How can climate activists be more successful in 2025? And where have they gone wrong? Kumi Naidoo has a storied career as an activist. At just 15 years old, he started out as an anti-apartheid campaigner and organiser in South Africa, before fleeing the country and attending Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar, where he received a PhD for his research into the resistance movement in South Africa. After Nelson Mandela was freed, he returned home to help organise Mandela's campaign to become President, and later became the head of both Greenpeace and Amnesty International. Naidoo has turned his energy to a new campaign, one that focuses specifically on the phase out of fossil fuels: the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative. The Initiative, founded by former Cleaning Up guest Tzeporah Berman, seeks to establish a binding agreement amongst the most ambitious nations to phase out fossil fuels. So far, it has been endorsed by 16 nation states and 131 subnational governments and cities. Naidoo joins Bryony Worthington to talk about what he's learned from 45 years of campaigning, from hunger strikes to occupying oil rigs in the Arctic, where he thinks activism needs to go from here, and why he believes the Fossil Fuel Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative is the path forward. Leadership CircleCleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Division Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

From “packs of wolves” spreading disinformation online, to death threats, these women have paid a high cost for their climate advocacy work. As a family physician, Dr. Melissa Lem knew she could not stay silent on the dangers of climate change once she started to learn more. Climate advocate Tzeporah Berman waded into Alberta politics and got more than she bargained for. When Judy Wilson, former chief of the Neskonlith Indian Band, spoke out about a pipeline expansion, she says she started noticing strange things. We're re-sharing this documentary by producer Molly Segal, which recently won an international journalism award from Covering Climate Now.

The environmental movement has made something clear: For the health of the planet, humans need to stop using so much fossil fuel. Period. Many efforts to reduce fossil fuel use focus on consumer behavior — CAFE standards, electric vehicle subsidies, and the like are designed to lessen demand for these polluting fuels. Meanwhile, billions upon … Continue reading Tzeporah Berman on the Fossil Fuel Treaty → This article and podcast Tzeporah Berman on the Fossil Fuel Treaty appeared first on Sea Change Radio.

Episode Summary In this new episode of Driving Impact, we speak to Dr. Tzeporah Berman, International Program Director Stand.earth & Chair at Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, on the importance of reducing fossil fuel production and the need for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.  An experienced climate activist, Dr Berman emphasizes the role of citizens in advocating for change, such as contacting elected officials, organizing petitions, and participating in marches. Dr. Berman also highlights the work of Stand.earth, an organization that analyzes data on various sectors and campaigns for change. She encourages individuals to support the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and engage with organizations working towards climate action.  Reaching 1.5 degrees of warming signifies a critical moment in our planet's history, highlighting the urgent need for ambitious and collective action to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to unavoidable impacts, and build a more resilient and sustainable future for generations to come. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the outcomes of COP28 and the ongoing efforts to address climate change. In this conversation, we discuss various environmental issues and conservation efforts. We highlight California's lawsuit against the oil industry and its commitment to the Fossil Fuel Non-proliferation Treaty.  We emphasize the importance of raising awareness and mobilizing public support for environmental causes. There are simple actions each individual can take: 1) contact elected officials & organizations about the change you would like to see (i.e.: your vote matters), 2) organize petitions for climate change and 3) Reduce your carbon footprint, and 4) Participate in marches  Takeaways: Reducing fossil fuel production is crucial for addressing climate change. Citizens can make a difference by contacting elected officials, organizing petitions, and participating in marches. Stand.earth analyzes data on various sectors and campaigns for change. Supporting the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty is a powerful way to advocate for reducing fossil fuel production. COP28 highlighted the need for stronger action on climate change. California is suing the oil industry for hiding information about climate change and weakening environmental laws. California has signed onto the Fossil Peel Treaty, demonstrating its commitment to addressing climate change. Raising awareness and mobilizing public support are crucial for conservation efforts. Individuals can make a difference by reducing their carbon footprint and engaging with elected officials and organizations.

This week, I'm thrilled to share a few of my reflections and takeaways after reviewing my top episodes of all time after 3 years of podcasting. This will be our 168th episode. The primary goal of this podcast episode is to connect with my audience. What have you liked over the past 3 years? What haven't you liked? And indeed what would you like to see more of? The primary categories we've covered in this time are: Social ImpactSustainability, Regeneration and CircularityHealth & WellnessGenerally, there have been 2 formats to the show. The first is the primary format -- interviews. The second is solocasts -- which are journalistic deep dives in to a particular topic, book or issue. The third is a screen shared commentary with a few different guests in a panel format (though these are rare). And we've also shared bonus episodes, where I have guested on other shows, primarily in the health & wellness space that I call my professional home.

