Low-lying Pacific Nation Tuvalu is not taking the prospect of going underwater lightly. In fact – they’ve already digitised their land, archived their culture, and moved their government online. The man behind the digital nation campaign and Tuvaluan politician, Simon Kofe MP, joins Climate Curious to share what Tuvalu’s resilience and wisdom teach the rest of the world, asks what happens to a country without land, and encourages us to think of ourselves as a global community, not individual nations. Watch the film and email your government: https://www.tuvalu.tv/Follow Climate Curious:NewsletterInstagramTwitterLinkedInFacebookSuggest a topic you’d like Climate Curious to coverFollow Climate Curious:NewsletterInstagramTwitterLinkedInFacebookSuggest a topic you’d like Climate Curious to coverCreated by TEDxLondonProduced by Josie ColterEdit, mix, master by Ben BeheshtyCurated by Maryam Pasha Hosted by Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst   Hosted on Acast.

Methane is an underestimated greenhouse gas produced in large part by food systems, organic waste and weirdly, cow burps.

“No-one wakes up in the morning and says it's a great day for decarbonization,” says climate marketer who’s delivered 3 billion ads on the topic, the founder and CEO of Potential Energy, John Marshall. Climate Curious co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst chat to John about how we can really make climate “pop”: from using real and regular messengers (not politicians) to talking more about “stopping the top 100 polluters” rather than “stopping climate change” (too vague and conceptual), John shares the effective strategies that will get people engaged and fired up to take action. And, he reveals the number one message that is most effective across all demographics.
