With International Women's Day on 8 March, this episode explores both the disproportionate impact of climate change on women and the critical role women play in driving climate action.In this episode, James and Daisy discuss and celebrate women. How are women disproportionately affected by climate change? And why are they central to climate solutions?SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Women Leading on Climate (WLOC) – A global coalition of women leaders. Women are 2.5x more likely to demand government climate action, twice as likely to engage civically, and 60% more likely to use their voice for good. Project Drawdown – Makes the case for recognizing family planning and girls' education as effective long-term climate adaptation strategies.Conciliation Resources (2024) – A workshop in Nigeria found women often show greater climate adaptability, partly due to exclusion from conventional inputs. Women farmers used manure fertiliser amid unpredictable weather, while men typically used harmful pesticides women cannot access.OTHER ADVOCATES AND RESOURCES:International Women's Day – 2026 theme: ‘Give To Gain'. UN – Women aged 25-34 are 25% more likely than men to live in extreme poverty.UN – Women make up the majority of the world's poor, who are highly dependent on natural resources. Women and children are 14x more likely to die than men in climate disasters. In wealthier societies, women drive 70-80% of consumer purchasing decisions.UN (2025) – One study found a 28% rise in femicide during heatwaves. UN Women – Women carry out at least 2.5x more unpaid household and care work than men.UN Women (2025) – As of September 2025, 29 countries have women Heads of State and/or Government (32 women total). FAO (2023) – Women produce 60-80% of the food in most developing countries.EIB (2023) – Countries with more women in Parliament are more prone to ratify environmental treaties. Companies with more women on boards are more likely to improve energy efficiency, reduce firms' overall environmental impact and invest in renewable energy. At COP26, men held 10 of 12 UK leadership roles. Earth Day (2025) – 62% of women are climate voters in the US (vs. 37% of men). “Greenness” is often linked with femininity. Women generally purchase eco-friendly products more frequently, consume less carbon, are more likely to recycle, minimize waste, and save more water and energy. In one study, women became more concerned climate impacts and more supportive of mitigation policies when asked to consider future generations; men experienced no such change.IRC (2023) – Climate change has been linked to a 39% surge in child marriage in Bangladesh. After disasters, 86% of girls face increased domestic workloads, affecting their studies.Hidden Connections – Documentary on climate change and child marriage in Bangladesh. LSE (2025) – Women's food and transport carbon footprint are 26% lower than men's in France. CEO Magazine (2023) – With 10 new female CEOs in the S&P 500 index, women finally outnumbered CEOs named John.Vegan Society (2025) – More women (3.60%) than men (1.89%) say they are vegan or have a plant-based diet.  Financial Alliance for Women – Non-performing loans from women are 53% lower than from men.One Earth (2025) – The Paris Agreement and its guiding principle of 'net zero emissions' was shaped by women leaders (the "lionesses") including Farhana Yamin, Christiana Figueres, and Tessa Tennant.Cara Daggett (2018) – Introduced “petro-masculinity” to describe the hypermasculine mode of support for fossil fuels in rising authoritarian movements.McKinsey (2023) - Top-quartile companies for gender diversity were 39% more likely to financially outperform. Thank you for listening!

