    We know a lot about the crisis. We know that it is time to progress from understanding the problems to solving them. However, we also know that there is no perfect solution. It is a matter of shifting understanding and knowledge from science to society, from data to stories, from facts to solutions. This episode is where Earth sciences meet journalism to address overarching solutions that already exist, ones that need global and local consensus, and those that are built ground up by local communities. With Kate Marvel (Project Drawdown), Fara Warner (Solution Journalism Network), and investigative journalist Jelena Prtorić.

  • How much is it? The cost of climate change - Ep. 08

    How much is it? The cost of climate change - Ep. 08
    Mar 29 2023
    Money moves the attention of people, investors, and capital owners. Money is part of many solutions to the climate deadlock. But numbers are not enough to calculate the economic value of the climate issue. Numbers are only the final step on a road that passes through many crossroads: climate change has huge economic, social and cultural costs. Assessing these costs is challenging yet vital for our planet's future. And when it comes to climate policies, responding to different climate emergencies requires different lenses.

    In this episode, we dive into the world of climate finance through the voices of two experts working in two different fields of economics in two different parts of the globe. Johannes Emmerling is a German economist based in Italy and a senior scientist at the European Institute on Economics and the Environment and at the Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change. His research focuses on climate change and energy economics, risk and uncertainty, welfare economics and development. Marc Watum is a development expert from South Africa with a management consulting and project finance background. He is the chairman of Vision 2030 Fund, an African social innovation fund for agriculture, food, and water startups. With them, we explore the cost of climate change and the possible solutions.

    The Urgenda case was the game changer. It opened up a new dialogue between human rights law and climate science, while it marked a watershed moment for climate justice: from then on, we saw new measures to protect people from the harms posed by climate change. We start from there with the voices of those who experienced the Urgenda case on the front line.
    We tell the story of climate litigation and why it is a crucial aspect of the future planet.

    We explore how scientific information can inform climate justice through the voices of a scientist and a lawyer: Delta Merner, Lead Scientist of the Science Hub for Climate Litigation at the Union of Concerned Scientists, and Lucy Maxwell, human rights and climate change lawyer and co-director of the Climate Litigation Network within the Urgenda Foundation. Each from their specific perspective, they share the common goal of making climate justice a reality worldwide. And they believe that, in the future, climate litigation will be successful when we don't need it anymore.
