I​ntroducing ​​an Intergenerational Conversation on ​​Climate Change Challenges

Welcome to the first episode of Fossil vs Future! Join hosts Daisy and James as they introduce themselves and their backgrounds in the climate movement, and discuss the importance of intergenerational dialogue as a tool for driving meaningful change in the face of climate challenges.

KEY ADVOCATES AND RESOURCES HIGHLIGHTED IN THIS EPISODE:

Daisy shared a compelling statistic from the International Energy Agency (IEA) (2022): “Children born today will emit 10 times less carbon during their lifetimes than their grandparents if the world achieves the goal of reducing global emissions to net zero by 2050.”

Read more about some of the enterprises James has contributed to that are shaping strategies for a sustainable future:

  • Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) – A nonprofit focused on environmental law.
  • Alliance of Small Islands States (AOSIS) – An intergovernmental organization representing small island nations on climate issues.