As a family physician, Dr. Melissa Lem knew she couldn't stay silent on the health dangers of climate change. But when she spoke out against the use of fossil fuels, the backlash was more vitriolic and personal than she ever expected. She's not alone. From death threats to sexual intimidation and sinister phone calls, Dr. Melissa Lem, Tzeporah Berman, and Judy Wilson have paid a high cost for their climate advocacy work. It's a trend that has alarmed human rights organizations like Amnesty International, who say that women—especially racialized and sexually diverse women—are disproportionately targeted. On this week's Storylines, producer Molly Segal meets three climate advocates who set out to speak up for the planet, and are now needing to speak up for themselves.

From “packs of wolves” spreading disinformation online, to death threats, these women have paid a high cost for their climate advocacy work. As a family physician, Dr. Melissa Lem knew she could not stay silent on the dangers of climate change once she started to learn more. Climate advocate Tzeporah Berman waded into Alberta politics and got more than she bargained for. When Judy Wilson, former chief of the Neskonlith Indian Band, spoke out about a pipeline expansion, she says she started noticing strange things.

Tzeporah Berman is the International Program Director for Stand.Earth.

In 1993, eight hundred and fifty-seven people were arrested for civil disobedience in the Clayoquot protests, a series of blockades related to clearcutting in clayoquot sound, British Columbia. Today's guest, Tzeporah Berman, was one of the leading spokespersons and blockage coordinators at the time. Today, she is the co-founder of Stand.earth, a grassroots environmental organization, and chair of the fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty initiative, a proposed treaty to explicitly stop the expansion of fossil fuel exploitation and manage a transition from coal, oil, and gas to clean energy. Initially studying arts, fashion, and design, Tzeporah promptly switched to studying environmental studies at the University of Toronto after backpacking through Europe in the late 1980s, where she saw firsthand industrialization's impact on the Harz mountains in Germany. Tzeporah speaks with Marco about how she found herself in jail right after university supporting the Clayoquot protests, from which she learned that change is made through power. She also shares that we've invested more in clean, renewable energy in the last year but still need to continue declining emissions and production to combat climate change. The world is being re-invented, from how we heat our homes, to how we travel, and Tzeporah's work through stand earth and the fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty initiative shows us that now is an exciting and essential time to get involved and stand up for our earth.

A fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty is exactly what is needed to switch off the fossil fuel pipelines that are driving crazily hot temperatures, flash flooding, and droughts that directly threaten the global food production system. [Join now to get full episodes early: https://genn.cc or https://patreon.com/genncc ] In this ClimateGenn episode I speak with the Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, Tzepora Berman. Tzepora and her colleagues are designing the framework by which we can begin to switch off the fossil fuel supply that is the root cause of what is a real-time climate emergency.

This week's guest is Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency and one of the world's foremost energy economists. Fatih has been in-post since 2015, and is a returning guest to Cleaning Up, having appeared on Episode 28, all the way back in January 2021. Under Fatih's leadership, the IEA has expanded its mandate to become a leading voice on clean energy technologies, energy efficiency and net-zero pathways.Few people have as clear a view on the entire energy sector as Fatih, so Michael headed to Paris and IEA HQ to hear insights on surging EV sales, the urgent need for grid modernization and expansion, and a reality-check on hydrogen's role on the path to net-zero. Make sure you like, subscribe, and share Cleaning Up.

At COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, The New American's Alex Newman interviewed Canadian environmental activist Tzeporah Berman of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative. Berman is virulently against fossil-fuel usage, claiming that 98 percent of global emissions could be eliminated with the switch to renewables and that 85 percent of those global emissions “smothering ...

