Breaking the Gridlock, with Paul Risley GoodGeist

In this episode we explore the complex world of climate communication with Paul Risley, whose communications work spans American political arenas to the global stage with the UNDP.  We start our conversation touching upon Paul's early work alongside Al Gore's climate advocacy and then move onto the challenge of matching political will with economic interests to fight the climate crisis. Paul candidly reflects on the juxtaposition of oil-enriched cities like Dubai and Baku playing host to climate summits, offering a nuanced perspective on the balancing act between economic growth and environmental responsibility.

We also talk about  insights from the latest UNDP Human Development Report - Breaking the Gridlock - including thoughts around education, gender inequality, and culminating in a look at giving young people a voice through initiatives like the Weather Kids campaign.
