  • Going for Green at the Paris Games

    Going for Green at the Paris Games
    Jul 26 2024
    The Summer Olympic Games are here! That means more than 300 events, ten thousand athletes and millions of spectators coming to watch. And the athletes are not the only ones with an Olympian task; the organizers of the Paris Games pledged to make their event emit only half of the carbon pollution of the 2012 London Games. In order to make that happen, they are trying to do more — by doing less. Instead of building huge new structures, they’ve renovated a number of existing venues and installed a lot of temporary structures that can be used elsewhere in the future. And that’s just one example. So what can we learn from the Paris Games that can transcend the big event and lead to broader emissions reductions? Guests: Martin Müller, Professor of Geography and Sustainability, University of Lausanne Henry Grabar, Journalist, Author of “Paved Paradise, How Parking Explains the World” Oluseyi Smith, Two-time Olympian, Renewable Energy Engineer, Founder, Racing to Zero Angel Hsu, Director, Data-Driven EnviroLab, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ☎️ Do you work outdoors, in a kitchen or a warehouse or at another workplace where you are feeling the heat?

  • What’s at Stake in November

    What’s at Stake in November
    Jul 21 2024
    This November, voters may have the rare opportunity to choose based on the records of two administrations that have each already had one turn at the helm. Regardless of who ends up at the top of the Democratic ticket, when it comes to climate in particular, a lot is at stake. As Biden’s presidency winds down, the administration has been enacting numerous climate initiatives on top of his already robust climate wins, like new guidance on permitting and a new solar program. Meanwhile, former President Trump has promised to “drill, baby, drill” on day one, and roll back as much of Biden’s landmark climate legislation as possible. This week, we take a look back at how both administrations handled climate issues, the effects of those choices and what they promise to do if given another term in the White House. Guests: Nathaniel Stinnett, Founder and Executive Director, Environmental Voter Project Emma Shortis, Senior Researcher, International & Security Affairs Program, Australia Institute; Adjunct Senior Fellow, RMIT University Coral Davenport, Energy and Environmental Policy Reporter, New York Times ☎️ Do you work outdoors, in a kitchen or a warehouse or at another workplace where you are feeling the heat?

    There are climate heroes everywhere among us, but few get the public attention they deserve. Matt Scott, director of storytelling and engagement at Project Drawdown, has been shining a light on the work of such people in cities across the country in his documentary short series “Drawdown’s Neighborhood.” In Atlanta, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, the San Francisco Bay Area and more, Scott lifts up underrepresented voices of those working directly in their communities on climate issues. This week, we feature some of those voices.

  • REWIND: Six People Who’ve Changed Jobs for Climate

    REWIND: Six People Who’ve Changed Jobs for Climate
    Jul 5 2024
    One of the most common questions people ask about climate is: what can I do? Since time is one of our most valuable resources — and we spend so much of our time at work — changing jobs may be the most effective individual climate action a person can take. Those changes could be big or small: Leaving the oil and gas industry for geothermal, or helping to bring down the emissions where you already work. The truth is, almost any job can be a climate job. But how do people actually make the transition from dirty jobs to clean? What do climate positive job transitions really entail? Guests: Caroline Dennett, Director, CLOUT Ltd Arvind Ravikumar, Co-Director, Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab, University of Texas, Austin Jennifer Anderson, Carbon Removal Geologist, Charm Industrial Emma McConville, Development Geoscience Lead at Fervo Energy Nathanael Johnson, Electrician 📞 Do you work outside, or in a kitchen, a warehouse, or other place where you’re feeling the heat?

  • Crude Awakening: Why Ecuador Voted to Stop Drilling in the Amazon

    Crude Awakening: Why Ecuador Voted to Stop Drilling in the Amazon
    Jun 28 2024
    As countries around the world become more serious about reducing carbon emissions to meet international targets, many are still approving new oil and gas projects, committing us to increased global warming. Yet an increasing number of countries are taking a stand to leave those future emissions in the ground, even at the expense of their own profits. Last year, Ecuadorians voted to halt the development of new oil wells in the Yasuní National Park in the Amazon, keeping around 726 million barrels of oil underground. Meanwhile, Costa Rica and Denmark have created the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance to facilitate the managed phase-out of oil and gas production. And a group of at least 13 countries – including many island nations – but also notable oil and gas-rich countries like Colombia – are calling for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty as a complement to the Paris Agreement. Can more nations set aside valuable profits from fossil fuel resources in favor of our collective desire for a livable climate? This episode also features a story on Yasuní National Park produced by Mateo Schimpf and reported by Kimberley Brown.

  • Climate Policy Wonk Turned Indie Pop Star: AJR’s Adam Met

    Climate Policy Wonk Turned Indie Pop Star: AJR’s Adam Met
    Jun 21 2024
    Adam Met is a behind-the-scenes climate policy powerhouse. He also happens to be the bass player in the award winning indie pop group AJR. During Met’s time away from touring the world and rocking the bass in front of thousands of fans, he and the team at Planet Reimagined, the thought and action tank Met founded, set out on a cross country listening tour in order to better understand how to create bipartisan climate policy. What they came up with is a plan to help renewable energy projects get built on land that has already been approved for fossil fuel projects, thus cutting down on the time and red tape required to get the projects up and running. Met also works with organizations like REVERB to help decarbonize the concert experience.

    Acting like a responsible adult can be challenging at the best of times. Add dealing with climate chaos to the mix, and keeping it all together can feel like an outright miracle. Let’s start by acknowledging that all does not feel fine in the world at the present moment. But living through extreme intensity isn’t a completely unique experience. Generations before us have endured existential crises of unimaginable magnitudes. So how do we navigate this period of uncertainty — regardless of our age? And what tools can we use to build resilience in the midst of what feels like a lot?

California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot oversees the state's public lands, parks, wildlife and its firefighting agency, CalFire. As part of our slate of SF Climate Week events, Secretary Crowfoot spoke with KQED Science Reporter Danielle Venton about his work leading efforts to better adapt the state to the risk of wildfires. Guests: Wade Crowfoot, California Secretary for Natural Resources Danielle Venton, Science reporter, KQED This conversation was recorded live on April 23, 2024 and supported in part by the Resources Legacy Fund.