Hello! Ed's just come back from COP27 where he was roving with his mic. He spoke to some experts on how we shift to zero carbon power and break our dependency on fossil fuels. We talk to Kingsmill Bond about why the transition to renewables makes economic sense. Tzeporah Berman tells us about the potential of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to constrain supply. And Mohamed Adow tells us why the continent of Africa could lead the way in becoming a renewable energy superpower, and what that means for its development.GuestsKingsmill Bond, Energy Strategist, Rocky Mountain Institute (@KingsmillBond) (@RockyMtnInst)Tzeporah Berman, Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (@tzeporah) (@fossiltreaty)Mohamed Adow, Director, Power Shift Africa (@mohadow) (@PowerShftAfrica)More infoRead about past and current peaks in fossil fuel demand (RMI)Visit Kingsmill Bond's website to read about the drivers of change for the transition to renewables and the myths of the incumbencyListen to Kingsmill on the Volts PodcastLearn more about the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation TreatyAccess the Global Registry of Fossil Fuels (Carbon Tracker; Global Energy Monitor)Watch Tzeporah's TED TalkVisit Power Shift Africa's Website Hosted on Acast.

Fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal are the reason for floods, fires, storms, and heat waves. The government knows that this needs to be dealt with, and yet oil and gas companies are making record profits right now. People need to stand together and make their message heard. They need to start taking action by joining climate change groups. You don't need to buy a Tesla to be a part of the movement. There is still hope if everyone acts together. Join Corinna Bellizzi as she talks to environmental activist Tzeporah Berman about the dangers of fossil fuels and what you can do about them. Learn why people need to stand up together so government officials can start listening. Have hope, and the climate will change for the better.Love the show?

How do you go from being a passionate tree-hugger to a business-suited change-maker on behalf of the forests? Enter ForestEthics Program Director Tzeporah Berman. With a string of conservation successes, including the "Amazon of the North," her inspiring story shows how innovative market-based strategies, strange bedfellows, and public embarrassment are powerful tools to preserve the wild places that provide our essential ecosystem services.

Tzeporah Berman started her climate career cooking for activists at a camp protesting anti-felling in British Columbia. A year later she was arrested in the same place, microphone in hand, as one of the movements' leading climate defenders. Since then Tzeporah has become one of Canada's most prominent environmentalists, with a mission to inspire the next generation of activists. Sam and Tom managed to sit down with Tzeporah at COP26 to discuss her career, from negotiating the Great Bear Rainforest agreement, to co-directing Greenpeace's Global Climate and Energy Program, and now chairing the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative.

We bring you a special show this morning called Over a Barrel. It's about the challenge of a just transition in Canada's energy sector, supporting those who work in it and limiting the worst effects of climate change. We talk to Travis Hann, a pipe fitter from Newfoundland who works in an oil patch near Fort McMurray, Alta; and Randall Benson, who used to work in the oilsands as an electrician. He now works in solar energy and helps other workers transition. Then, we hear from Sadie Vipond, a 15-year-old climate activist from Calgary, who joins us from her first day at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow. Plus, long-time environmentalist Tzeporah Berman discusses a bold proposal, the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative; and Chief Sustainability Officer at Suncor Energy Martha Hall Findlay argues that addressing the use of fossil fuels is only part of the solution. In Estevan, Sask., Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce Jackie Wall discusses efforts to help the many members of her community who work in the local coal mine and two major coal-fired power stations. And is Canadian oil and gas really ready for transition? We ask Jackie Forrest, executive director of the ARC Energy Research Institute, which provides analysis of energy trends to investors and corporate leaders; David Yager, an oil industry consultant and the author of From Miracle to Menace: Alberta, A Carbon Story; and Angela Carter, a professor of political science at the University of Waterloo who studies the economic and ecological risks of fossil fuel dependence.

Guest host Eric Sorensen speaks to Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc about Ottawa's priorities as a new federal cabinet is sworn in. Former federal cabinet ministers Lisa Raitt and Anne McLellan discuss the importance of women at the cabinet table. Canadian climate change activist Tzeporah Berman says the Trudeau government doesn't have the best record heading to COP26 in Glasgow. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In what world would stockpiling something so deadly it threatens the future of human survival on planet Earth, make sense? Yep, that's right, THIS planet! We're currently on track to produce 120% more oil, coal and gas (aka fossil fuels) in the next decade than the world can ever burn. So why are we still stockpiling it? In this jaw-dropping episode of Climate Curious by TEDxLondon, environmental campaigner, Tzeporah Berman, reveals the shocking grip the fossil fuel industry has on our governments, economies, societies… and even our minds, and what we can do to fight back. Tune in with co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst live from TED Countdown to learn about how we can think and act more like citizens and less like consumers, why fossil fuel polluters want us to feel guilty about our lifestyle choices, how ‘groupthink' made us all focus on emissions instead of production, and as Tzeporah puts it, why “we don't need better light bulbs, we need better laws.” Watch Tzeporah's TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/tzeporah_berman_the_global_treaty_to_phase_out_fossil_fuels Sign the Fossil Fuel Non-ProliferationTreaty: https://fossilfueltreaty.org/

