The climate crisis is a complex global issue threatening the way we live and its impacts are being felt more more severely around the world. We wonder: how could we have let this happen?
People increasingly recognise that gradual change is not enough. Join EIT Climate-KIC for a series of conversations about building hope, curiosity – and excitement – for a just and desirable future.
We’ll hear from some remarkable people who are putting truly transformative and innovative solutions into practice. We’ll ask them: "How could we achieve a climate-resilient, inclusive world for everybody?"

S3E3 - Radical Collaboration: Bringing diverse groups together meaningfully to accelerate change - an interview with Yiannis Chrysostomidis
Inspired by conversations we had with experts about the climate emergency, in Season 3 of How Could We? we’re digging into three themes that occupy the minds of many people in the climate change community - Climate Narratives, Confusion & Crisis and Radical Collaboration.
In this third episode - the season finale - we talk to Yiannis Chrysostomidis, Principal and Head of London Office at REOS Partners, a global organisation solving complex problems through the lens of radical collaboration. Yiannis' work supports changemakers to help shift the root causes of societal challenges, such as climate change.
In this episode, Yiannis discusses how talking about power can feel like a taboo subject, the importance of storytelling and understanding cultural differences when building coalitions, and how ‘network weavers’ - hidden actors who may not be considered typical power brokers - are key for enacting change.
Yiannis also outlines the key elements of REOS’ Radcal Climate Collaboration Guidebook and shares a few examples of some of the fascinating projects he’s worked on worldwide, including in Syria, South Africa and Mongolia.
This episode was presented by Anne-Sophie Garrigou & Stephanie Klotz and produced by Bárbara Mendes-Jorge.

S3E2 - Confusion & Crisis: Centring justice and demanding accountability to tackle climate change - an interview with Tonny Nowshin
Inspired by conversations we had with experts about the climate emergency, in Season 3 of How Could We? we’re digging into three themes that occupy the minds of many people in the climate change community - Climate Narratives, Confusion & Crisis and Radical Collaboration.
In this episode, we talk to Tonny Nowshin, a Bangladeshi economist currently based in Berlin. Tonny is also a degrowth and climate justice advocate, who focuses on centring the concept of justice in the climate movement.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Tonny talks about how the economic theory driving global decision-making disregards planetary boundaries, as well as her work with The Sunrise Project, which is trying to move investments away from fossil fuels.
Tonny also discussed the role of degrowth as a transformative solution for climate change - and other crises - the importance of creating accountability before a crisis hits and how Buddhist peace activist Thích Nhất Hạnh has inspired her life and her work - in the episode, we mention the Plum Village monastic community which he founded.

S3E1 - Climate Narratives: How can art reinvigorate the climate movement and inspire action? An interview with Neha Misra
Welcome back to season 3 of How Could We?, a podcast by EIT Climate-KIC.
Inspired by conversations we had with experts about the climate emergency, this season we’re digging into three themes that occupy the minds of many people in the climate change community: Climate Narratives, Confusion & Crisis and Radical Collaboration.
In this first episode, we talk to Neha Misra, a storyteller, climate justice advocate and a visual artist. We ask Neha how we can build stories of a future worth living in, talk about how art helps us tell the story of climate change, and discuss the importance of including - and valuing - the work of artists and diverse voices.
In this incredible interview, Neha thoughtfully shares her experiences and sources of inspiration. She says, “it is not ironic that we’re living in a burning world with burnout human beings' '.
We especially recommend listening to the end of the episode, as Neha shares her beautiful, eye-watering poem, “Enough”.
Check out Neha’s website and find out more about her work, including at The OpEd Project and Remote Energy.
In this episode, Neha also mentions:
Design Science Studio
The Public Voices Fellowship on the Climate Crisis
The Center for Environmental Justice at the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum
The Women’s Environmental Leadership Summit 2023
To Live and Breathe: Women and Environmental Justice in Washington, D.C.

S2E3 - France: Bringing together scientists, artists and citizens to remove soil pollution through nature-based solutions
Welcome to the final episode of Season 2 of How Could We?, a podcast by EIT Climate-KIC where we explore how to build a beautiful, just and climate-resilient future.
This season, we’re exploring how architecture, design, innovation, science, and art can help build sustainable solutions to the climate emergency. We talk to people across Europe who work on the New European Bauhaus, a creative and interdisciplinary initiative that encourages us to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future.
In this episode, we talk to Mathilde Rubinstein, Deputy Director of La Citadelle de Marseille.
Since December 2021, her association is managing the Fort d’Entrecasteaux, a historical monument that used to be owned by the military. Their initial goal was to use this land in the city center to create an urban garden and open it to all citizens. However, a simple soil analysis found a substantial amount of pollution left over from military use as well as citizen use (think fireworks!).
Their project suddenly took a completely different turn - how could they communicate about this pollution without alarming the neighbourhood? And would they still be able to open the space to the public?
Through their project REMEDSPACE, Mathilde and her colleagues created workshops and discussions with a variety of stakeholders, from local governments to researchers and citizens, to talk about the situation and co-create the future of the space together. They even invited a ceramic artist, Louise Nicollon des Abbayes, who led workshops answering questions like: How can we capture the memory of a site, how can we represent the landscape, what is heritage?
REMEDSPACE is one of the fourteen projects that were selected as part of the EIT Community New European Bauhaus initiative.
This episode was presented by Anne-Sophie Garrigou and produced by Bárbara Mendes-Jorge.

S2E2 - Spain: More inclusive playgrounds for neurodiverse children
Welcome to Season 2 of How Could We?, a podcast by EIT Climate-KIC where we explore how to build a beautiful, just and climate-resilient future.
This season, we’re exploring how architecture, design, innovation, science, and art can help build sustainable solutions to the climate emergency. We talk to people across Europe who work on the New European Bauhaus, a creative and interdisciplinary initiative that encourages us to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future.
In this episode, we talk to researchers and architects Blanca Calvo Boixet and Raquel Colacios Parra, based in Barcelona, Spain, about ASD Publics, one of the 14 projects selected as part of the EIT Community New European Bauhaus initiative. The project has created new tools and methods for urban planning professionals to design sustainable and inclusive play areas for and with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families.
The ASD Publics: Activating Spaces for Neurodiversity project reimagines and transforms playgrounds in cities to provide design guidelines to increase the potential for inclusive play and nature-based solutions in public spaces and can be implemented in other cities or countries.
This episode was presented by Anne-Sophie Garrigou and produced by Bárbara Mendes-Jorge.
