Climate: The Need for New Public Power and a Comms Re-Boot 19 MIN PODCAST | Click here to watch full episode https://lnkd.in/g-5k9-th ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Rachel Kyte, a global authority on climate finance and the energy transition, offers compelling arguments to re-mobilise and reboot our approach to climate change. As public anxiety about climate realities deepens, Kyte highlights the urgent need for new communications and a fresh narrative. Governments and corporations must move beyond prevarication and scale up green investments. "The key challenge is how governments talk to their citizens," Kyte tells the TTU podcast. Kyte calls for reframing fear-mongering and discontent into hope. Cleaner air, healthier communities, and a secure planetary future depend on this shift. The good news? "People want to know what to do." New initiatives for innovative democratic engagement can inspire and mobilise everyone, particularly governments and businesses. Honesty, simplicity, and achievable goals like improving energy efficiency in buildings are essential. Finally, Kyte stresses the importance of building a broad coalition for action that can weather political changes. Climate action must not be a fashionable issue for the elite. "We can't let climate become a wedge," Kyte warns. Everyone must be on board—and fast. 19 MIN PODCAST | Click here to watch full episode https://lnkd.in/g-5k9-th ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── #ClimateChange #Sustainability #ClimateAction #PublicEngagement #GreenMovemen #ClimateLeadership #GreenEconomy #ClimateSolutions #NetZero #EnvironmentalProtection #RenewableEnergy #CarbonNeutral #GlobalWarming #ClimateCrisis #ActOnClimate #ClimateResilience #Rachel Kyte #TTU #ThinkingtheUnthinkable

🌍 Yes, national #climate plans are a global imperative 🌍 When executed effectively, national climate plans have the potential to drive transformative change on a global scale. However, if not carefully implemented, they can result in severe negative consequences, impacting global #Trade, #SupplyChains, #TransboundaryEcosystems (including shared #Water systems), #Energy, and #FoodSecurity. It is crucial for countries to thoroughly assess the potential adverse impacts of their #ClimateResponse measures. National plans must ensure that #ClimateActions do not inadvertently transfer #risks to other nations and must also account for risks arising from the actions or inactions of other countries. Given the complexity of these challenges, substantial technical support is essential. While research in this area is expanding, it is neither progressing rapidly enough nor covering all the critical areas to meet the urgent needs. Let’s all work together to ensure that our climate strategies are both effective and #equitable. 🌱 #ClimateChange #Sustainability #GlobalImpact #Research #TransboundaryRisks
Ambitious national climate plans have a massive potential to unlock economic growth, better health, more jobs and development. If done well: ✅ covering ambitious emission reduction targets for all greenhouse gases ✅ covering all sectors of the economy ✅ underpinned by reliable policies, regulations and finance to ensure implementation these plans are powerful blueprints for stronger economies and societies.

Why small business should take big climate action.
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

Q&A in The New York Times on unsatisfying consumerism, not eating octopuses 🐙, anger and hope, political polarization, possible climate futures, and how the answer is community. Also, I turn the tables and interview the interviewer about his “soft climate denial.” And, of course, talk about my fave big question: What if we get it right? 🤔 In print in today in the Sunday magazine, and yesterday on The Daily podcast. (The audio version is better—spicier and more heart and jokes!) Give it a read/listen and let me know what you think! 🤓 Many thanks to the team who got me through this photoshoot — wayyyyy out of my comfort zone! 🫣 I’ve been nervous for a full month about doing press this big, and how it would come off.

Ayana Elizabeth Johnson is my favourite climate scientist and a great storyteller. Down to Earth, gentle but direct, not hopeful but still imagining good futures for our planet. Every time I listen to her I learn a bit more about how to navigate the whole spectrum of emotions that come with realising the stark climate reality we face. Listen to this 30 min episode if you need a bit of grounding to start your week. #ClimateChange #Inspiration #Podcast

LOVE "This is the No. 1 thing that drives people to do something about climate change — love for the future. It really does come down to love as an enormously powerful motivator." This is a really fabulous interview with honest, simple, and actionable takeaways. I've long admired Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and her communication style, as well as her advocacy work. TL;DR key takeaways 🤝 Community is key! ↪ We have to act beyond ourselves and our own kids. 🤬 🤯 😻 Whatever emotion that motivates you to act - anger, love, hope - is an appropriate emotion. ↪ Lean into it, work with it, and let it fuel you. Climate action is a group project and a team effort. It doesn't matter why you act, so long as you do. I have to agree that it really does come down to ❤️ - love for ourselves, and love for the young ones in our lives, in hopes of creating a better future for everyone.