Tzeporah is a Canadian environmental activist, campaigner and writer. She has worked in environmentalism for 30 years, is the co-founder and International Program Director at Stand.Earth and the Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative. From being arrested at the front lines of forest conservation initiatives, to speaking directly with the CEOs of fossil fuel corporations, Tzeporah has seen it all. We speak about regulation as it relates to both consumption and production, the difference between being a citizen vs. being a consumer, and we dissect the complexities of locating “responsibility” for ending the climate crisis. We discuss how humans are not separate from nature, but a part of nature itself, the unknown long-term effects of clearcutting and reforestation, and how to create hope in a seemingly hopeless situation.

The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is being called a 'code red for humanity,' saying that it is unequivocally humans driving climate change. Climate activist Tzeporah Berman joins us with more on that. In our 2nd half, we talk about the issues of food pricing and food security in the face of serious wildfires and climate change.

Anastasia Avvakumovah/CKTZ News - As the RCMP continue arrests of peaceful forest defenders at the Fairy Creek blockades, legal and political questions abound following the BC Court's decision to take over the persecution of arrestees at the request from logging corporation Teal Jones. “I find it reprehensible that the government is going to be using taxpayers' dollars and jailing its own citizens, because of its own failure to implement its own policy. I think history will look back on this moment in time in British Columbia's history and all of these people -- these teachers, these scientists, these nurses, these Olympic swimmers, amazing people that I met, who are blockading at Fairy Creek -- they are not criminals. They are heroes. And I think that's how they're going to be seen.” Long-time activist Tzeporah Berman, founder of Stand.earth, was deeply involved in the Clayoquot Sound old-growth-logging protests in the early 90's, the largest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history, with more than 900 arrests of forest defenders. As of Wednesday, July 28, the Fairy Creek Blockade's official media channel reports 496 arrests to date and counting, since police enforcement of the court injunction granted to Teal Jones Group began in late May of this year. Berman spoke about her arrest and objectionable treatment she received while in police custody on Saturday, May 22, as well as her recent hearing on Thursday, July 8, when she successfully challenged her bail conditions. The latter had prevented her from going back to the entire Fairy Creek area. Although the judge's ruling applied to her only, she encourages others arrested at the blockades to use her legal arguments, which are now on public record, to contest their own bail conditions and win the right to return to the protests. Berman is still charged with civil contempt of court and will have another hearing in the fall. Since her arrest, BC Attorney-General David Eby approved Teal Jones' appeal for the responsibility of prosecution to be handled by the Supreme Court of BC, meaning it will now be funded at taxpayers' expense. Teal Jones also lobbied for civil disobedience charges to be escalated to criminal conduct. Meanwhile, a coalition of independent media outlets won the right in a BC Supreme court ruling to be present and document the arrests at Fairy Creek without undue obstruction by the RCMP. Until the ruling last week and even in the days following, media access was at the whim of RCMP officers on the scene. The protesters at Fairy Creek, who prefer to be known as forest defenders, employ non-violent direct action, such as physically blockading loggers from road building and tree falling. Arrests have at times turned violent at the hands of the RCMP, notably so when dealing with indigenous youth blockaders. Berman remains hopeful that BC's remaining old growth, key to the planet's life-support systems, will be protected, and offers smart solutions for alternative economic development.

With a hot wildfire season upon Western Canada and a record-shattering heat dome that just killed hundreds of people in B.C., it's imperative for Jewish Canadians to look at climate change as a real threat and ask what they can do to help. And yet, despite a clear intersection between environmental protection and Jewish values in the Torah and Mishnah, there has been very little collective Jewish action beyond a few groups and some prominent climate activists. One of those prominent activists joins us today. Tzeporah Berman, a longtime Canadian activist whose resume includes years at Greenpeace and working with various arms of the B.C. government, and who is the co-founder of Stand.earth, joins to discuss the Jewish angle on environmentalism: what we can do to help, and why climate change is a Jewish cause. Bonjour Chai is hosted by Avi Finegold, Melissa Lantsman and Ilana Zackon. Michael Fraiman is the producer. Andrew Goulet is the technical producer. Our theme music is by Socalled. The show is a co-production from The Jewish Learning Lab and The CJN, and is distributed by The CJN Podcast Network.

