We are back from COP26 (aka Cop-Out 26)... in this ep, we share some reflections on the results of Glasgow Climate Pact, our first hand experiences being in Glasgow during this UN climate conference, and what we can take away for our movements and for upcoming COPs.

Hello, lovely beans!
Just before COP26 kicks off, we are bringing you this episode to explain what it is, why it is so important and what is to be expected within the UN negotiations and also outside the formal meetings.
This week we had the opportunity to hear from Farhana Yamin, who has 30 years of experience of working as a climate lawyer and having worked in many COPs. 
Check out her work @farhanaclimate on twitter, and the manifesto she wrote for COP26 here: https://www.chathamhouse.org/publications/the-world-today/2021-10/manifesto-justice-cop26-and-beyond

This week we chatted to the brilliant Tessa Khan about climate litigation, what it is and why so many people are now choosing to take climate action to the courts.
We also talked about the Paid To Pollute case that Mikaela is a claimant on - which will be going to court on December 8th 2021!
More info on paidtopollute.org.uk Tessa is an international climate lawyer who has been involved with some of the most impactful climate cases in recent years so it was an absolute pleasure to hear her insights.

In this episode we speak to Kelsey from Community Action on Prison Expansion (CAPE) about prison abolition in the UK. We hear about the different types of prisons, current expansion plans, community resistance and get a glimpse of what a society without police could be like. This conversation was so rich, thought provoking and just so far our favourite. We hope it challenges and changed you.

This week we dive deeper into what organising actually is. We explore the different roles within social movements, dismantling barriers that make activism exclusionary and the call for us all to get more involved and active.
