Podcasts about sunrise project

Understanding the past that was passed down to us is a focus of the Sunrise Project through a process of remembrance, repair and redemption.

The EU-funded SUNRISE Project piloted its novel Tool for Remote Physical Infrastructure Inspection with selected critical infrastructure operators across three European countries. The SUNRISE project aims to ensure greater availability, reliability, and continuity of critical infrastructures, to the benefit of all European citizens. Since its inception in October 2022, 41 expert organisations from 15 countries have been developing a suite of new technologies and solutions to safeguard critical infrastructures during pandemics and other major risks. Drone technology from SUNRISE Project Over the past two months SUNRISE partners were piloting one of its tools at locations in Spain, Slovenia and Italy working with transport, water and electricity operators across these three countries. The SUNRISE Tool for Remote Physical Infrastructure Inspection aims to deliver a solution for continuous, data-driven physical infrastructure inspection using satellite images, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and machine learning methods for anomaly detection. Using these technologies, it will help detect any issues and rectify them without the physical presence of workers in the area under inspection, improving safety for the people involved. The piloting work began in Slovenia where partners worked with electricity utility company ELES and Slovenian Railways. The next location was in Italy working with hydroelectricity company Hydro Dolomiti Energia (HDE). The final pilot was implemented in Marbella, Spain with water utility company ACOSOL. Speaking about the piloting work, SUNRISE project coordinator Aljosa Pasic said: "Piloting the suite of SUNRISE tools in real world scenarios is a crucial milestone in the project. Getting the opportunity to work with critical infrastructure operators across Europe and taking their feedback and inputs on board is extremely valuable as we continue to develop each technological element - in this case the remote infrastructure inspection tool. SUNRISE project partners at XLAB and ICS in Slovenia, SKYLD in Cyprus, and Eviden in Spain have been working alongside critical infrastructure operators to ensure the piloting is as effective as possible, showing the benefits of our tool in remote infrastructure inspection and anomaly detection, such as saving cost or optimizing valuable resources. We hope that we can take learnings from this round of piloting work into the further development of the remote infrastructure inspection tool while continuing to work with ACOSOL, ELES, Slovenian Railways and Hydro Dolomiti Energia to assist in the continuity and availability of their respective critical infrastructures in the face of future adverse events."

Welcome to your postcard from Paris! I'm your host, Tania Del Rio, Paris based well-being coach, passionate about the intersection between stress management, habits, mindfulness, and mental well-being. As we step into 2024, I want to extend my warmest wishes for a gentle, smooth, and easy transition into the possibilities ahead. One of my biggest learnings from 2023 was how powerful it is to set the intention to appreciate as many sunrises as possible. It is even more powerful when we get to share that experience with others. This is why I'm here today. To share the anticipation, positive emotions, and uplifting energy that we can gather, individually and collectively, every time that the sun goes up. The first step is to pay attention to the sky, the shifting light, and the orchestra of emotions inside. Even during winter time, when the sky is covered with thick clouds, there is something to appreciate outside. Wherever you are in the world, know that there is a sparkle of sun on its way. Are you ready to catch it today? Please visit my website www.happyhealthyandzen.com, for more information.

G'day mates! As you all know, I'm in Australia at the moment, on a whirlwind speaking/listening tour regarding this country's response to the Inflation Reduction Act.I've been learning a ton about Australia's history with climate policy, its clean-energy resources, and its current politics. It's all much more complex and interesting than I appreciated before coming, so I thought it would be cool to record a podcast “in the field,” while I'm here, with someone who could provide an overview of all that stuff. To my great delight, I was joined — live! in studio! — by Miriam Lyons. Lyons' resume is … daunting. She founded a progressive think tank called the Centre for Policy Development and led it for seven years; she led the climate justice campaign at GetUp, the Australian equivalent of Moveon.org; she has written or co-written two books on economics and the clean-energy transition; and currently, she is director of the Australian Economic Transformation program at the Sunrise Project, which works to scale social movements and accelerate the transition.Needless to say, she is quite familiar with the ins and outs of Australian climate politics! We had a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion. Enjoy. Get full access to Volts at www.volts.wtf/subscribe

Could there be a single lever in the global marketplace that could transform the stakes for climate change? Yes - the insurance industry. Over the past 5 years insurance has been turned upside down by a nimble network of climate campaigners that have set new rules to end insurance for fossil fuel projects. We are re-releasing this 2021 story of the Sunrise Project, the Insure our Future coalition, and the global and Australian distributed networks that have turned the world of insurance around.

