"Progress is not based on consumption. Progress is based on fundamental developments of metrics that aren't always tied to consumption." Amasia is back with a new episode of In Our Hands! In this episode, I speak with Akshat Rathi, author and London-based senior reporter for Bloomberg News. He is our first climate journalist, and has an amazing new book out titled "Climate Capitalism." We dive into the intersection of capitalism and the climate crisis, and explore the evolving social responsibility of corporations and the vital role of media representation. https://lnkd.in/gy2PcZTy

We cannot afford to skirt around issues anymore. Here's my request to everyone in my network. Use your words carefully, explicitly and truthfully to describe what's happening in our world. For example: Climate change is creating fires --> White supremacy, european colonialism and capitalism are creating a global climate catastrophe. What we say, and how we say it matters. Words shape the way we think, the way we feel, and the way we act. We cannot afford to keep giving politicians and corporate leaders a pass, by using words that downplay the issues or deflect responsibility.

I struggled with this discussion. I think you made great points against the specific narratives without really engaging with the process in which the narratives are being used (maybe that's fair because the report itself only focuses on the narratives), or the broader context in which businesses are doing climate scenarios because of TCFD and ISSB (and will soon be legally required to do scenarios under mandatory climate risk reporting) but they're using IAM-based models that basically undermine the purpose of doing the scenarios in the first place. I would suggest that more clearly articulating the range of drivers and obstacles of decarbonisation is the only way to start making any kind of decision-useful scenario, and in that respect these represent a big step forward. The physical impacts narrative also offers a way of considering acute climate risks that is otherwise completely absent from the other scenarios out there. How's this for a solution: make better, sharper, Australia-specific narratives? Who's up for it?

When future generations look back at our "present day" films, how will they perceive the absence of climate crises in storylines? Will they deem films based on this era as grossly inaccurate? What response will justify this oversight? This study offers a climate reality check on the narratives being crafted today.

If you'd like to dive into a narrative-based approach to climate future scenarios for the rest of the 2020s that (rightly, if confusingly) all involve the outcome of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this one's for you!

Matt Winning is one of the world’s only climate comedians – and he wants us all to lighten up! Telling someone you are a both climate change researcher and a stand-up comedian is rather a surprise – a bit like finding out someone is an estate agent and a really nice person. For anyone in the property sector (and I know a few), don’t shoot the messenger! This is actually the opening joke of our latest guest, a professional climate comedian. His other gig? He’s only an IPCC-recognised climate economist too… But do people really want to hear jokes about climate? And if they do, is it even a laughing matter? Our guest says yes – humour is one of the best tools we have, and he wants us all to lighten up the climate conversation. Introducing Matt Winning To find out why, this week we welcome to the stage Matthew Winning perhaps the only person in the world who is both an academic economist – as Senior Research Fellow at the Bartlett School of the Environment, Energy and Resources at UCL – and a stand-up comic. He has delivered four sell-out shows about climate change at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and his 2022 show Hot Mess became a popular book on climate change. An accomplished researcher, Matt’s work has been cited by the IPCC and the UK Committee on Climate Change, and he has co-authored the Lancet Countdown report since 2020. This week’s episode: Section one: the scholar and the clown Section two: the changing climate of comedy Section three: How funny is climate change anyway? Section four: Hot Mess and messy feelings Section five: The Lancet Countdown Section six: Why is climate economics like a cocktail sausage? Section seven: Time, change and forecasting Section eight: Closing advice #ipcc #climatechange #comedian #economist https://lnkd.in/eDs9sxnq Isabella hawke Diego Balverde RahulSam Baker Brett Hunter Rahul Dhadphale 🇰🇪🇮🇳🇬🇧 Hartej Singh

Today’s episode of “The Arc,” is the second of two episodes focusing on climate migration and equity considerations. In the episode, ECSP’s Claire Doyle and Angus Soderberg interview Dr. Yvonne Su, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Equity Studies at York University in Toronto. Dr. Su challenges oversimplified portrayals of displacement by drawing out how socioeconomic status, identity, and timeframes shape experiences of migration and draws attention to local grassroots organizations as pivotal players in addressing the challenges of climate migration.
