  • Climate Quickie: The hidden beauty in climate data
    Jul 18 2024

    This week, we’re speaking to data artist, TED Senior Fellow, and founder of Translating Nature, Dr. Julie Freeman, to delve into the hidden beauty in climate data. Numbers, charts, graphs – data gets a bad rep as being dense and hard to interpret. So what if we could use art to visualise data in more appealing formats? That’s exactly what Julie set out to do with her commission for Hiscox, ‘More Than Us’; a live data-driven digital artwork that uses Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life algorithms to respond to multiple data sets including future climate catastrophe predictions and the past 100 years of climate related disasters.

  • Climate Quickie: Why climate wars go unreported
    Jul 12 2024

    Small Indigenous communities make up only five percent of the world’s population, but they defend 80 percent of the biodiversity that remains on Earth, says Anjan Sundaram. Climate Curious spoke to war reporter turned climate reporter, Anjan Sundaram, about the realities of reporting on our planet’s bloody ecological frontlines, and how corporations and cartels will stop at nothing, even taking human life, to destroy our last natural ecosystems. Recorded live at TED 2024.

  • How storytelling can honour forgotten climate conflicts
    Jul 11 2024

    Ever met a mathematician turned war reporter? Yep, neither us! Until we met Anjan Sundaram, a war reporter turned climate reporter, who joins Climate Curious at TED 2024 to share his work sharing the stories of indigenous communities defending our planet's last pristine ecosystem, particularly in Mexico. Anjan shares the dangers faced by environmental defenders, the cause of these conflicts (large-scale industrial projects, corruption, and cartels), and the urgent need for global awareness and solidarity for these forgotten climate conflicts. Sundaram also reflects on his career shift from mathematics to frontline reporting, and shares the motivations behind his work.