 Les mois de mai et juin sont traditionnellement ceux des Assemblées Générales, celles -ci sont de plus en plus médiatisées alors que des activistes et ONG interpellent leurs dirigeants sur la soutenabilité de leurs engagements financiers. Ce fut le cas encore il y a quelques semaines pour les dirigeants du Crédit agricole, d'Amundi, de BNP Paribas, d'Axa ou encore de TotalEnergies.     La finance dite responsable s'est développée notamment en France depuis les premières émissions de Green Bonds (obligations finançant des projets à caractère écologique, primo-émission en France en janvier 2017) et l'article 173 de la loi de Transition Energétique (janvier 2015) qui contraint les investisseurs institutionnels à décrire comment ils prennent en compte les critères ESG (Environnementaux, Sociaux et de Gouvernance) dans leurs choix d'investissement.      Malgré les discours des entreprises et les efforts du législateur à réorienter les investissements, il semblerait que l'utilisation du levier financier face à l'objectif climatique de 1,5°C soit au centre de nombreuses critiques. Ceci alors qu'une étude menée en juin 2021 par OpinionWay montre que 76 % des Français estiment que l'impact des placements sur la qualité de l'environnement est un sujet important.      Lucie PINSON, Fondatrice de l'ONG Reclaim Finance, partagera son analyse du rôle actuel des investisseurs et acteurs financiers français dans notre trajectoire collective : quelles sont les déclarations, quelle est la réalité des faits à travers des exemples récents. Sommes-nous en pleine schizophrénie ? A quel niveau se prennent les décisions ? Quels sont les facteurs d'influence ?   Nous nous nous interrogerons sur la pression grandissante des ONG et des citoyens sur les acteurs, privés pour aller vers une société soutenable. Nous nous arrêterons sur les victoires importantes déjà obtenues et nous échangerons sur les moyens d'actions actuels et futurs.  Et nous aborderons également les réponses apportées par le régulateur au niveau français comme européen.     Lucie PINSON a fondé Reclaim Finance après plusieurs années de campagne sur la responsabilité des acteurs financiers dans les dérèglements climatiques. Lucie a initié et coordonné des campagnes visant à convaincre les banques, assureurs et investisseurs à ne plus soutenir l'expansion des énergies fossiles. Militante des Amis de la Terre France, elle y a travaillé entre 2013 à 2017 en tant que chargée de campagne finance puis entre 2018 et 2020 pour le Sunrise Project en tant que coordinatrice européenne d'une campagne internationale appelant les assureurs à cesser leurs soutiens au charbon. Lucie est diplômée d'un BA en histoire et sciences politiques de l'université de Rhodes en Afrique du Sud, et d'un double master en sciences politiques de l'université de la Sorbonne à Paris. Elle a reçu le prix Goldman pour l'environnement en novembre 2020, en reconnaissance de son travail sur le charbon.  Reclaim Finance est une ONG fondée en mars 2020 avec pour ultime objectif de mettre la finance au service du climat  Hébergé par Ausha.

Support strong climate journalism! Donate to Canary Media to celebrate its one-year anniversary. Public companies have a legal obligation to report a wide range of information on financial performance and competitive risks. One risk they are not required to mention in corporate America: climate risk. But that changed last week when America's top financial regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission, released a new proposal requiring companies to disclose their financial vulnerabilities to climate change.  This move toward greater corporate climate accountability in the U.S. builds on years of momentum. It's the culmination of voluntary task forces, initiatives and mandatory disclosure regulations passed in other countries.  This week: How a historic proposal mandating climate transparency could change corporate America – and how it will face political and legal backlash.

