Send me a messageEcocide is a term that is recently starting to gain a little ground in the public's eye, but what is it, where does it come from, and just what are the chances of it becoming an internationally legislated crime?To find out more about Ecocide I invited Jojo Mehta to come on the podcast. Jojo is the Co-Founder & Executive Director, Stop Ecocide International. Stop Ecocide International is the driving force behind, and central communications hub for, the growing global movement to make ecocide an international crime.We had a fascinating conversation covering what Ecocide is, why it needs to be criminalised, and when (not if!) it will be made an international crime.This was a truly fascinating episode of the podcast and I learned loads as always, and I hope you do too.If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page, head on over to the Climate 21 Podcast Forum, or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Send me a messageSo, we've come to our final episode of 2021, but fear not, lots more excellent episodes of the Climate 21 podcast are coming your way starting January 12th next, and every Wednesday after that.In this episode, I have a favour to ask to start with. The podcast is now in the high hundreds of listeners, thank you all for that, but I'd love to get it into the thousands of listeners. Please, if you could do me one favour over the holidays, introduce a friend to this podcast. If you enjoy the podcast, and think others would too, don't be shy about telling them.

He is the director of CARES, the Singapore-Cambridge CREATE Research Centre, and Principal Investigator of C4T the “Cambridge Centre for Carbon Reduction in Chemical Technology”, which is a CARES research programme. And he leads the Computational Modelling group, known as CoMO in Cambridge.We discussed key decarbonisation strategies, the World Avatar Project, and the why's and what-for of Intelligent Decarbonisation.This was a truly fascinating episode of the podcast and I learned loads as always, and I hope you do too.If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page, head on over to the Climate 21 Podcast Forum, or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

In this instalment, due to a scheduling snafu, I was without a guest, so I took the opportunity to talk about a recent keynote talk I have delivered now a few times to phenomenal feedback - The Sustainability Imperative.In this talk I go through the roots of my passion for sustainability, the factors making action on sustainability increasingly important, progressive happening in the fields of Energy, and Transportation, and practical steps you and/or your organisation can take to reduce your emissions.Hopefully this was an interesting episode of the podcast and you learned some.

Send me a messageStanford doctoral candidate Benjamin (Ben) Franta (aka @BenFranta on Twitter) has a degree in Applied Physics from Harvard, a Law degree from Stanford, and is currently working on his Ph.D. from Stanford on the history of climate science, climate denial, and the fossil fuel industry.I came across him when I heard about his most recent paper where he and two French researchers showed how French fossil fuel company Total were aware of harmful global warming impacts since at least 1971 but instead of doing anything about it, they engaged in overt denial of climate science. This was the way fossil fuel companies decided to deal with the issue.That this was standard practice for fossil fuel companies is something I've been aware of for some time, but I decided to invite Ben to come on the podcast to talk about not just this but also the potential legal ramifications of this behaviour.This was a truly fascinating episode of the podcast and I learned loads as always, and I hope you do too.If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page, head on over to the Climate 21 Podcast Forum, or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Send me a messageI first came across the Carbon Tracker Initiative about 8-9 years ago when they posted a cool short video explaining the concept of a Carbon Budget.I follow the Carbon Tracker Initiative's Founder and Executive Chairman Mark Campanale on LinkedIn so I reached out to him to see if he'd be willing to come on the podcast to explain it. We had a fascinating conversation about what the carbon budget is, the implications of these stranded assets for pension funds and financial markets in general, COP 26, and what we hope to see come out of that, and practical steps any of us can take to move the needle on this.This was a truly fascinating episode of the podcast and I learned loads as always, and I hope you do too.If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page, head on over to the Climate 21 Podcast Forum, or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.