The storied Canadian activist has created a template for a global agreement to cap and reduce fossil fuel production. I talked with her about why it's time to address supply and where the treaty could go in the future. Get full access to Volts at www.volts.wtf/subscribe

Tzeporah Berman has been designing environmental campaigns and working on environmental policy in Canada and beyond for over twenty years. She currently is International Program Director at Stand.Earth. She is an Adjunct Professor of York University Faculty of Environmental Studies and works as a strategic advisor to a number of First Nations, environmental organizations and philanthropic foundations on climate and energy issues. Tzeporah’s thoughts on What Could Possibly Go Right? include:That we have the highest level of engagement around climate change than ever, as the former “invisible threat for the future” becomes tangible with impacts in our daily lives.That recent changes in technology, renewable energy pricing and engagement from civil society is creating political space for decision makers to actually act and stand up to the fossil fuel industry.The creation of a new global Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, “a campaign for something that is commensurate with the scale of the actual problem” and addresses fossil fuel production, not only emissions.That moving to renewable energy is also about redistributing power; an entirely different model than that of fossil fuels on which industrial society was built.That social change isn’t linear and many great moments in history happen at tipping points.That more people lose their homes today as a result of climate change than war. “We need big bold breakthroughs, because we are racing against the clock… This is our moment to propose some significant bold shifts and new ideas to change the landscape.”ResourcesFossilFuelTreaty.org Connect with TzeporahWebsite: Tzeporahberman.com Website: stand.earthFacebook: facebook.com/TzeporahFacebook: facebook.com/standearthTwitter: twitter.com/TzeporahTwitter: twitter.com/standearthFollow WCPGR on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/WhatCouldPossiblyGoRightPodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/postcarbonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/postcarboninstitute/Learn more: https://bit.ly/pci-wcpgrseriesDon't forget to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss an episode of What Could Possibly Go Right?Support the show (https://www.postcarbon.org/support-what-could-possibly-go-right/)

The shelving of the Teck Resources Frontier project — an oilsands mine twice the size of Vancouver — has many arguing over the right balance between climate action and resource development. Today on Front Burner, we get two viewpoints on Canada's energy future: former TransCanada executive Dennis McConaghy and Stand.earth program director Tzeporah Berman. McConaghy says Canada is punishing itself while the rest of the world continues to profit off hydrocarbons. Berman believes markets and political leaders are turning the page on fossil fuels and Canada needs to do the same.

Alberta has deliberately designed its economy to be reliant on oil and gas production--which means the international climate change crisis matters here more than almost anywhere else. But you won't hear much on that subject from Alberta's monolithic, corporate media establishment. On this special episode of the Progress Report, taped live at the University of Calgary on November 4th, we interview climate activist and former Oil Sands Advisory Group member Tzeporah Berman to understand the climate debate beyond the narrow perspective and shallow discourse we get here in Alberta.

Political protest is on the rise — and with it, a growing need for leaders to speak to protest rallies. This episode, we talk with veteran environmental and climate campaigner Tzeporah Berman about rally speeches: how to plan, write and deliver them for maximum impact. This two-part episode starts with a discussion on planning your speech and thinking about strategy, and concludes in part two by talking about writing and delivery. About our guest: Tzeporah has over two decades of experience designing campaigns and speaking to crowds small and large (and very large). She's one of the leading Canadian voices on climate, energy and sustainability — and she's had a tremendous impact. There are 40 million hectares of old-growth forest that are still around today in no small part because of her work. She’s an adjunct professor at York University, and works as a strategic advisor to several First Nations, environmental groups and philanthropic foundations on climate and energy issues. She co-chaired the Alberta government’s Oilsands Advisory Working Group, which developed consensus recommendations on the province’s climate plan. Tzeporah she co-founded ForestEthics — now called Stand.earth — nearly 20 years ago, and recently returned to the organization as their international program director. Links: I had the good fortune of collaborating with Tzeporah on a blog post about speaking to rallies a few years ago. Two years on, it's still the most popular post on my blog. Here's more information about Tzeporah from Stand.earth, formerly ForestEthics. You can also find Tzeporah on Twitter and Facebook.

