In this podcast, Beyond Zero radio talks to Katharine Wilkinson, D.Phil., Senior Writer at Project Drawdown, working to bring Drawdown to life and to the world and translating research into message. She brings with her an interdisciplinary background that cuts across sustainability, strategy, and thought leadership. Previously, Katharine was Director of Strategy at the purpose consultancy BrightHouse. She also has taught at the University of Oxford and worked for the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Boston Consulting Group. Based on her doctoral research at Oxford, Katharine published Between God & Green: How Evangelicals Are Cultivating a Middle Ground on Climate Change (OUP 2012), called “a vitally important, even subversive, story” by The Boston Globe. She holds a D.Phil. in Geography & Environment from Oxford, where she was a Rhodes Scholar, and a B.A. in Religion from Sewanee: The University of the South, where she was a Udall Scholar and valedictorian.

"Drawdown maps, measures, models, and describes the 100 most substantive solutions to global warming. For each solution, we describe its history, the carbon impact it provides, the relative cost and savings, the path to adoption, and how it works. The goal of the research that informs Drawdown is to determine if we can reverse the buildup of atmospheric carbon within thirty years. All solutions modeled are already in place, well understood, analyzed based on peer-reviewed science, and are expanding around the world.”

If you missed it last year, then you missed BZE producer Viv Langford kicking John Hewson off the phone so that Christine Milne could say hi! Anything can happen at a 3CR BZE Radiothon and sometimes does. But mainly we would just like to cover our costs for the year.

So if you've been on the show - or would like to one day - or have listened in and learned something new in the last year, then please make a pledge today before 6.

We could consider earth as a rental property. God comes down to do an inspection and he/she says ”What are all these holes in the property? Why is all my coral bleached? What have you done with all the trees? .... ?" I can tell you. You won’t get your bond back. #StopAdani Roadshow MC 

Films demand and bring out our human and emotional responses and that's no less true when the subject is the climate crisis and climate solutions.

Go ahead and ride the highs and lows of this emotional rollercoaster as this week BZE’s Vivien Langford covers just some of the highlights from the first ever Sydney screening of the 2017 Transitions Film Festival, plus an excerpt from Danny Kennedy's presentation for the recent #StopAdani Roadshow.

Featuring:

David Ritter  – David is CEO of Greenpeace Australia Pacific, introducing the Sydney screening of the Josh Cox film How To Let Go of the World - and love all the things climate change can't change. David Ritter talks about the emotional blow of seeing the Great Barrier Reef bleaching. From the poignant singer in the flooded subway after Superstorm Sandy to the man weeping after the film, but wanting to talk to us about the feelings climate change is flooding him with, this is a show with a difference.

Miriam Lyons, Blair Palese, Piers Grove – GetUp!, 350.org and Energy Lab on the panel discussing the film There Will be Water. Blair and Miriam talk about the exhilaration of being part of the change, how they stay informed, stand their ground on social license and even wax philosophical about Elon Musk and Malcolm Turnbull and what their tweets and phone calls might mean for just what chance we have of a future. Piers talks about Canberra company Reposit Power and the potential of the technology as an exciting evolution, not just a solution to a problem.

Danny Kennedy – Co-founder of Sungevity, Managing Director of the California Clean Energy Fund (CalCEF),  and #StopAdani Roadshow presenter. Danny is an Australian entrepreneur who sees so many start-ups and positive signs that you just want to get on board. Thanks Danny - BZE is all for that too!
