Is The Climate Crisis a Spiritual Crisis? Ayisha Siddiqa and Sophia Li on Sustainability as a Birthright, The Role of Ego in the Climate Crisis, and Personality Cults in Activism. The climate crisis is REAL, and it's impacting all of our lives. It's been on my heart to have a climate focused episode on Pod Noor but I wanted to make sure the conversation was one my listeners were really going to connect to. So the question I had been asking myself was: “Is the climate conversation, a spiritual one?” And because everything and everyone is interconnected, the answer I found was: Yes, of course it is. I wanted multiple perspectives and stories on this topic so - yay! Another Podcast Noor panel :) The first person who came to mind for this conversation is one of my dearest friends, Sophia Li. Sophia Li is a Chinese-American award-winning climate journalist and advocate. Her life's work is to make talking about issues such as climate justice, human rights and web3 more accessible, more digestible, and more human. Harvard even named her one of the top climate communicators of 2022. Sophia is also the co-founder of STEWARD, a Digital Art collection and community that partners with conservation, environmental justice and Indigenous nonprofits and global artists to protect the major ecosystems of our natural world. And around the time I knew I wanted to have this conversation, I saw a powerful cover of Time magazine's Women of the Year issue featuring a young activist by the name of Ayisha Siddiqa. Ayisha Siddiqa is a human rights and land defender from the tribal lands of Mochiwala and Mahsan in Pakistan. She is the co-founder of Polluters Out and Fossil Free University. Her work focuses on uplifting the rights of marginalized communities while holding polluting companies accountable at the international level. she's a climate advisor to the UN secretary general and a research scholar at the NYU School of Law, working to bridge the environmental and human rights sector with the youth climate movement. She's also an incredible poet. There are many layers to this storytelling session. We dig into: the role of ego on climate change, how the war on terror has hurt the planet, the harmful assumptions of being and “activist,” personality cults, and of course how climate change is a spiritual issue. We recorded this in partnership with our friends at CitizenM Bowery; overlooking the hustle and bustle of the Lower East Side from the iconic rooftop at CloudM. PS: Stick around because our post interview conversation went even deeper with the role of spirituality and religion in climate change so I recorded some on my phone to share with y'all. :) Welcome to this episode of Podcast Noor.

In this episode we try a new format where we bring you the first parts of four episodes that centre around one topic so you can get reminded of some key points of inspiration, see what you want to go deeper into, and check out the interviews you may have missed. This recap looks at how we can bring sustainability into fashion from various expert angles. We hear from the incredible Sophia Li who was my 2nd podcast guest and is an influential journalist and filmmaker using storytelling to impact climate and fashion. From Bandana Tewari who blew me away with her journey from Vogue India's editor to an advocate. We hear from the Felder Felder twin sisters Dani and Annette about their evolution from catwalk it-brand to bringing their values to the fore, and we touch on their journey with me at Conscious Accelerator, and we explore the future of sustainability and the role of fashion in planet regeneration with journalist and change-making powerhouse Rachel Arthur. Overall, my main reflections are that we can't use buying more stuff as an excuse for being sustainable, but that fashion is an important part of culture and those who can create truly regenerative, transparent and circular models are the ones who will win. By bringing diversity and human kindness together with nurturing the planet, a new paradigm for fashion can be created. Please let me know in a short review which episode, guest or takeaway grabs your attention, and I'll be reading some out as listener shout outs soon.

Research by McKinsey shows that companies with more women in executive leadership positions are more profitable. Yet only 41 of the CEOs on the Fortune 500 list, and just 8 of the CEOs of FTSE 100 companies, are women. In part two of our International Women's Day special, we discuss board diversity, female CEOs and the role of asset management to further change.

What does a sustainable future look like? In this episode, we're breaking down why a truly sustainable future needs to be not only climate secure, but equitable and just for all. What does the industrialized world owe to developing nations for the climate devastation their economies have caused? On an individual scale, what do we owe each other as neighbors on this shared planet? How can finding community be an antidote for despair and help strengthen us as we walk into this uncertain future together? Joining us to unpack these questions and more are Kristy Drutman of Brown Girl Green, and Wawa Gatheru of Black Girl Environmentalist, two young environmental activists who are devoting their lives to this work. Plus, Sophia Li signs off on this season of Climate Talks with one last call to action.Featuring:Kristy Drutman | Brown Girl Green | FounderWanjiku ‘Wawa' Gatheru | Black Girl Environmentalist | FounderEdward Palmieri | Meta | Director, Global Sustainability Eoghan Griffin | Meta | Sustainability Strategy Manager, Europe, Middle East, and AfricaShow Notes:Kristy Drutman is the founder of Brown Girl Green, (IG: @browngirl_green) a media platform that produces podcasts, videos, blog posts, and other media related to environmental justice and advocacy.