Climate finance has been center stage at COP26. Meeting the globe's climate goals will require mobilizing trillions of public and private dollars. So what exactly does that look like?During the first week of the UN climate summit, 450 financial institutions with $130 trillion in assets under management pledged to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The announcement from the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) led by UN Special Envoy Mark Carney represents a massive commitment to shift funds out of fossil fuels and into creating sustainable economies.But will the promise live up to the hype? We break down the significance of this and other major finance pledges made at COP26 with Justin Guay, director for global climate strategy at the Sunrise Project.Plus, a commitment from wealthy countries to spend $100 billion per year on helping poorer nations mitigate and adapt to climate change remains a sticking point in the global climate negotiations. But even if rich nations deliver more money in climate aid, many countries will see little benefit because they face enormous hurdles accessing the funds available.In the second half of this episode we speak to Benjamin Bartle, project director with RMI's Climate Finance Access Network (CFAN) about what it really takes to put these climate dollars to work.Listen and subscribe to Political Climate on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever you get podcasts!

Sunrise Energy Metals Limited is involved in metals recovery and industrial water treatment through their proprietary Clean-iX® continuous ion exchange technology.Sunrise Energy Metals is an ASX listed company with a long history in mining and mining technology, particularly in hydro-metallurgy. Sunrise has built a number of hydro-metallurgy plants for companies all over the world but in the last 10 years they have decided to focus their efforts on applying their technologies to mineral development. The company has built a world class team with a mining background and their key asset is the Sunrise battery materials project in Australia. It is Australia's largest integrated battery materials project focused on battery grade Nickel and Cobalt and also Scandium.The Sunrise Project is one of the largest and most cobalt-rich nickel laterite deposits in the world and is development-ready, with all key permits and approvals in place.  The Sunrise Project is also one of the largest and highest grade scandium deposits globally.The Sunrise Project's unique mineral resource, when combined with the company's proprietary ion-exchange extraction and purification processing technology, has the potential to meet a significant portion of global demand for the raw materials needed to help expand the lithium-ion battery industry, as well as providing scandium for production of the next generation of lightweight aluminium alloys for key transportation markets.A Project Execution Plan was completed in September 2020, which highlighted the Project's global importance as a sustainable, long-life, low-cost source of high purity cobalt and nickel sulphates for the battery revolution.Sunrise hopes to be able to talk to the market on financing this year and construction will follow on quickly once finance is in place. The long term mission for the company is to sustainably deliver high quality battery materials to a decarbonising planet and their project has a 50 year mine life with a lot of optionality going forward.

In 2015, then-Secretary of State John Kerry called the Paris climate treaty a “tremendous victory.” In the years since, $3.8 trillion has flowed into fossil fuels globally.Now Kerry and other White House officials are focusing on banks and insurers that are still offering a lifeline to new fossil fuel projects. Can they slow the flow of cash?This week: why finance is the main pressure point for climate.Today, all the major banks are collectively supporting hundreds of billions of dollars worth of renewables projects every year. But few are giving up on fossil fuels. One environmental campaigner put it this way: “the banks are gorging on doughnuts and then eating an apple afterwards.”A new analysis from DeSmog finds that 77% of board directors at the top-7 US banks have ties to “climate-conflicted” groups.Earlier this year, New York University released a study showing that only 7 percent of board members in the top 100 US companies -- which includes many banks -- had any climate expertise at all.This week, Justin Guay joins Katherine and Stephen as a guest co-host. Justin is the director of global climate strategy at the Sunrise Project. He’s been following the flow of money into climate-conflicted projects for a decade.Looking to grow your career in solar tech? Aurora Solar is the leader in solar design and sales software.

