Insight and inspiration in turbulent times.
For the 100th episode of The Response Podcast, host Tom Llewellyn interviewed Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker Josh Fox about the climate crisis, human migration, and welcoming people with compassion.
For a farming community that depends on seasonal consistency, climate change creates uncertainty at every stage of production.
Rewetting and restoring wetlands, building small dams, and restoring streams create landscape-level discontinuities that interrupt how fire propagates by putting water back into the land rather than letting it run off. EcoAtivo is one organisation putting this directly into practice.
For the second time in two months, Europe has been hit by a record-breaking heatwave. The extreme conditions come on the 50th anniversary of a historic 1976 heatwave in the UK, prompting many comparisons between the two events by scientists and the media.
Fake shopping apps, anti-vaxx dating sites and business as usual through climate disasters are stark reminders of the surreal lengths we’ll go to preserve a sense of normality, and how readily corporations will profit from it.
In the TotalEnergies case, the company acknowledged that its own activities result in emissions that pose risks to the environment.
A new report further links fossil fuel emissions to extreme weather events. Now, as the links become clearer, oil and gas lobbyists are scrambling to shield the industry from a wave of lawsuits and state laws seeking to hold profiteers accountable.
As the UK emerges from an unprecedented three heatwaves, one of them a record-breaking heatstorm, with public concern rising along with temperatures, the new Prime Minister must put climate breakdown firmly on his agenda.
Recent weeks have seen a flurry of reports from public health authorities and scientists that estimate the deaths caused by Europe’s record-breaking summer heatwaves.
Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and the rest of that grim clan have launched their own invasion — of planet Earth itself. They have indeed landed on the beaches of our world, armed to the teeth, and intent on turning this planet into a heat zone.
A grounded perspective is emerging that refuses both despair and denial. It accepts that we are entering an era of converging limits, yet insists the future is not fixed and asks how we can move through this transition with dignity, relationality and mutual respect.
As storms intensify in our warming world, recovery no longer feels permanent in places at risk of disasters. Instead, it’s too often a temporary reprieve before the next disaster hits. Recognizing community disaster fatigue is an important step toward building resilient recovery systems.