STEM has become an important part of the educational curriculum at all levels across Ireland. Recently in Longford, this was evident as the Junior Cycle VEX IQ Robotics Competition took place in St Mel's College, enabling student teams from seven post-primary schools and one primary school to compete in battles of engineering wits, coding and teamwork collaboration. Schools on the day travelled from all corners of County Longford, and were joined by schools from Athlone, Mullingar and as far as Ballyshannon in County Donegal. VEX IQ is a STEM program organised by Longford County Council's IT Department designed to enhance students' digital skills, foster engagement in STEM education and encourage greater participation in subjects such as design, science, coding and ICT skills. Participating schools create teams of students from 1st to 3rd year to take part and build a robot from a VEX IQ kit. The robot must be designed and built to carry out the tasks of this year's game, 'Mix and Match'. Students and their teachers learn about robot building, engineering, coding and improving their robot design throughout the process. The atmosphere in St Mel's College was electric with teams strategising, cheering and competing in real-time. There was music, countdowns and the thrill of the clock ticking down. A total of ten teams from eight schools participated, namely: St Mel's College, Longford Meán Scoil Mhuire, Longford Moyne Community College, Longford Cnoc Mhuire Granard Ardscoil Phádraig Granard St Finian's College, Mullingar Marist College, Athlone Holy Family NS, Ballyshannon, Donegal The awards on the day went to: Excellence Award: St Mel's College Teamwork Champions: Scoil Mhuire Longford & St Finian's Mullingar Design Award: Scoil Mhuire Longford Robot Skills Champion Award: Marist College Athlone Judges Award: Holy Family NS Ballyshannon, Donegal Four teams from the event secured places at the Nationals, which will take place in MTU Cork on Wednesday, 25 February. Longford's Digital Strategy and the Midlands Pathway Plan both place education and future skills at their core. The county is facing a clear shortage of qualified people across key sectors, and these plans aim to close that gap by encouraging more students to pursue studies and careers in computer coding, digital design, engineering disciplines, ICT, the sciences and robotics. Together, they set out a practical route to build a stronger skills pipeline, support local talent, and ensure that Longford is ready for the demands of a rapidly changing economy. The VEX IQ equipment and this event is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the EU Just Transition Fund Programme 2021-2027. The day's activities were supported by Christine Collins (Broadband Officer, Longford County Council), Siobhán Grealy (STEM Engagement Officer, Longford County Council), and all the staff from The IT Department in Longford County Council. Longford County Council Cathaoirleach Cllr Garry Murtagh said, "To continue to compete in a fast-paced industry, Longford needs people with these valuable skills. Events such as the VEX IQ will develop and make Longford students more skilled, more sustainable and better equipped to enrich life in our communities and help retain rural populations." Chief Executive of Longford County Council, Paddy Mahon, said, "Events like these spark a culture of innovation, teamwork and hands-on learning. The post-primary participation in this competition not only strengthens STEM education but also builds a future-ready workforce and inspires the next generation of problem-solvers and creators."

The Institute of Advertising Practitioners in Ireland includes all those creative agencies which devise many of the campaigns you see or hear on tv, radio or online. The industry spent €1.6bn in 2024 and my next guest says it should be a lot more. But does that mean a lot more ads and will much of that money flow in the coffers of the giant tech platforms? IAPI also includes PR professionals and there has been plenty of consolidation in that sector too. Joining Joe in studio was Siobhán Masterson, CEO of IAPI.

