Can stars like Blackpink and Taylor Swift help the climate?

A K-pop girl band has just been honoured for its climate advocacy. We hear about the difference megastars can make, even if they still live high-emitting lifestyles. And – as the pressure to shop ramps up, we hear how to trick yourself into thinking your old wardrobe is awesome.

Will smoky skies spur sharper climate action in Ottawa?

As Ottawa choked on wildfire smoke, climate was left off the agenda in the House of Commons. CBC’s Aaron Wherry explains why it might seem like Canada's climate debate is stuck in the past. We meet 17-year-old Aishwarya Puttur who is fighting for the planet and debuts as our new youth columnist. Producer Molly Segal finds out how to pack a “go bag” in case wildfires force you from your home. An international project out of the University of Victoria aims to share the stories of climate disaster survivors in ways that help them heal. And a boost from the federal government for fossil fuel workers looking to go green.

And the award goes to…

Spoiler alert: the Barbie movie is not about climate change. But it passes the "climate change reality check." We hear why Good Energy developed a climate test for films and find out which two other Oscar-nominated flicks are also winners in this category. Next, a former NASA scientist tells us why a satellite launched into space to detect global methane emissions is a huge deal for the climate. And – Italy's government has just approved an ingredient that could be better for the environment, but not everyone's keen on cricket pizza. Find out how one Quebec lender's decision not to offer mortgages in some high-risk flood zones is sparking calls for Ottawa to protect homeowners in climate-vulnerable places. Finally, we look for answers to your questions about hybrid cars.

We just had the hottest year ever. But is anyone listening?

2023 has broken records, but the warnings can sound like a “broken record.” Will the hottest year in recorded history light a fire under governments to act? And, why peace is on the agenda for the first time at this year’s COP28 talks. We learn how climate disasters breed conflict that hits women the most. In Pakistan the solution lies in education for girls.

What On Earth Introduces: 10 Minutes to Save the Planet

Our brains aren’t wired to save the world. But if you’re ready to make changes that actually stick, 10 Minutes to Save the Planet will show you the way.

Sneaking climate action into your summer block party

How can you talk to your neighbours about climate change and work on solutions together? We hear about a UBC program training people across the country to do just that. And we meet a few of them as they plot to plant “plainclothes environmentalists” at their next community gathering. Then we go back in time to the oil shocks of the 1970s and 1980s for clean energy lessons that have new relevance today. And we meet a community of people making home retrofits a neighbourhood effort.

Beaches, backyards and baby salmon

Join us on a climate-solutions field trip! First, we head to the beach to find out how Indigenous knowledge and western science are working to keep clams cool in extreme heat. Next, we hear why your backyard – or patio – can be abuzz with biodiversity by simply making some simple swaps. (Spoiler alert: It’s time to weed out the dandelions.) Then, we head out to the coast of Vancouver Island and wade through estuaries to understand how scientists and First Nations are sussing out where baby salmon will want to live in a climate-changed future.

Can Earth Day be badass again?

In 1970, 20 million people showed up to fight for the environment on the first Earth Day. But more than five decades later – is it time for this much tamer global event to return to its radical roots? Organizer Denis Hayes recounts how – amidst other counterculture movements at the time – he transformed Earth Day from a campus teach-in to a national protest. As he approaches 80, Denis offers his best OG advice to the next generation of climate leaders. Then, environmental warriors Maria Blancas and Axcelle Campana share ideas on what a revamped Earth Day could look like – including making it a public holiday.

Protests, jail and hospital: one activist’s journey through climate anxiety

Driven by fear of climate change, Emily Kelsall got involved in extreme forms of activism. But the 25-year-old has come through a mental health crisis and now has a new approach to climate action. And we hear from two people who have studied the issue for a broader look at the mental health impacts of our warming planet. Then, we answer a listener’s questions about whether it’s possible to hop aboard a cargo ship for your summer vacation – and whether it’s a less carbon intensive way to travel than flying.

Updates from educators who are teaching their students how to contribute to climate solutions. News from a Canadian senator who wants to force banks to help the climate instead of hurting it. Plus: the whole What On Earth team pops into the studio to share some of 2023's biggest climate wins.
