A season-long special of the podcast interviewing #ClimateAmbassadors up and down the country! Why did they become Ambassadors? How can they help communities and education settings to take climate action?

Joining Kit Marie for this episode is Professor Andrew Charlton-Perez, co-lead of the Climate Ambassadors Scheme and Head of the School of Mathematical, Physical and Computational Sciences at the University of Reading. Andrew shares his journey from growing up on a strawberry farm in Wisbech to becoming a leading voice in climate science and education.

They explore the power of collaboration, the importance of empowering schools and educators, and how the Climate Ambassadors scheme is helping to drive meaningful, community-led climate action. Andrew also reflects on the joy of weather nerdiness, the value of humility in leadership, and why this project is one of the most fulfilling of his career.

Coffee & Geography 5x19 Andrew Charlton-Perez (Climate Ambassadors National Co-Lead)

European wines enjoy a reputation for excellence throughout the world and provide 2.9 million jobs in the European Union. But in many regions, wine is much more than its market value - it's a heritage, the backbone of local identity. But now, with consumption at an all-time low, production costs soaring and the threat - sometimes existential - of climate change, the wine industry has its back up against the wall: to overcome the crisis, it is going to have to adapt. This is the theme of the 56th episode of our Food for Europe podcast.

The situation is complex, which is why the European Commission's response consists of a multitude of measures and aids that can be modulated according to the regional and national situation of the vineyard concerned.

We talk to Simone Loose, professor of business economics in the wine and drinks sector at the University of Geisenheim in Germany; Valentine Picant, co-owner and manager of Château Hostens-Picant, east of Bordeaux; Luca Rigotti, chairman of Copa-Cogeca's ‘Wine’ working group; and Lavinia Stan, market analyst in the wine sector at the European Commission's Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development.

Tharis are a resilient people. They have survived a harsh weather and a hard terrain for centuries. With the advent of coal development around their villages, however, they are facing a new menace: ever-rising health hazards. 

This episode of Kacheri documents how women, children and older people in village after village are suffering from respiratory and skin diseases they never knew before. Cancer cases are also being reported from many villages even though local people were unfamiliar with it until recently. This, they allege, is happening to them because coal has contaminated their water and poisoned their air.

Kacheri (EP-04): Coal creates a burden of disease that no one is talking about

People of Thar revere their home soil as Mother Earth that generates and nourishes life in all its forms. In at least one local village, Khario Ghulam Shah, this deep-rooted reverence is facing a serious test. The villagers here complain that huge slices of mud slide down to their farms, backyards and livestock pens every monsoon from the high walls that buttress a nearby coal mine. They allege that these walls have been built in such a way that they block rainwater from seeping back into the mine and instead force it flow to the village in torrents carrying huge amounts of mud along with them.
 
This episode of Kacheri reveals how helpless the villagers feel while facing this destructive force of their otherwise beloved soil.

#38 The UK's £22 Billion Carbon Capture Gamble!

Hello,

My online activities re our worldly concerns, unfortunately I have to put them on hold until if ever the scenario that's stopped me in my tracks out here in my little world is resolved! This is not the outcome I's looking for, I'd actually planned on being a lot more proactive re the online side of things "this year"!

Unfortunately it's a in most parts anyway beyond my control sort of scenario so there's very little I can do about it, that's not to say I'm not gonna at-least try to do something about it but the as such obstacles do seem to be mounting. Life, it is what it is but I am spewing re the online side of things! From my perspective it was a one off sort of scenario re the year I had planned re why I'm online!

Regards Dion,

Peace to you and all "including all future loved ones as yet to come  👉🌍✌️👈

11: Painting a Problem

Professor Erik Angner of Stockholm University offers profound insights in his book “How Economics Can Save the World: Simple Ideas to Solve Our Biggest Problems,” presenting practical economic thinking as a tool to address today’s most pressing global challenges.

Our world faces unprecedented challenges - from climate change and inequality to hunger and the lasting impacts of a global pandemic. These crises have made our lives more uncertain and our societies more divided. But what if economics could help? 

In How Economics Can Save the World, Professor Erik Angner argues that economics is not just about markets, money, or the wealthy elite. It’s a powerful framework for understanding the world around us - and for designing practical solutions to real-world problems. Whether it’s parenting or public policy, organ donation or housing, economics provides tools that can improve decision-making, promote fairness, and enhance wellbeing. With a rich blend of optimism and real-life stories, Angner reveals how economists think - and how that thinking can help us build a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future. This is an episode that reclaims economics as a force for good - and invites readers to see it as a guide for making life better for everyone.

Dr. Angner is the author of Hayek and Natural Law and the widely used textbook A Course in Behavioral Economics (3rd edition, 2021). His scholarly work spans behavioral and experimental economics, the economics of happiness, and the philosophical foundations of economic theory. His widely acclaimed book, How Economics Can Save the World (Penguin, 2023), brings economic thinking to bear on today’s most urgent global challenges.

Dr. Erik Angner’s interdisciplinary expertise bridges economics and philosophy. He holds dual PhDs in Economics and in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Pittsburgh, a path shaped, as he puts it, by 'serious mission creep.'