Our lives are intertwined with energy. It comes in many forms and, while it can never be lost, it can be converted from one form to another to do useful work. The energy transition is the process of shifting energy production away from sources that release greenhouse gases and towards sources that emit little or none.In this episode, James and Daisy explore all things energy. What exactly is energy? What does a good energy system look like? And how do fossil fuels compare with green energy?SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Ember (2025) – The annual slide deck from Kingsmill Bond and the Ember Futures team unpacks how electrotech is rewriting the economics and geopolitics of energy. Electrotech is around three times more efficient than fossil fuels. Around 80% of the world's population lives in fossil-fuel-importing countries, with more than 50 countries importing over half of their primary energy as fossil fuels. In contrast, 92% of countries have renewable energy potential more than ten times their current demand.Our World in Data – Data, visualizations, and writing relating to energy. This article explains primary, secondary, final and useful energy – the four stages of the energy chain – and why these distinctions matter.  BloombergNEF (2025) – Michael Liebreich makes the case for a pragmatic climate reset, showing what happens if clean energy outgrows energy demand by 3% per year for the next four decades. OTHER ADVOCATES AND RESOURCES:John Elkington (2025) – A blog on ‘How—And Where—To Channel Our Energy?'Cleaning Up (2025) – A visual showing how much energy Egypt can buy for $1m, comparing oil, LNG, solar, wind, and nuclear. RMI (2024) – Today's fossil energy system is incredibly inefficient: almost two-thirds of all primary energy is wasted during energy production, transportation, and use, before any useful work is done. That's over $4.6 trillion per year, nearly 5% of global GDP and 40% of total energy spending, effectively lost to fossil fuel inefficiency. Around 45% of total shipping demand is for transporting fossil fuels, with roughly $42 billion per year spent on fossil fuels to ship other fossil fuels.Xlinks – A 2,500-mile subsea cable to bring renewable energy from Morocco to the UK. Sulfurcell – A German company founded in 2001 to develop and produce thin film solar cells based on copper indium sulfide (CIS) technology. The company went into administration in 2012. NESO – ‘Energy 101' by the UK's National Energy System Operator. Our World in Data (2021) – Energy sources are often reported using different metrics. This article explains how primary energy is measured. A typical coal plant in the US has an efficiency of 33% – only one-third generates electricity, while the rest is lost as heat. Gas performs slightly better, at around 45% efficiency. In popular datasets, coal and gas are reported in primary energy terms (the fuel going into the power plant), while renewable electricity – such as solar and wind – is reported based on electricity output.Ember (2025) – China's wind generation was 992 TWh in 2024, accounting for 40% of global wind generation.Ember (2026) – India is electrifying faster and using fewer fossil fuels per capita than China did when it was at a similar stage of economic development.Ember (2025) – Solar and wind outpaced the growth in global electricity demand in the first half of 2025, resulting in a very small decline in both coal and gas compared to the same period last year.BBC (2025) – The price of silver hit a record high ahead of an expected US Federal Reserve interest rate cut, driven in part by strong demand from the technology sector.Thank you for listening!

In deze aflevering (#229) zoomen we in op een klaspraktijk die klein lijkt, maar gigantisch veel oplevert: checken van begrip. Wat betekent het nu écht (en waarom is “één leerling weet het = iedereen weet het” zo'n gevaarlijke denkfout)? We verkennen checken van begrip als didactisch proces: bewijs ontlokken, correct interpreteren en er vervolgens tijdig je onderwijs op bijsturen. Je hoort waarom checken van begrip vraagt dat je soms je lesplan durft loslaten, hoe je misconcepties sneller opspoort, en hoe routines (zoals wisbordjes, handgebaren, exit tickets, Think-Pair-Share…) je niet alleen data geven, maar ook je klas cognitief actief en veilig houden. Met concrete voorbeelden, valkuilen én een gouden tip: begin klein en bouw routine op.ShownotesDownload hier het boek 'Wijze Lessen'Lees en kijktips die aan bod komen:Embedding Formative Assessment — Dylan Wiliam & Siobhán LeahyResponsive Teaching — Harry Fletcher-WoodExpliciete Directe Instructie 2.0 (EDI 2.0)The Classroom Experiment (BBC, Dylan Wiliam)Ontdek hier het hele vormingsaanbod van het Expertisecentrum Onderwijs en Leren!Volg Buiten De Krijtlijnen op Twitter, Instagram of LinkedIn.

