    Imagining a world worth building

    What if the biggest barrier to climate action isn’t a lack of technology or money, but a lack of imagination?   We are often told our current economic and social systems are inevitable, even though they could operate better. But history shows that major transformations, from universal healthcare to the end of child labour, only happened because people dared to imagine a completely different reality first.   Listen to explore why our climate conversations are so often limited to preventing catastrophe rather than envisaging a fair and sustainable future. Drawing on insights from visionary thinkers like Rob Hopkins, Amitav Ghosh, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Kate Raworth, we break down what intersectional climate justice actually looks and feels like in practice.   This discussion dives into the magic and beauty of imagination, and leaves listeners empowered with the tools to imagine boldly and transform their imaginations into reality.   Key Sources Designing the Doughnut: A Story of Five Cities by Doughnut Economics Action Lab (linked here) From What Is to What If: Unleashing the Power of Imagination to Create the Future We Want by Rob Hopkins (10 July 2020) (linked here) How to Fall in Love with the Future: A Time Travellers Guide to Changing the World by Rob Hopkins (17 June 2025) (linked here) Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality, Identity Politics, and Violence against Women of Color by Kimberlé Crenshaw for Stanford Law Review (1991) (linked here) Planetary Boundaries: The Safe Operating Space for Humanity by the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University (linked here) The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable by Amitav Gosh (12 July 2016)  (linked here) This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs the Climate by Naomi Klein (September 2014) (linked here)   Our Green Mosaic showcases a vibrant mosaic of solutions for bold climate action that tackles systemic oppression and inequality at the root. Together, we can raise awareness of intersectional climate justice and transform that awareness into positive climate action. Because if climate action isn't intersectional, it is incomplete at best and harmful at worst.

    When climate justice meets climate science in court

    How do we fight for climate justice in court? Turns out, a lot of that depends on the science that connects extreme weather events to climate change.   This episode explores climate attribution science, how it is used in the courtroom and why this matters to achieving climate justice, using examples from around the world and backed by evidence from the reliable sources linked below.   Listen to better understand the science behind studies which prove some extreme weather events were made worse by climate change, the degree to which natural disasters can be traced to specific emitters and how all this can be used to finance loss and damage.   All this matters because it helps us understand how climate change contributes to specific harms, who bears responsibility and what can be done to provide justice for the people affected.   Key Sources Bhotekoshi-Trishuli Flood Update (From August 26, 2026 to October 3, 2026) by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority of Nepal (linked here) Carbon Majors: 2024 Data Update by Carbon Majors (January 2026) (linked here) Carbon Majors: Quantifying Corporate Climate Liability - How attribution science is enabling courts and legislators to assign financial responsibility for climate damages by Carbon Majors (October 2026) (linked here) Climate Attribution Database by Climate Attribution (linked here) Decades of Deceit: The Case Against Major Fossil Fuel Companies for Climate Fraud and Damages by Delta Merner, Kathy Mulvey, Laura Peterson and Seth Shulman for the Union of Concerned Scientists (14 May 2025) (linked here) More than 2,700 excess deaths estimated in England and Wales during May and June heatwaves by MET Office (13 July 2026) (linked here) Rapid Warming in the Himalaya Exacerbates Geohazard Cascades Beyond Adaptation Limits by World Weather Attribution (17 September 2026) (linked here) Suncor Energy Inc. v.

