CONVERSATIONS ON CLIMATE United Renewables

In this episode, we sit down with economist and author Professor Sir Dieter Helm to discuss his vision for a sustainable economy.
Helm asks the question, "what would it look like to live in a sustainable economy?" and offers a framework for understanding and addressing climate change.
He argues that the current narrative around net-zero is unrealistic and that a more balanced approach is needed, one that takes into account the realities of the global economy and the need for sustainable economic growth.
Helm emphasises the importance of focusing on capital assets, rather than just flows, and of considering the intergenerational impacts of our actions. He also discusses the need for a new kind of economic thinking that takes into account the realities of the 21st century, rather than relying on outdated models from the 20th century.
Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on the challenges and opportunities of achieving a sustainable future. This episode is brought to you by United Renewables in association with the University of Oxford.

Dive into the future of sustainability and challenge your assumptions about human progress with ecological economist and futurist Marc Buckley.
This captivating keynote from the Green Vision Summit & Expo in Malta explores the urgent need for a paradigm shift in how we approach environmental challenges and build a better future.
Buckley begins by questioning the hype surrounding AI sentience, arguing that the focus on technological advancement often overshadows the importance of protecting our planet's biodiversity.
He then poses a critical question that has remained unanswered for over 70 years: "What does a world that works for everyone look like?"
Unpacking the limitations of outdated concepts like the triple bottom line, Buckley introduces the 3 fundamental principles of sustainability: economics, innovation, and futures thinking. He emphasises the crucial role of ecological literacy in developing regenerative solutions and fostering intergenerational justice.
This video is a must-watch for anyone interested in:
💎 Sustainability and environmental issues
💎 The future of technology and AI
💎 Economic models for a regenerative future
💎 Building a world that works for all
 
Join the conversation and discover how we can collectively create a more sustainable and equitable future for generations to come.

In this video, economist and professor Alex Edmans discusses his latest book, "May Contain Lies: How Stories, Statistics and Studies Exploit Our Biases."
Drawing on examples from economics, finance, and politics, Edmans reveals how confirmation bias, cherry-picking, and the misuse of data can result in misinformation and poor decision-making. He also offers practical advice for becoming better at sniffing out the truth and avoiding the pitfalls of disinformation.
This conversation is a must-watch for anyone who wants to be an informed citizen in today's data-driven world. Edmans provides insights into the importance of critical thinking and statistical literacy and shares tips for how to evaluate the credibility of information and make evidence-based decisions.
Whether you're a student, a professional, or simply someone who wants to stay informed, this video is a valuable resource for learning how to navigate the complex world of information and disinformation.
 
…Readers are much more likely to remember a story than a statistic. So then how do I avoid the danger of hand-picking one story…so I wanted to write a book about misinformation, about how we need to make sure that we tame our biases and respond to evidence based on its scientific accuracy, and not whether we like these findings.
…this highlights the importance of not being swayed by one particular study, even if it's published in the top scientific journals, because even editors and peer reviewers can make mistakes.
…the solutions to misinformation are all within ourselves.

Plastic pollution is a global crisis, but its impacts are often invisible to those of us in the West.
In this episode of Conversations on Climate, host Chris Caldwell talks to Richmond Kennedy Quarco, a graduate of ocean science, merchant naval officer, and passionate activist for the ocean in Ghana.
Richmond shares his journey of how he set up an NGO called Plastic Punch in 2018 to tackle the plastic pollution crisis. He started locally by recruiting local communities to become cleanup teams, scientists, and political voices. Tune in to learn about the reality of plastic pollution in West Africa, the actions being taken by local people, and how we can all do better in the West than just recycling. This is a voice worth listening to.
Don't miss out on another inspiring conversation on climate - Fighting Plastic Pollution in Ghana with Richmond Kennedy Quarco
"It is very sad situation in Ghana because the plastic revolution just came less than 20 years ago. So 20 years ago, if you walked the beaches or coastlines of Ghana, it was as beautiful…but then the material came to us…all because of this convenience that the single use plastics comes with."
"…and  it is really, really, devastating seeing communities lose their livelihoods, seeing all this marine life wash ashore. and also the loss to tourism. Ghana's third biggest earner... so yes, we are really, really, really are at a tipping point over here in Ghana..."
"I believe and think we should really involve the community in these issues and the solution finding process…Without involving the communities, really, we can never create a solution…"
"Let the people understand the power that they have…We have the purchasing power. If you do not buy these products, they will stop manufacturing them….And I, I really believe the movement is growing."

Join Chris Caldwell for another episode of Conversations on Climate podcast as he speaks with Anita Soina, a 24-year-old Masai woman and environmental activist from Kenya.
Anita is a proud member of the Massai community, which is heavily affected by climate change, particularly droughts and floods. Despite these challenges, Anita has become a champion for the environment, using her social media platforms to raise awareness and inspire action.
In this conversation, Anita shares her journey as an activist and her work as an ambassador for the Green Vision Summit. She also discusses the importance of involving young people in the fight against climate change and explains why she ran for parliament at the age of 22.
Anita highlights the interconnectedness of social issues, such as poverty, gender inequality, and water scarcity, with climate change and explains how her foundation is addressing these challenges in a holistic way. Drawing from her indigenous African philosophy, Anita emphasises the importance of community involvement in climate solutions and the need for Westerners to learn from the wisdom and practices of indigenous communities. She also shares her experiences attending COP and her thoughts on the challenges and opportunities of international climate negotiations. 
" we need to pass the message back home, we will need the young people, the educated young people, the informed young people to be able to pass the message and to be, great, teachers when it comes to climate issues…"
"And that is what it taught me: to learn that when you go to communities, you don't just teach, you also listen. So it's good that they are also involved in what is meant for them because they can they can also be part of the solution. And to learn that the communities like this … on the receiving end of the worst impacts of climate change, do not stop at being victims.
They don't just end up being victims. They are also champions and on the forefront in trying to provide solutions in their own ways."
This inspiring conversation covers a wide range of topics, from the impacts of climate change on the Masai community to the importance of intersectional approaches to environmental activism. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from one of Africa's most exciting young leaders.
