Episode 9: In this episode, we explore the Green New Deal movement for a just transition and what it could mean for you. 

The midterm elections in the United States brought a new kind of politician to Washington. Young people from all walks of life who are determined to use the transition to clean energy as a means to secure a better life for all. 
 
They’re calling it the Green New Deal. 
 
What does this emerging movement look like north of the border, and how can we tap it to get politicians onside as champions for more ambitious climate action? How is job security a central piece of this puzzle? In this episode we explore this movement for a just transition and what it could mean for you.

We’re entering a brave new world with the transition to clean energy—one of challenge and opportunity. Few places is this more visible than in the world of transportation. While some people see the future as being primarily about electric vehicles, others are questioning our whole approach to getting around.

Riding into the Future (Season 2, Ep. 8)

<description>&lt;p&gt;Episode 7 invites us to rethink our approach to land as we transition to clean energy.&lt;/p&gt;

Episode 7 invites us to rethink our approach to land as we transition to clean energy.

When colonizers first set foot on this land, their goal was to claim as much of it as possible for themselves. They paid no attention to the fact that Indigenous peoples here had their own governing structures and laws already in place. To the early settlers and explorers, land equaled money and power. To this day, some of us still view the value of land simply in terms of the money it can generate, whether that’s from logging the trees, mining for gold, digging up oil and gas or developing real estate. 
 
But now we’re confronting the harsh impacts this approach has had for climate change and for Indigenous peoples. So what can we do differently? How can we avoid repeating the mistakes of the past? 
 
This episode invites us to rethink our approach, and explore what we can learn from Indigenous law about being more respectful of the land as we transition to clean energy.

Rethinking Land (Season 2, Ep. 7)

<description>&lt;p&gt;In Episode 6: We follow the money to see who owns energy, who profits, and who’s at risk of being left out in the cold.&lt;/p&gt;

In Episode 6: We follow the money to see who owns renewable energy, who profits, and who’s at risk of being left out in the cold.

If there’s one thing we can all agree on about oil and gas, it’s that there’s big money in it. Governments invest big money, corporations make big money—and they stand to lose big money as solar and wind rise rapidly. And they spend big money to control the narrative about Canada’s energy and economic future. 
 
Mission Transition breaks down where your tax dollars are being invested, who owns energy, who profits, and who’s at risk of being left out in the cold.

Follow the Money (Season 2, Ep. 6)

<description>&lt;p&gt;In Episode 5: Who pays when it comes to climate change?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The post &lt;a href="https://sierraclub.bc.ca/podcast-bearing-the-burden/"&gt;Bearing the Burden (Season 2, Ep. 5)&lt;/a&gt; appeared first on &lt;a href="https://sierraclub.bc.ca"&gt;Sierra Club BC&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

In Episode 5: Who pays when it comes to climate change?

Over the past few decades, oil and gas companies have fueled and financed the pumping of billions of tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere. They’ve cashed in, but who bears the cost now? Who’s responsible when thousands lose their homes to climate change fueled fires and floods? Who pays when crops fail in droughts? Who’s on the hook when house values plummet in hurricane zones? We're being told it’s up to us as individuals to be responsible for the shift to a climate-friendly world, but is this really fair?  
 
In this episode, we explore who bears the burden of responsibility for this transition.  
 
To find out, we speak with Catherine Gauthier of ENvironnement JEUnesse about their class action lawsuit against Canada over climate inaction. We hear from the Mayor of Victoria, Lisa Helps, about the burden on municipalities. And we talk to Anjali Appadurai formerly of West Coast Environmental Law about who’s really responsible, and how personal guilt is not going to help move us forward.