Emissions. Greenhouse gases. Decarbonization. You may have heard these terms in the news lately, but what do they actually mean? What are emissions, and where do they come from? Is decarbonization a good thing and, if so, how do we achieve it? In this episode, we're joined by Carbon Calories founder Alexander Frantzen and journalist Sarah Lazarovic to answer these questions and more. We unpack the surprising history behind the phrase “carbon footprint.” We'll discuss the ways that we can better understand our own carbon footprint, and work to reduce it—and why putting pressure as consumers on large corporations may matter just as much as individual actions.Featuring:Alexander Frantzen | Carbon Calories | CEO & Founder Sarah Lazarovic | Minimum Viable Planet | Journalist, Climate CommunicatorPatrick Nease | Meta | ClimateSylvia Lee | Meta | ClimateLauren Swezey | Meta | FCS SustainabilityKati Kallins | Meta | Sustainability EngagementShow Notes:You can view the Carbon Statements prepared by Carbon Calories on their website.

In 2018 the IPCC (the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) published a special report, which detailed the impacts of 1.5℃ global warming above pre-industrial levels, and outlined paths to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century. More recently, in 2021, the first part of the IPCC's Sixth Assessment was released. The report provided new estimates of the chances of crossing the global warming level of 1.5°C in the next decades, and found that immediate, rapid and large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are required to limit warming to close to 1.5°C or even 2°C.To find out more about Meta's Sustainability initiatives, visit sustainability.fb.com.Credits:This show is produced by work by work: Scott Newman, Jemma Rose Brown, Emily Shaw, Kathleen Ottinger and by Sophia Li.

The science around the climate crisis is no longer disputable. So now the question is, what is the role each of us can play in talking about the climate with our friends, and help bring more people into this movement? How can we debunk the myths and uplift the facts? How do we balance urgency with optimism? In this episode, we'll speak to researcher John Cook and activist Jon Leland to unpack how we can better communicate about the climate—with skeptics and believers alike. Featuring:John Cook | Monash University Climate Change Communication Research Hub | Post-Doctoral Research Fellow Jon Leland | Kickstarter | Head of Sustainability Robbie Goldfarb | Meta | Critical Information ProductsSarah Sasaki Tsien | Meta | SustainabilityShow Notes:Skeptical Science is a website developed by John Cook devoted to climate science & rebutting climate misinformation.

John Cook follows scientists Michael Mann (@MichaelEMann) and Katharine Hayhoe (@KHayhoe) for more information on the climate. Jon Leland reads newsletters to stay up to date on climate news: Bill McKibben, HEATED from Emily Atkin, and articles from Bloomberg Green.Jon Leland recommends getting involved in local chapters of organizations like 350, the Sunrise Movement, and River Keepers. The 2021 report, Climate Change in the American Mind, referenced by Sophia and John Cook, found that only 15% of Americans think that global warming is not happening (and only 9% are “very or extremely” sure it is not happening.)

What if everything you bought—from your phone to your clothes to your dining room table—was made to be infinitely repaired and remade? Circularity is the essence of nature: resources like water and energy are passed from one organism to the next. It is a process which generates no “waste,” because everything is (re)used. So what if our systems for making things mimicked nature's systems? We're joined by designer Korina Emmerich and writer Emily Stochl to discuss the climate impact of the fashion industry, the changes we must make to support a more sustainable future—and how we can while still having fun expressing ourselves through fashion. Together, we'll explore how to make the ways that we shop and live, a little more circular. Featuring:Korina Emmerich | EMME Studio | Founder, DesignerEmily Stochl | Remake | Advocacy MangerLeslie Collins | Meta | Responsible Supply Chain Jonathan Rowe | Meta | Data Center Sustainability Show Notes:Korina Emmerich is the founder of slow fashion brand EMME Studio.

Water is one of our most precious resources. If we're going to make sure there is enough water for future generations to live, we need a revolution in the way we think about and use water.

Sustainability. It's a buzzword, it's a big word. It can mean everything and nothing. But what does “sustainability” even mean today? And does it have the same meaning for everyone? In this episode, host Sophia Li sits down with climate change educator Ariel Maldonado and filmmaker and activist Anya Sastry to discuss what sustainability means to them, why this idea is so important, and why each of us needs to reframe our relationship with sustainability in order to work towards a more secure and just future for all.
