Please inform your readers about how to stop climate change by stopping its cause. According to Lord Stern's advice to the UK government in 2006, climate change has been caused by the biggest market the world has ever known. However, he made no recommendation to stop market failure. Instead, he accepted market failure and recommended only amelioration by carbon taxing or trading. This is like trying to run up an escalator that is taking humanity down to what the UN Secretary-General described as a highway to climate hell. Market failure can be stopped by changing the nature of money by tethering it to an index of sustainability in each bioregion of the planet.

We are thrilled to announce an open call for nominating podcast interviewees! The Open Climate community has honed in on the need for creating more narratives about why working at the nexus of open + climate is necessary, and telling the stories of those who are already doing that work. To that end, Season 3 of the Data Dialogues podcast will be a collaboration with open climate practitioners and projects. Hosted by Madhuri Karak, Ph.D. Karak and produced by Michelle Cheripka of OEDP, Data Dialogues x Open Climate will highlight climate stories where an “open” approach to work created valuable solutions. Through interview questions, we will draw out the narratives behind key climate questions, which will be followed by the portable lesson for others who are curious and interested in taking action to support climate justice. The result will be a total of 10 short, punchy episodes - 12-15 minutes each - part story and part primer, with a tight focus on how climate action has been achieved through open principles. To nominate a person or project, please fill out the below form by January 14, 11:59 pm PT. Feel free to reach out to michelle@openenvironmentaldata.org if you have any questions beforehand. https://lnkd.in/d9s4yH-v #Podcast #Podcasts #Podcasting #nomination #nominations #NominateNow #OpenData #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis #ClimateJustice #OpenScience #OpenSource #media #DataDialoguesPodcast

Communication itself is a powerful tool to disseminate the sensitive and complex information. Climate communication should always be active not passive and be optimistic not pessimistic when it comes to the communities that are affected the consequences. #climatecrisis #climatecommunication

LISTEN NOW: Hidden handbrakes – what’s holding back climate action? --> https://ow.ly/gHVq50QwjuQ Despite global efforts to tackle the impacts of climate change, we are failing to achieve critical climate objectives. IIED’s Hidden Handbrake campaign aims to reveal and explain the bureaucratic, political, legal and practical barriers to countries taking effective action in response to climate change.   This episode features a conversation between Tom Mitchell, executive director of IIED, and Sejal Patel, a senior researcher in IIED focusing on climate finance and climate resilient development. The episode also has vital contributions from three climate and environment specialists: veteran climate journalists Megan Rowling and David Shukman, and Dr. Achala C. Abeysinghe, regional director and head of programmes at the Global Green Growth Institute, who share their perspectives on the hidden handbrakes. #HiddenHandbrakes #ClimateAction #podcast #ListenNow

My new podcast is up and running! "Climate+" is a global, interview-driven podcast that educates and inspires a global audience, from the climate-curious to the climate-committed, who seek both purpose and prosperity in addressing the unprecedented, interconnected, and global challenges we face. It’s climate change, of course, but also pollution, endemic, species loss, population gain, migration, resource conflict, and so many others, with feedback loops in and between and around each. Multiply that by mitigation, adaptation, resilience, and justice. Then raise it to the power of the entire planet. Climate+ addresses that complexity head-on with dynamic interviews of hand-picked experts and practitioners from around the world and across industry, academia, finance, government, and society at-large. Focused on substance and not marketing, Climate+ brings real-world experience and examples, especially those that are particularly effective and adaptable, and shows how we apply our unique selves – our superpowers – to move our world forward, no matter who, what, or where we are on our small planet. That’s the Climate+ World. Let’s get to work!  https://lnkd.in/gDCs9NFK
