    Drinking Water and the Complexity of Sustainability

    Water is simple to drink, but complex to understand. Water is essential to life, yet 2 billion people lack reliable access to clean drinking water. At the same time, millions of tons of plastic waste come from single-use bottles each year. So what actually makes water “sustainable”? Environmental scientist and water sommelier Dr. Elena Berg uses drinking water as a case study to unpack the complexity of sustainability from water sources and mineral content to local infrastructure, plastic use, and global inequality. Learn why not all water is the same, how small-scale “water farmers” approach stewardship, and why simple good vs bad narratives can be misleading. A deeper look at sustainability, environmental decision-making, and the hidden systems behind everyday choices.

    What does Climate Justice Even Mean?

    Climate justice explained: beyond emissions and policy. What does climate justice actually mean—and why is it so hard to define? This episode of Green Frequency breaks down climate justice as both a political and ethical challenge, not just an environmental one. Political scientist Dr. Rebecca Marwege explores how climate change reflects global inequalities, from coastal communities in Senegal to post-disaster recovery in New York. The conversation highlights why reducing emissions alone isn’t enough, and how adaptation, access to resources, and decision-making power shape real-world outcomes. Learn why interdisciplinary approaches, bringing together science, policy, and lived experience, are essential, and what can go wrong when they’re ignored. A clear, accessible introduction to climate justice, sustainability, and global climate policy.

    Climate Change | Where Are We Now?

    Where does climate change stand in 2026? In this first episode of Green Frequency, we take a grounded look at the state of climate change today. Where progress is being made, where challenges remain, and what the data actually tells us. Featuring a conversation with climate scientist Dr. Claudio Piani and student activist Averie Gannon, this episode explores global emissions trends, the future of the Paris Agreement, and why every fraction of a degree of warming still matters. The discussion moves beyond extremes to offer a more nuanced perspective on climate science, public understanding, and the role of individual and collective action. Green Frequency is an Earth Radio Show that brings together environmental research, frontline stories, and global decision-making. Across this series, we hear from scientists, advocates, and communities around the world to better understand the systems shaping our planet and what it takes to respond to them. This is the beginning of Season 1, The Work Ongoing, a series focused on understanding where we are now and how we move forward.
