Imagining Tomorrow

An episode from Friends of the Earth podcast series, How to Save the Planet.
Outside of our major cities, the UK is reliant on cars to get us around. We know they're huge contributors to climate breakdown, but what are the alternatives? Could we really aim for the bike culture of Holland? Could our public transport system ever be accessible enough to challenge the car's rule?
In this episode, Muna talks to Haf, Ian and Ridhi, all of whom are working on making our approach to transport that bit greener.

Caring about the climate doesn't always mean it's easy to talk about. We know it can be a tricky conversation to have, whether with friends, family or your least favourite coworker. We're here to help, so we asked Cassie Flynn to share some wisdom.
Cassie is the Strategic Advisor on Climate for the United Nations Development Programme, and joins Muna and Fran to talk us through key lessons she's learned from a long career of having those difficult conversations.

The UK claims to be a climate leader, but the truth behind where our tax money goes tells a different story.
Muna and Louisa are joined today by Adam McGibbon, an investigator with Global Witness. We discover how our money is being used to damage our climate and destroy the communities and livelihoods of those most impacted by climate breakdown in the global south. And how we can stop it. We’ll also hear from Ilham Rawoot in Mozambique, who is part of a group fighting one of these damaging projects.

So the UN climate talks are postponed, but what really happens there anyway? And does the delay mean anything for climate breakdown?

This episode, Muna and Fran chat to Friends of the Earth's international campaigner Rachel. As a regular at the talks, she shares what really goes on there, the highs and lows of the conference, and the impact of a delay to COP 26. All whilst trying to avoid the endless acronyms.

Muna catches up with a few Friends of the Earth staff to see how they're coping and staying connected as we enter life on lockdown. We discuss how we're looking after ourselves, what social distancing means for activism, experiences with homeschooling, and of course what we're binge watching.

As we grapple with the complexities of life in a global pandemic, it's more important than ever that we find ways to stay connected and support the most vulnerable. We'll be here over the next weeks and months as the situation unfolds, keeping you up to date with how you can stay involved in your local and global community.
