Climate Curious

“There are no better messengers than artists” says climate campaigner, advisor, and author, Tori Tsui, as she unpicks the relationship between music and climate on the Climate Curious podcast. In conversation with Climate Curious co-hosts Ben Hurst and Maryam Pasha, Tori shares how some of the biggest artists like Massive Attack, Brain Eno, and Coldplay are using their platform for good, and how the “teeth” of the Fossil Fuel Treaty can support musicians and artists to step into climate action. From unashamed “eco-kid” to science nerd and now climate advisor, we get to know the ‘It’s Not Just You’ author on another level. Plus, find out why Ben Hurst is “p*ssed”!Follow Tori Tsui: https://www.instagram.com/toritsui_/?hl=en Read Tori’s book, ‘It’s Not Just You’: https://www.waterstones.com/book/its-not-just-you/tori-tsui/9781398508750 Join the Climate Curious conversation on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/climatecuriouspod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@climatecuriouspod YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtF6xzNkVIczlDmVcH8FCMA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/10996041/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TEDxLondon Website: https://tedxlondon.com/podcast/ All other links: https://linktr.ee/climatecuriouspod Created by TEDxLondonExecutive produced by Josie ColterProduced by Ben BeheshtyCurated by Deesha ChandraHosted by Maryam Pasha and Ben HurstCommunications by Tara Cooper and Issey Gladston Hosted on Acast.

"It sounds totally preposterous now – excluding the climate impact of burning oil," says Tessa Khan, environmental lawyer, campaigner, and founder of Uplift. Live on stage at Climate Curious Live in London, Tessa breaks down the legal strategy behind taking the previous UK government to court over its approval of the Rosebank oil field, and how they won! She unpacks the loopholes Big Oil has long relied on, the far-reaching implications of the UK Supreme Court's landmark ruling for climate policy, and why the billionaire-funded lobbying machine is finally starting to slip. Recorded in conversation with Climate Curious co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst.Enjoyed this conversation?

“I feel upbeat about what's possible," says Tessa Khan, environmental lawyer, campaigner, and founder of Uplift. In this live episode, Tessa joins co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst for a stocktake of the UK's most epic climate victories: ending new oil and gas exploration, shutting down the last coal-fired power plant, and becoming the only major economy to cut greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 50% in 30 years. There's a lot to celebrate – and a lot still to fight for! Plus: how climate messaging can appeal to the populist right.

“We should be as optimistic as they [Big Oil] are,” says economist, diplomat, key architect of the Paris Agreement, and climate heavy-hitter Laurence Tubiana. Having spent decades navigating the political domain of global climate policy, in this Climate Curious short she dives into why the current “down cycle” of climate action is reflective of fear in the fossil fuel industry and should be viewed with optimism; as well as how the secret to resilience is in listening to the people around you. Finally Laurence shares how the “golden moment” for fossil fuels is coming to an end, and how we can reclaim control over our own future.
