Outrage + Optimism, The Climate Podcast

This week we continue to explore climate leadership in this fragmented geopolitical moment. We ask what happens when multilateralism is threatened - and who or what is filling the gap? bit.ly/4jy5uiH

Who really holds power in the climate transition? In this episode we unpack how money, politics, and influence shape the pace of change - in ways often contrary to common assumptions. www.outrageandoptimism.org/episodes/pow...

With global power recalibrating towards China, this week we explore what the shift means for the future of climate leadership. With Yixian Sun, advisor to the UK government on Keir Starmer’s visit to Beijing.

Venezuela, Fossil Fuels, and the Year Ahead What will 2026 bring? Following the shocking US abduction of Venezuela’s president, we’re asking not just what kind of year lies ahead for climate action, but what kind of global order will shape it.

Totally agree: "I think renewables & EVs are the power of peace, & fossil fuels are the power of war, & we need to choose peace. Not just in the way we conduct our politics, but in the way we conduct our energy systems." ☀️ ⬇️ www.outrageandoptimism.org/episodes/ven...

The climate action that matters is in the global south, argues an architect of the Paris agreement But, writes Christiana Figueres, innovation still has to outpace climate impacts

"The oil and gas sector has underperformed the broader stockmarket for the past 15 years... it is now prioritising shareholder returns and debt reduction - and sign of structural retreat."

Inside COP: China, India… and the Text on the Table It’s the middle of week two at COP30, and the negotiations are entering their crunch phase - we ask whether the text on the page can match the momentum gathering pace in the real world.
