HOPE SPRINGS, a Resurgence podcast with Annabel Heseltine - Episode 2: Christiana Figueres is OUT NOW > https://lnkd.in/egJX5nvx Costa Rican diplomat Christiana Figueres is widely recognized as the driving force behind the UNFCCC UN 2015 Paris Agreement, where 196 countries pledged to keep climate warming levels below 2°C. What is less known is that during this pivotal moment, she was grappling with deep personal trauma, including the emotional toll of a marriage breakdown. In the midst of this struggle, she found solace and strength in the teachings of Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, whose wisdom, she credits, helped her navigate the intense negotiations that led to the landmark climate accord. Figueres, a veteran of every COP, has dedicated her life to driving global change. She co-founded Global Optimism with Tom Rivett-Carnac, champions young climate activists, and serves as co-host of The Earthshot Prize as well as the popular podcast Outrage + Optimism. In her book, The Future We Choose: A Stubborn Optimist's Guide to the Climate Crisis, she lays out two possible futures: one in which humanity achieves net-zero emissions by 2050, and another shaped by devastating inaction! #HopeSprings #AnnabelHeseltine #ResurgenceTrust #Podcast #ChristianaFigueres #Climate #Hope #ParisAgreement #Environment #Nature #TheFutureWeChoose Bonnier Books UK

If you haven’t heard of it before, Re: is Currie’s podcast which aims to reframe, reimagine and realign popular opinion. As a small professional services business, Currie has a relatively small carbon footprint. But does that mean businesses like us shouldn't take meaningful climate action?   Our near-term and net zero emission reduction targets were recently validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. We're one of just six businesses in Australia to have achieved this.   So, why bother? Listen to Ryan Ong (CEO), Mark Paterson (Partner, Principal), and Lilith Palmer (Senior Consultant) answer this question in this episode of Re: at the link below. https://lnkd.in/gYbNTnki #SBTi #netzero

Why small business should take big climate action.

Innovation. Resilience. Joy. These concepts are not always top of mind when we think about the climate crisis. Is that a problem? In the latest Seed Field Podcast episode, the scholar and activist Abigail Abrash Walton explains that taking action like this can be an antidote to despair. In fact, this kind of small, local action might be the only thing that will help us break our dependence on fossil fuels and build a more sustainable and just future. https://lnkd.in/gUM9J2ek

In times of great challenges, it’s important to focus on what is really important. For us, that is acting responsibly and sustainably and doing our part to protect our planet. For this, Alexander Gege and his colleagues from our Corporate Responsibility team accomplished a real milestone in 2023 – our ambitious climate goals have been SBTi-validated and are in line with the Paris climate agreement.
