1 OCT 2024 · Civil society organisations, particularly climate and environmental groups, play a critical role in addressing climate change and benefiting society. However, like all organisations, they also leave an ecological footprint.
In this episode, we talk with Mattias Söderberg, Global Climate Lead at DanChurchAid, and explore their groundbreaking initiative to calculate their historical climate footprint and take responsibility for their greenhouse gas emissions over the past 100 years of operations. We hear about the motivations behind this effort, the challenges encountered, and the key findings. We also delve into the broader role of civil society in addressing the climate crisis and the importance of “walking the talk” when advocating for climate action.
DanChurchAid is a Danish humanitarian non-governmental organisation that has existed for more than 100 years and aims to strengthen the world’s poorest people in their struggle for a life in dignity.

5 APR 2024 · How does the climate crisis relate to gender inequalities? Why should we apply a gender lens when it comes to climate policy?
In this episode, we explore the intersection of gender and the climate crisis, and the need to put gender justice at the heart of climate justice. Women and girls are disproportionately affected by extreme weather events and other climate impacts, especially those in vulnerable communities in the Global South. When the climate crisis hits a community, women and girls struggle the most to access food, water, energy, health, services, education, and livelihood.
In this episode, we hear from Elisabeth in southeastern Kenya, who shares her firsthand experience with the consequences of the climate crisis and we speak with Agnes Schim van der Loeff, climate and justice policy advisor at ActionAid, about the issues, causes, and possible just solutions.
ActionAid is a global federation working towards a just, fair, and sustainable world in which everybody enjoys the right to a life of dignity and freedom from poverty and oppression.

6 MAR 2024 · In this episode, we explore the intricacies of the European Green Deal, a sweeping strategy introduced by the EU in 2019 to confront the ecological crisis head-on. Pledged to enhance citizen well-being, promote clean energy, and safeguard biodiversity, the Green Deal sets ambitious goals to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality by 2050. However, amidst accolades dubbing it Europe's 'man on the moon' moment, criticisms abound, questioning its ability to instigate true systemic change.
Join us as we dissect the Green Deal's key elements, evaluate its progress, and probe whether it's fulfilling its transformative potential. Our guest, Martijn Pakker from the Institute for European Environmental Policy, provides invaluable insights into the Green Deal's impact and identifies areas warranting improvement.

27 SEP 2023 · We are back with a second season! As we continue to keep our fingers on the pulse of the energy transition, this episode shines a spotlight on a pivotal aspect of the transition process: the implementation itself. With the EU's 'Fit for 55' package setting climate and energy targets for Member States, we turn our attention to how EU member states plan to realise these goals through their National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs).
These plans offer a unique opportunity to align policies with Paris Agreement objectives, requiring Member States to go beyond EU targets. We also explore the potential for citizen involvement, which can infuse democratic principles into climate action. Join us as we dive deep into NECPs, their role in shaping climate action in Europe, and hear from Ana Márquez, a climate and energy officer from SEO/BirdLife, focusing on the case of Spain.
SEO/BirdLife, based in Spain, is a leading environmental organization dedicated to conserving birds and their habitats. Through research, advocacy, and community engagement, they work to protect biodiversity and combat climate change.