    Big Oil puts everyone at risk

    Big Oil puts people and planet at risk.   This episode explores the climate justice dimensions of the fossil fuel industry. It asks who produces fossil fuels, who profits from them, who has the power to shape the rules, who bears the risks and who is left to deal with the consequences.   In answering this question, this episode dives into the importance of energy security, fossil fuel subsidies, fuel poverty, loss and damage, environmental racism, colonialism and what a just transition away from fossil fuels could look like.   All this matters because a fair, sustainable future can't be realised while an industry that puts everyone at risk keeps operating as usual.   Key Sources Assessing ExxonMobil’s global warming projections by Geoffrey Supran, Naomi Oreskes, and Stefan Rahmstorf for Science (13 January 2023) (linked here) ‘Cancer Alley’ Residents Win Petrochemical Suit Appeal: Opportunity for Justice by Richard Pearshouse for Human Rights Watch (2 June 2025) (linked here) Community Energy England (linked here) Daily Chart: top 10 companies responsible for 40% of historic emissions by Polly Bindman for Energy Monitor (4 April 2024) (linked here) Environmental racism in Louisiana’s ‘Cancer Alley’, must end, say UN human rights experts by the United Nations (2 March 2021) (linked here) Honoring Dr. Robert Bullard, the Father of Environmental Justice by Straughan Environmental (26 February 2024) (linked here) IPCC Sixth Assessment Report: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability; Summary for Policymakers Headline Statements by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (28 February 2022) (linked here) Rich polluter profits tax could raise up to $400 billion and help phase out fossil fuels by Ashfaq Khalfan for Oxfam (19 June 2025) (linked here) The Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative (linked here)   Our Green Mosaic showcases a vibrant mosaic of solutions for bold climate action that tackles systemic oppression and inequality at the root.

    Net zero's blind spots

    We can’t fix the climate crisis without taking an honest look at net zero.   This episode dives into the blind spots of the popular net zero climate strategy and how this approach is both necessary and incomplete. It provides an overview of net zero, explains how offsets typically work in practice and uses examples from around the world to highlight the complexity of offsets. While achieving net zero is essential to tackling climate change, it’s simply not enough.   Net zero can be a helpful guide, but if it’s the only component of a climate strategy, then we’re not engaging in positive climate action or promoting climate justice.   Our Green Mosaic showcases a vibrant mosaic of solutions for bold climate action that tackles systemic oppression and inequality at the root. Together, we can raise awareness of intersectional climate justice and transform that awareness into positive climate action. Because if climate action isn't intersectional, it is incomplete at best and harmful at worst.   Listen to dive into the blind spots around net zero, the limitations of this climate strategy and the questions we should be asking around it.   Key Sources Carbon Offset Deals and the Risks of "Green Grabbing" by Claire McConnell, Nyaguthii Maina and Sean Woolfrey for International Institute for Sustainable Development (2024) (linked here) CAT net zero target evaluations by Climate Action Tracker (2026) (linked here) Congo's Forests, Irregularly in European Hands by Glòria Pallarès for El País (2022) (linked here) Net Zero & Land Rights: How our climate goals drive land demand and shape people's lives by TMG Research & The Robert Bosch Stiftung Foundation (2025) (linked here) Northern Kenya Rangelands Carbon Project (linked here) NOT ZERO: How ‘net zero’ targets disguise climate inaction by climate justice organisations (2020) (linked here) Osman & 164 others (Suing on Their Behalf and Behalf of Residents of Merti Sub-County, Chari, and Cherab Wards in Isiolo County) v Northern Rangelands Trust & 8 others [2025] KEELC 99 (KLR) (linked here) UK becomes first major economy to pass net zero emissions law by the UK Government (2019) (linked here)   You can find this podcast on socials at Our Green Mosaic.   This episode is hosted by Hannah, a climate justice activist fighting for collective liberation, because climate justice is social justice.

    Understanding climate justice

    Our Green Mosaic showcases a vibrant mosaic of solutions for bold climate action that tackles systemic oppression and inequality. Together, we can raise awareness of climate justice and transform it into positive climate action.   In this episode, we talk about why climate justice has to be intersectional in order to be effective. We delve into sexism, classism, racism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia to illustrate how the climate crisis makes marginalised groups more vulnerable to its impacts, and why climate justice has to be inclusive. If climate action isn't intersectional, it is incomplete at best and harmful at worst.   Key Sources: Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde (1984), linked here.