In this episode, the second in our miniseries on climate finance, we speak with Peter Bosshard and Elana Sulakshana about the insurance sector's role in maintaining status-quo climate policies, and what insurers can do to halt the development of more fossil-fuel infrastructure.We discuss:- What might happen if insurers didn't provide insurance for new gas and oil pipelines- The near-absolute confidentiality of who is insuring what- The role coal plants in the EU have in premature deaths- The hypocrisy of insurance companies' stated aims and actions- The uneven geographical distribution of insurance companies that want to phase out links to coal and other climate risks- The touting of investments in green tech by insurance companies to divert attention away from investments in fossil fuel- How most major insurance companies in Europe stopped insuring coal mining- How the insurance industry is organized around climate issues- The promise of insurance companies pressuring corporations on climate with share-holder resolutions- How US insurance companies lag behind peers in Europe, Australia- The role of insurance brokersPeter Bosshard is the director of the Finance Program at the Sunrise Project, the aim of which is to grow social movements to drive the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy as fast as possible. He coordinates international campaigns to accelerate the transition of the insurance industry and other investors from fossil fuels to clean energy.Elana Sulakshana leads Rainforest Action Network's campaign to stop the U.S. insurance industry from driving the climate crisis. She has been active in the climate justice movement for the last eight years, most recently organizing for just and equitable climate policy in Washington State, fighting fracking in the U.K. and campaigning for universities to divest from fossil fuels and reinvest in communities.

Our guests this week are members of Sunrise Beaverton, a local affiliate of the National Sunrise project. The Sunrise Project is driven nationally by a passion to solve the climate crisis. They state: "We are a team of experienced campaigners, analysts, and communications professionals with a mission to scale social movements to drive the transition beyond fossil fuels." They emphasize and promote youth activism. Today we welcome three representatives from the Beaverton affiliate. We'll learn more about the local organization, their achievements, and future plans.

This week, CODEPINK's National Co-Director, Carley Towne talks with CODEPINK’s Divest from the War Machine campaigner,Yousef Zakaria. They discuss strategies and tactics activists can use to organize within local communities against the war machine. The second part of today’s program includes a conversation with CODEPINK's campaign organizer, Nancy Mancias, Sunrise Project campaigner, Roberta Giordano and members of Climate Finance Action about the need for BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, to divest from fossil fuels and weapons manufacturers.

Fossil fuel divestment ain’t what it used to be. In a good way, if you ask advocates.In this episode — the second episode of Political Climate's special DITCHED miniseries — we get further into the weeds on what’s driving the Divest/Invest movement and where it’s going. We cover a lot and connect the dots in an interview with Justin Guay, director of global climate strategy at the Sunrise Project.Prior to joining Sunrise, Justin managed grant-making and strategy development for global coal campaigns at the ClimateWorks Foundation and Packard Foundation. He also ran the Sierra Club’s International Coal Campaign, with a special focus on international finance.In this conversation, we discuss how cutting off the flow of capital into fossil fuels has taken on a variety of different forms, as well as lessons learned from coal divestment that could influence a shift away from oil and gas. Justin addresses the tricky question of whether making fossil fuels harder to finance will actually curb demand for these products. We also talk about what a future without fossil fuels would look like, and how it could affect individual workers and even geopolitical relations. And that’s not all.

