In October 2024, ATLANTIC FELLOWS from around the world gathered in Bogotá, COLOMBIA, for a CLIMATE ACTION CONVENING on planetary health and a just transition.  The Convening was co-hosted by Colombian human rights organisation DEJUSTICIA, whose work includes campaigning for environmental justice.  

In this podcast, we join ATLANTIC FELLOWS on the THIRD DAY of the CONVENING, which includes sessions on learning from the leadership shown by Colombia in the action against climate change.

Ep 324: Engineering as a Force for Good With Ana Tijerina Esquino

Chris Holman welcomes Phil Roos, Director, EGLE  -  at EGLE (Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy - State of Michigan, Lansing, MI.

Every year, EGLE releases an end-of-year report. Are there any milestones or initiatives you’re particularly proud of that were included in this year’s report?

Brownfield redevelopment was highlighted in the report. Could you explain what the Brownfield Redevelopment Program is and its significance for communities across Michigan?

What kind of measurable impact has the program had on Michigan&#39;s economy, environment and quality of life?

The governor recently released her FY 26 budget recommendations. How do her
recommendations support brownfield redevelopment as well as environmental sustainability and economic development?

Contaminated and abandoned sites once seen as community liabilities are now thriving hubs of economic growth and revitalization across Michigan. Since 2019, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) Brownfield Redevelopment Program has helped create 19,000 jobs, transforming 402 properties into vibrant spaces for businesses, housing and public use.

Backed by more than $160 million in investments, this program is a testament to Michigan’s leadership in responsible economic development—combining environmental stewardship with community renewal. These projects not only create jobs but also breathe new life into neighborhoods, turning challenges into opportunities for growth.

The 2024 EGLE End of Year Report highlights this success and more, highlighting the program’s transformative impact. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.michigan.gov/egle/-/media/Project/Websites/egle/Documents/Offices/Executive/Report-2024-EOY.pdf?rev=0b2bcfee775544d7a4e3b5ff44a164e5&hash=8F96B8E9929BE5C9A93383F6F2CA1D3E

“Wij willen de textielafvalberg verkleinen door simpelweg minder te kopen!”

ING Sector Banker Dirk Mulder in gesprek met Stef Traa, oprichter van Droppie. Als Droppie aan afval denkt zien zij goud. Hoe? Door jou te betalen voor ‘t afval dat je bij hen dropt, schoon en gescheiden. Dan kunnen zij er weer nieuwe grondstoffen van maken. Benieuwd hoe ze dat doen? Luister dan deze podcast.

Nigel Grier Shares 5 Tips for Building Strong Teams

[Verse 1]
Oceans whisper warnings loud
Mountains wear a toxic shroud
We cut the trees, then wonder why
The planet looks us in the eye

[Chorus]
The planet’s crying, can’t you hear?
Flooded dreams and burning years
We’re the smoke in its lungs
The fire on its tongue

[Verse 2]
Plastic tides and melting snow
Mother Earth has lost her glow
We dance on fault lines every day
Will silence make it go away?

[Bridge]
She gave us all and asked for care
We gave her poison in the air

[Chorus Repeat]

Planet Crying
