The Sustainability Dialogues with Xavier De Le Rue Beanie

In today’s episode, Johan Rockström and myself are talking about food, which is surely one of the biggest debates in the climate crisis, one with so many conflicting arguments of what is the right thing to do but as always Johan brings clear and manageable solutions to the table. Food industry and carbon emissions Food industry and fresh water use:National Geographic articleWater for sustainable food and agricultureEutrophicationJohan’s cookbook: World Changing CookbookEAT LANCETHow to eat sustainablyCarbon Calculator: Mossy EarthUN nations Carbon CalculatorFood wasteDeforestation for Soy bean useArticles about eating local - read past the headlines!Science DailyLocal Seasonal FoodCOOS - Regenerative & Circular Food SystemsPlanetary Health Diet PostEAT Foundation PostThanks to the Sponsors: FATMAP - Receive a 1 month EXPLORE voucher free. The North Face: Responsibility Program.Crosscall: Tough phones and Tablets, built to take a beating!and the team: Tim Burgess - Co-production & Editing.

In todays episode, Johan Rockström and myself are going to look at Transportation, this was recorded pre-corona lockdown, so I think some of our mindsets have already shifted a lot, but everything we discuss from electric cars, bio fuels, batteries, flying and carbon-offsetting remains relevant. You can find more information below - on on my website: www.xavierdelerue.com/tsdAdvancements in Battery Technology:Future Battery TechnologyEnergy Storage SolutionsElectric Vs Combustion Cars: How electric cars help to tackle climate changeElectric cars and the environmentBiofuelElectric Planes Carbon Capture StorageMossy Earth - Restoring wild ecosystems & Carbon CalculatorThanks to the Sponsors: FATMAP - Xavier's Fatmap Vallee Blanche RouteThe North Face: Responsibility Program.Crosscall: Win a CORE T4 TABLETand the team: Tim Burgess - Co-production & Editing.

In today's episode we start talking about a subject very close to my heart -  the glaciers and the poles, which leads us down so many roads; from drinking water to sea level rise, geo-political security and the ascent of right wing populism all of which is pretty overwhelming and scary, but Johan is all about finding solutions and we go on to discuss the growth of renewables through to carbon capture storage.LINKSInterglacial StateThe Holocene Mer de Glace in ChamonixThe retreat of the Mer de Glace in Chamonix. Stunning images from the air in Chamonix 100 years apart - showing the glacier change.Potsdam Institute Climate Model for the last 3 Million years The Tibetan PlateauSea Level Rise: Visual representations for sea level rise. Sea level rise articleSaltwater IntrusionThe rate of glacier melt: Nat geo article on the big thawRetreat of Glaciers since the 1850's.Populism and the Climate Crisis https://www.ft.com/content/12937a76-3d22-11ea-b232-000f4477fbcaThe connection between Arctic melt and the rise of Populism in Europe. Global Energy Review - The state of Renewables in 2020 Carbon Capture & Storage Price on Carbon Thanks to the shows sponsors.FATMAP: The Vallee Blanche RouteThe North Face: Responsibility Program.Crosscall: Tough phones and Tablets, built to take a beating!Editing & Co-Production: Tim BurgessProduction: Beanie De Le RueResearch & Support: Johannah Bernstein.

In episode two, Johan and I discuss the Climate Crisis & Covid 19 and how they are inextricably interlinked.  From the rise of zoonosis - diseases spread from animals to humans - to fossil fuels and the aviation industry, the trillion dollar bailouts earmarked for the economy, lowered emissions, cleaner air, temperature rises, eating local - it is all impacted / impacts Covid 19 & the Climate Crisis.

Please find the show notes below. In episode one of The Sustainability Dialogues I (Xavier De Le Rue) talk with Dr. Johan  Rockström who brings me up to speed on where we stand in regards to the climate crisis today, and what that means for our future and the future of the planet, before we go on to discuss extreme weather patterns and then some of the actionable steps we can take to make a difference. I hope you will feel as inspired as I do by listening to Johan.