RADICAL INCLUSIVITY Episode 40 Part 2 Front Porch 468 E.Foothill Boulevard San Luis Obispo, CA 93405 We are back at Front Porch this week for another episode, because there was too much awesomeness to fit into one session.. Yes the place with the “cheers” philosophy is back on our recording schedule for part two. Start singing the refrain now….. “where everybody knows your name”. Last week we heard from the director, Joel Drenckpohl, and now we get into the nitty gritty, with interviews from all over the spectrum, on the California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California. This is truly the coffee shop with a purpose. Our first guest is someone whose mind never shuts down. Ask Sophie about any topic and she may have a “plan” for that. How about let's start with free energy, or leftover food as examples.We could have spent all day listening to her thoughtful complex answers. Warning: she may make you feel like a slacker in the inspirational idea category. Is there one step we could all take to help save the planet? Could you do it? No it's not just paper straws. The simple answer contained in this interview may surprise you. What does the Sunrise Project, environmental science degrees and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have to do with our day to day lives and future generations? You can definitely see the future in this young woman.With her vision there is hope for the world, and for climate change.. Washington perhaps?. What lengths would you go to to make your point on social media. Her ideas may make you pause, but they will definitely give you something to think about every time you hear the term “sex sells”. Does getting ice in your coffee mean that you have met the daily requirement recommendation for complete hydration? Can you feel comfortable and accepted as a non religious young person, while sipping the free coffee and studying daily at a “church sponsored” coffee house? See how the welcome mat is not only rolled out for everyone, but challenging discussions and freedom of religion are embraced. A coffee house where people actually care if you show up? Our next guest Paul comes now for the people, conversation and the coffee but it wasn’t always that way. Can you study experts, or be an expert on experts...and why? Check out Paul's podcast, Make It Human on Apple podcasts. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/make-it-human/id1437871836 Would you choose your college based on whether or not there was a place that served free coffee? Find out where Paul went after his radical theories of inclusivity were rejected by two religious institutions. What is the church umbrella, and is everyone always included? As a staff member, Dom has many moving pieces to her job. Find out how she goes above and beyond with the students every single day. At any moment she could be sharing life stories and connecting with her "tribe", or you might find her doing her "ad hoc" plumbing duties unclogging the toilet, or making a Costco run! For coffee lovers who “must” grind their beans daily you will learn from our next guest what her family did when the power went out. Do you have the tools on hand to complete this daily routine? She now has a staff of 130 volunteers. Find out how many people she supervised/mentored when she started, and what strengths of her own she discovered when she took this job. Multiple choice: When serving over 400 students a day, how much milk is purchased at Costco? 20 gallons B. 30 gallons  C. Ginormous amounts D. I refuse to answer I’m not in college anymore. Find out what coffee shop from The Cross Country Coffee Roadshow podcast (season 1) was her " go to" coffee stop, before she moved to San Luis Obispo. Kyle is another staffer at Front Porch. You may never say the phrase, "See you tomorrow" again without thinking of this interview. How did that one phrase change his thoughts on many things. What does a degree in rhetoric prepare you to do?

What does it mean to be a global citizen? 15-year-old filmmaker Kasha Slavner is traveling the world this Spring to document the answer to that question, by filming people who wake up every day with a desire to make the world we live in a better place, not only for themselves, but for their communities and all life that shares this planet.At 8 years old - after seeing Craig Kielburger, the founder of Free the Children, give a talk on the work of his organization - Kasha decided she was ready to start making a change in the world. Kasha became quite active very quickly - joining social justice clubs, raising funds for issues she was passionate about, and participating in campaigns for a variety of charities. In March, 2013 Kasha was selected as a youth delegate by the Canadian Voice of Women for Peace to attend the United Nations for the 57th annual session on the Commission of the Status of Women.Now, Kasha is taking a giant leap to make a difference by starting The Global Sunrise Project and convincing her mother, Marla, to let her take a semester out of school to travel the world using her love of photography, film and change-making to create a short documentary and book on global citizenship. The duo is seeking support and funding from others who believe in the project,through their Indiegogo Project for the documentary - "The Sunrise Storyteller©" -which will focus on stories of hope and resilience where people, despite what challenges they may face, are doing good things to make a difference in their own lives and in their communities - people who are "being the change they wish to see."She and her mom, Marla, will begin their 6-month trip this Spring. They will experience a completely different side of life from what they’re used to in their home of Toronto, Canada — the adventure will take them to corners of the globe where life isn’t always so easy, and they’ll be living out of one small bag with just a few changes of clothes.Kasha's mom, Marla, believes all of this experience is part of what she calls "educaring" for Kasha - which goes beyond just a traditional education.Join Julie Ann as she hosts both Kasha and Marla on ConsciousSHIFT, to explore the choices we each can make to positively impact change.
