Welcome to another episode of Outrage + Optimism,
where we examine issues at the forefront of the climate crisis,
interview change-makers, and transform our anger into productive
dialogue about building a sustainable future.
This week, Christiana, Tom and Paul debrief on Paul’s recent mini
series and discuss the news that insurers are leaving the Net Zero
Insurance Alliance after the ESG backlash in the U.S. There is a
big week coming up, with the Bonn climate intersessionals in
preparation for the COP28 in Dubai later in the year. Finally, they
discuss the devastating news of heat waves in India and Asia, and
the fact that the World Meteorological Organization has said that
there is a 66% chance that the world will exceed the 1.5 °C
threshold in at least one of the next five years.
We introduce you to this year's Environmental Music Prize which aims to amplify the voices of artists who inspire action for climate and conservation. We feature three of the finalists; Meraki Mae, SheisArjuna and Sunfruits.
Also, don't forget we’re hosting a live Q+A session on
the 12th June with Paul, Fiona, Dylan, Tom and Christiana to cover
all those burning questions unearthed by the Lifelines vs Deadlines
mini-series. Details about how to register your place can be found
here.
Please don’t forget to let us know what you think here, and /
or by contacting us on our social media channels or via the
website.
