenly voted to adjourn. news.wickedproblems.ukAnd the shift didn't come from nowhere: it came from pressure. From a U.S. administration that now treats climate policy as an existential threat to American interests.

A midwife describes assisting a growing number of women experiencing sexual violence at the hands of militias in the North Darfur region of Sudan. It comes a day after a Sudanese militia leader was convicted at the ICC on charges of mass murder and sexual violence going back to 2003. Also, FIFA suspends seven members of the Malaysian national soccer team over allegations of submitting fake birth certificates. And, a father of three recounts his agonizing decision to leave Gaza City amid Israeli strikes. Plus, the BBC's Shipping Forecast turns 100 years old.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.

Listeners nominate who they think should be the next Irish President. Máiréad Devlin and others discuss the importance of the Shipping Forecast.

Samira Ahmed presents Front Row's contribution to Radio 4's New Year's Day celebration of the Shipping Forecast, marking a century since the BBC began broadcasting it. This edition of the arts programme explores how the Shipping Forecast inspires musicians, writers, artists of all kinds, and how it has become a powerful presence in the psyche of the nation, even among people with no connection to the sea. There is an irony here: the forecast is factual, devoid of metaphor, yet it moves millions emotionally. Recorded in front of an audience at Britain's most famous ship, the Cutty Sark, Samira's guests are novelist Meg Clothier, author of The Shipping Forecast: Celebrating 100 Years; musicians Lisa Knapp and Gerry Diver; poets Sean Street and Zaffar Kunial; and Paddy Rodgers, Director of Royal Museums, Greenwich. They discuss the inspirational quality of the Shipping Forecast - the litany of names of sea areas, its rhythms, the factual yet evocative vocabulary of atmospheric and sea states, and how this vital information, demanding attention, has become a national lullaby. Sean Street, Britain's first Professor of Radio and author of several books about sound, considers the Shipping Forecast as a sound work, and reads his poem, Shipping Forecast, Donegal. Lisa Knapp performs, accompanied by Gerry Diver, her song 'Shipping Song' and 'Three Score and Ten', written by William Delf, a Grimsby fisherman, after a disastrous storm in 1889. There are two world premieres, commissioned by Front Row, an audio piece by the sound designer, Ross Burns, and a poem by Zaffar Kunial. And some quirky Shipping Forecast moments such as Alan Bennett reading it and Charlotte Green assaying the Forecast - in Arabic.Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Julian May

This week, all three of the Forecasters unite once again to talk about a topic close to our hearts; British Twinks that Solve Supernatural Mysteries. Join us in our Dead Boy Detectives episode, as Grace gets so invested in a ship that she forgets we're recording. James comes to terms with the fact he is 'The Charles' (but only in that he is posh and bossy), and Nick embarks on a quest to find a Dead Boys/Columbo fic, and learns how to serve cunt along the way.

Today, we're joined by returning Special Guest, Shawn Cassity!  (not Shaun Cassidy, but if you know him, we'll have him on too)   Shawn is having a Keeper's Heart, Phil a Tusker Lager and John is drinking Dewar's 15 year scotch. After we get the usual junk out of the way, we have a brief chat about podcast player apps. Phil has an update on his other podcast activities.  John randomly mentions BBC's The Shipping Forecast. And remembers the old NPR show, Music From the Hearts of Space and MST3K.  Phil recalls a technique he was taught to memorize Spanish vocabulary and wonders if MST3K ever lampooned the movie Tourist Trap (1979). With Shawn on deck, we have a long-ish chat about our least-favorite Beatles songs.  (favourite)   Song: “The Cats Will Eat Tonight”

This week, in our second failed attempt to get all of us in a room at the same time, Nick and James opt to do the opposite of the last episode by talking about our favourite Milves.

We look at the Screaming Skull of Burton Agnes Hall, Fences, Fell Ponies, and a look at a story from Elizabeth Garner's Lost & Found book. In amongst pointless, soporific chatter from the man with the dreariest voice in England (official). If this doesn't bore you to sleep. nothing will.
