    CHANGEMAKERS 02 | J Smith, UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative

    This week’s CHANGEMAKER is JESSICA SMITH, Nature Lead at the UN ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME FINANCE INITIATIVE (UNEP FI), based in Geneva. As Nature Lead, Jessica is involved in pioneering work to develop collaborative partnerships between the global financial sector and indigenous and local communities. We only have until 2030 to bring our societies back into harmony with nature, and indigenous groups are vital stewards of the world's biodiversity and carbon storage. Jessica is helping design innovative financial mechanisms such as biodiversity credits, insurance products and debt for nature swaps to recognise and reward indigenous conservation efforts. JESSICA SMITH: "We are not only in a climate emergency, we're in a nature emergency which is accelerating the climate emergency."

    CHANGEMAKERS 01 | E Windemuth, WaterBear Network

    Welcome to CHANGEMAKERS with Catriona Oliphant, a new podcast series brought to you by CHROMERADIO in collaboration with the MONTHLY BAROMETER. CHANGEMAKERS was inspired by a series of conversations I had this autumn at the MONTHLY BAROMETER’s SUMMIT OF MINDS in Chamonix. What struck me was how many people were involved in exciting ventures for bringing about positive change in different aspects of our lives – in our relationship with the environment, with our fellow human beings, and in our quality of life. CHANGEMAKERS bringing rays of hope to these dark times. In this series, they tell us about their vision, their journey and the challenges along the way. In our first episode, ELLEN WINDEMUTH, founder and supervisory board chair of the WATERBEAR NETWORK, shares her journey from documentary filmmaker to launching WATERBEAR, home to award-winning impact documentaries, series, and short films and the first interactive streaming platform devoted to protecting the future of our planet. ELLEN WINDEMUTH: "We need...disruptors on WaterBear...We cannot rely on lobbies and politicians to do this all for us...This is not about our future, it's about [Gen Z's], and they have no future unless we act."

  3. GURKHA VOICES FROM THE FALKLANDS 01 | Lieutenant Nabin Siwa

    GURKHA VOICES FROM THE FALKLANDS 01 | Lieutenant Nabin Siwa

    On 2 April 1982, ARGENTINA invaded and occupied the FALKLAND ISLANDS, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic. So began the FALKLANDS WAR, which ended just over 10 weeks later, on 14 June 1982, when Argentinian forces surrendered to British troops at Stanley, the capital of the Falkland Islands. 1/7 DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S OWN GURKHA RIFLES, under BRIGADIER (then LIEUTENANT COLONEL) DAVID MORGAN, took part in the FALKLANDS CONFLICT. For the past 40 years, most of the accounts of the Gurkhas' role in that conflict have been in English. In GURKHA VOICES FROM THE FALKLANDS, we hear from Gurkha veterans in their own language, Nepali. In this podcast, we hear from LIEUTENANT NABIN SIWA, who was a rifleman with HQ Company in 1982, with an introduction from BRIGADIER DAVID MORGAN. MUSIC & LYRICS | 'It's better to die than to be a coward' - composed & performed by Khagendra Limbu, ex Sgt, 7th Duke of Edinburgh's Own Gurkha Rifles. PRODUCTION | ChromeRadio for the Gurkha Museum | Series consultants - Brigadier David Morgan, Major Padam Angbuhang Limbu MVO & Major Dil Kumar Rai | Producer - Catriona Oliphant | Post-production - Catriona Oliphant & Chris Sharp. GURKHA VOICES FROM THE FALKLANDS is part of the GURKHA MUSEUM's (https://thegurkhamuseum.co.uk/) GHARMA SUNNU series of online content, bringing you tales of bravery, service and commitment from over 200 years of Gurkha service to Britain.