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region sits at the heart of the world's energy system, home to many of the top oil and gas producers. Yet it also one of the most climate-vulnerable regions, with huge renewable energy potential.In this episode, James and Daisy discuss the region's climate challenges. How is MENA impacted by climate change? Is the region serious about the energy transition? What were the key takeaways from Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week? SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Masdar – A fast-growing renewable energy company owned by three UAE energy companies (ADNOC, Mubadala Investment Company, and TAQA) with projects in 40+ countries across six continents with a combined capacity of more than 65GW. COP28 President Dr Sultan Al Jaber chairs Masdar while also leading ADNOC. Masdar is building the world's largest solar-plus battery project, that will run 24 hours a day, displacing 5.7 million tons of CO2 annually – equivalent to planting 100 million trees and covering 90 square kilometres, roughly the size of Copenhagen.Zayed Sustainability Prize – The UAE's global award that recognises SMEs, nonprofits, and schools with impactful sustainable solutions. This year's Energy winner was Switzerland's BASE Foundation with its cooling-as-a-service solution. Ignite Energy Access, a UAE-based climate-tech company scaling sustainable infrastructure solutions across Africa won the Energy Innovation category at COP28.OTHER ADVOCATES AND RESOURCES:Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) – One of the world's largest sustainability gatherings, hosted by Masdar. Our World in Data – A graph of oil production by region shows that roughly one third comes from the Middle East. Ember (2025)– In 2023, 7% of the Middle East's electricity was generated from clean sources, below the global average of 39%. Saudi Arabia aims for 50% renewable electricity by 2030.IEA (2025) – In 2024, MENA supplied over 30% of the world's oil and nearly 20% of its natural gas. Between 2000 and 2024, electricity demand tripled – making the MENA region the third-largest contributor to global electricity demand growth after China and India. Average temperatures in MENA are rising at more than twice the global rate, and summer temperatures regularly exceed 40 °C.Financial Times (2025) – How plans for the utopian city of Neom have unravelled.  BloombergNEF (2025) – Michael Liebreich makes the case for a pragmatic climate reset.Cleaning Up (2025) – Liebreich in conversation with Lord Browne, former CEO of BP.Breakneck by Dan Wang (2025) – Shows how the cost of one US nuclear plant equals roughly 11 in China. Cleaning Up (2025) – A visual showing how much energy Egypt can buy for $1m, comparing oil, LNG, solar, wind, and nuclear.SOME FACTS:Investopedia: The MENA region includes Algeria, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malta, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Palestine, and Yemen.IEA – MENA holds five of the world's top 10 oil producers (Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Iran and Kuwait) and three of the top 20 gas producers. Nearly 95% of electricity generated in the Middle East comes from natural gas and oil – the highest share in the world. World Bank (2025) – MENA holds more than half of the world's oil reserves and 40% of gas reserves.World Bank (2022) – MENA's GHG footprint is 8.7% of global emissions. MENA is the world's most water scarce region with 60% of people living in high or extremely high water stressed areas. MENA receives 22-26% of all solar energy striking the earth and its solar potential per square kilometre is equivalent to energy produced by 1-2 million barrels of oil annually and could meet at least 50% of global electricity demand. 75% of MENA has average wind speeds that exceed the minimum threshold for utility-scale wind farms.Earth.Org (2025) – Saudi Aramco accounts for 4.38% of global CO2 emissions.  The Guardian (2025) – Saudi Arabia spent more on fossil fuel subsidies than it did on its national health budget in 2023.NY Times (2025) – Over the past year, EVs accounted for 76% of all passenger vehicles sold in Nepal.WRI (2025) – In 2024, EVs made up 92% of passenger vehicle sales in Norway. Thank you for listening!

Coimisiún na Meán says it is engaging with the European Commission over concerns that X's own AI tool Grok is being used to create sexually explicit images of women and children on the social media platform. Women's Aid, the national organisation working to prevent and address the impact of domestic violence and abuse including coercive control in Ireland, ended its presence on X on Thursday (8th January). The current controversy over Grok has seen the creation and sharing of AI deepfakes, non-consensual intimate imagery, and production of child sexual abuse material, in what Women's Aid says is a breach of the platform's own guidelines and regulations. The organisation says this is the tipping point, after watching with growing unease and concern what it is describing as the increased levels of unchecked hate, misogyny, racism and anti-LGBTI+ content on X. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Siobhán O'Leary, Rape Crisis MidWest Director on Friday's Morning Focus. Photo (c) GNEP PHOTO via Canva

The incredible true story of how The Avontuur was locked down at sea for 188 days during the Covid-19 pandemic, with 15 people on board. The journey begins for ship's cook Giulia Baccosi when she accepts a last-minute job aboard the sailing cargo ship The Avontuur. She tells the captain that she will stay with the ship until it reaches Mexico, in about three months' time. After saying goodbye to her partner, Giulia settles into life on board and the responsibilities of feeding the Avontuur's crew of 15. But before Giulia and the crew know it, everything they're counting on will be thrown to the winds. This extraordinary story, narrated by Siobhán McSweeney, is from the Lives Less Ordinary podcast, from the BBC World Service.