Our interviews with Dale Bracewell and Tzeporah Berman. The post Climate Change Interview Special appeared first on Cambie Report.

We are experiencing the worst times in the Alberta oil patch in a generation, or maybe ever. It’s a homegrown recession caused by two levels of government who have no will or desire to build pipelines to export markets. Despite all the positive things they’re saying right now about Alberta’s oil and gas, these politicians, Notley and Trudeau, have surrounded themselves with the leading voices of the “No to oil” movement, putting people like Brian Topp, Tzeporah Berman, and Gerald Butts in positions of influence and power over Alberta’s resource sector. We’ve been fully colonized by the radical environmental movement and now regular families are paying the price. Job losses, foreclosures, and bankruptcies are all too commonplace. Trudeau, while in Argentina, even insinuated that Canadian men who work on pipeline construction would cause adverse “social impacts” in rural communities. However, now the people who orchestrated this catastrophe are saying they are the ones best able to repair it. Trudeau bought a pipeline that wasn’t for sale and stopped the expansion of it, and Notley is cutting oil production by nearly 9 per cent. It’s exactly what Greenpeace would do if they were in charge. No drilling. No pipelines. But the people have had enough. Rolling rallies, protests against the Prime Minister and his cabinet are becoming the norm in Alberta and largely apolitical people, folks normally interested in just going to work and paying their bills, are getting politically motivated to change their governments. Will the momentum for change carry through 2019? Or are people worn out, dejected and beaten down by the economy and two governments that refuse to listen? Joining me tonight is Robbie Picard of Oil Sands Strong to discuss the Prime Minister’s insult to Canadian men in front of the international press, Rachel Notley’s cap on oil production and what the future holds for Alberta’s oil and gas workforce.

Two big stories in the world of teachers are at the fore today. New numbers out show just how much violence teachers have to endure at the hands of students. Meanwhile, Tzeporah Berman will be making a command performance at an upcoming teacher's conference. But contrary to what social media thinks, union dues are not being used to pay for her appearance. We talk with the ATA's Jonathan Teghtmeyer about both of these stories.

This week, we bring you two interviews from our archive with environmental activists from around the world. First, we pulled a story about activist Tzeporah Berman, who we talked to about bringing together activists and corporate interests. After that, we revisit the time we interviewed another prolific environmental activist, Dr. Vandana Shiva, a physicist, ecologist and author […]

Courageous and innovative activists like Visionary Tzeporah Berman are on the front lines of the quest to save the world’s last remaining great wild forests. She is part of an unprecedented coalition coming together with the urgent knowledge that old-growth forests are the lifeboat for the ecology of Planet Earth. They’re developing a new conservation-based economy that serves both people and planet.

We are living a turning point in history, the moment when we are re-envisioning industrial society. We now know that the cumulative impacts of our fossil fuel economy threaten the air we breathe, the water we drink and even a stable economy and climate. The good news is that major advances in technology and the dramatic drop in the price of renewable energy make the scale of change necessary within our grasp. Moderated by Kathryn Harrison, PhD'93 - Senior Associate Dean, UBC's Faculty of Arts; Professor of Political Science. This talk was recorded May 28, 2016 at UBC100: What's Next? at UBC's Vancouver campus.

We gather in radio council, at this time of Dire Beauty, to magnetize, animate and spiral forth the unifying guiding narrative of now. Caroline hosts Tzeporah Berman and Chief Phil Lane Jr., among our most effective allies, dedicated to protecting life. We are reporting in from the Gathering at Holly Hock (where we've all been presenting) on Cortes Island BC, sharing a land-line phone, as a talking stick. (Because we are plucky, playful, and it is KPFA Fund dive in which we will be offering Tzeporah's book “This Crazy Time.” as an enticement to pledge to the only remaining completely listener sponsored radio network in North America).   The post The Visionary Activist – Protecting the Sacred appeared first on KPFA.

Canadian environmentalist and activist Tzeporah Berman's new book is "This Crazy Time", which is a personal and political memoir of her environmental battles, from Clayoquot Sound, to her present challenges as co-director of Greenpeace International's climate and energy campaign.

In this podcast: an ethics expert on the importance of hate speech, eco-defenders stand up to corporate greenwashing, talking access to content with Canada's Pirate Party, and truckers with something to say. Not to mention some hard rock from the '80s, and a delicious taste of Montreal hip-hop! It's been a little while since Ann Coulter's speech at the University of Ottawa was cancelled because of concerns for her safety due to angry crowds. Coulter herself was the one who pulled the plug on her appearance, but she's filing a human rights complaint because of the experience which, she says, violated her freedom of speech. The ordeal has gotten people talking about what types of speech should and shouldn't be allowed a soapbox in public discourse. And beyond that – whether the banning of any kind of speech is something we should condone. Professor Arthur Schafer is Director of the Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics at the University of Manitoba. In his opinion, even hate speech plays an important role in public dialogue. Here's what he had to say about the topic, in an interview with Canadian Dimension's Jeff Hughes. Recently, Greenpeace hired Tzeporah Berman as its new Climate Energy director. The move has caused outrage among activists – especially ones in British Columbia, who are familiar with Berman's history of corporate collaboration. Dru Oja Jay is a member of The Dominion editorial collective in Montreal, and co-founded SaveGreenpeace.Org in light of the organization's growing flirtation with big business. Here's part of what he had to say in an interview with Redeye… Even if she isn't here to play co-host this week, Meagan Perry's still making an appearance. For the latest episode of The Ruckus, Meagan had a chat with Brian Vollmer of Helix – one of Canada's most well-known hard rock bands. They talked about everything from Helix's three-decade history to women in music videos, with a few of the band's tracks thrown in for good measure – including this one. From 1983, here's Helix with “Heavy Metal Love.” If listening to music is something you're passionate about, you probably get it any way you can. Maybe you head to the nearest record store and pay for it at the counter, the good old fashioned way. Or perhaps you opt for buying individual songs on iTunes. Or maybe – just maybe – you don't pay at all. With advances in technology, pirated material is becoming more common all the time, and so are the measures being taken to prevent copyright infringements. That's where the Pirate Party comes into play. Following its success in Sweden, the Pirate Party of Canada was formed in late 2009. Its goal is to reform the copyright and patent system to reflect changes in how the public consumes content, and to protect both our privacy and access to culture. Street Cred's Adam Bemma met for an interview with Daniel LaSalle, the Pirate Party's spokesman. Here's some of that conversation… “Getting a message out” is the theme behind the latest episode of Decoder – a new podcast put together by journalism students at the University of Western Ontario. For most people, conveying a message isn't something hard to do – we've got telephones, email, and even the classic face-to-face method, when you're feeling bold. But what about if you're behind the wheel of a big rig for hours at a time, alone on the road, with nothing to keep you company but ever-changing radio signals and your own thoughts? Well, it becomes more of a challenge. That's why there's a new community of truckers embracing the form of media you're using this very moment. Here's Curtis File's “big rig report” on how truckers are hitting the road – and the ears – through podcasting. We leave you with a song by Dramatik, a Montreal hip-hop artist who recently performed at the Artists for Haiti II concert there. The song, “40 Barz”, is the opening track off his album – “La Boite Noire.”

Macdonald Stainsby, a creator of savegreenpeace.org, talks about why the appointment of Tzeporah Berman as director of Greenpeace International global climate and energy campaign has caused such an uproar within the Canadian ranks of Greenpeace. Stainsby also talks about the growing tendency of environmental groups to take money from the world’s biggest polluters. Sid Shniad of Independent Jewish Voices is one of the 8800 Jewish Canadians and Americans named in this year’s Self-Hating Israel-Threatening (S.H.I.T.) list. He talks about the list and what its creators intend by it. Devlin Kuyek of Grain describes the amazing global land grab as vast portions of the most fertile lands of Africa are being bought off or leased by multinational companies. Mitch Podolak devotes Music is the Weapon to fallen comrade Liz Barkley.

Provincial Liberal Victoria-Swan Lake candidate Jesse McClinton discusses his campaign. ForestEthics co-founder and PowerUp Canada executive director Tzeporah Berman shares her thoughts on how the carbon tax became a headlining issue during the first week of the election. And our rabble-rousing panel - Don Anderson, Eleanor Gregory, Bob Russell and Allan Warnke - debate the week that was in provincial and federal politics.

Are Northern forests a source of global warming or the solution? Forest Ethics has published a new report on protecting the Great Bear rainforest to prevent climate change while a new study by Lawrence Livermore laboratory scientists says that more trees in the north may actually exacerbate global warming. Pratap Chatterjee hosts a discussion between the report authors, Tzeporah Berman of Forest Ethics and Govindasamy Bala of Lawrence Livermore.
