Climate Courage: food, for our health and the planets

Send us Fan MailThe latest IPCC Report has arrived and with it, frustration and fury that we are at this point. Are we finally waking up to the fact that our only chance is massive action requiring “everything, everywhere, all at once” quoting the headline savvy UN secretary general, António Guterres?So, what can WE do? Well, that is what Climate Courage is all about – focusing on the actions you and I can take, and how we eat is a critical part of the drastic action needed. Recent reports state that 50 percent of the world’s population will be overweight or obese by 2035, and yet the fast-food industry continues to grow in every part of the world, contributing to this rise, but equally, it’s a massive contributor to deforestation everywhere.  We are eating ourselves to death and destroying the planet while we’re doing it. Nuts, right?But our modern agriculture and food isn’t just contributing to our ill-health and deforestation, it’s also having a massive impact on climate change, soil health, biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, water pollution and so much more. The good news is, it’s the one change WE can make that will have a massive impact. So, how can we change our habits? How can we drive wider change in our communities? And how do we make sense of all of this when the messaging is so confusing?I’m joined by four amazing ladies, who are all interested in health, diet and the planet. They are:Elika Tasker, an ambitious entrepreneur who works with executive leaders to optimise their energy through nutrition and lifestyle changes. Muriel Boutin-Becuwe, a sustainability champion, project manager and HR leader for global organisations.Rebecca Thornburn, a sustainability advocate, vegan, eternal student, and triathlete. And Jenni Thorman, a creative entrepreneur, healthy eating advocate and environment champion.It’s going to be a great conversation, covering both sides of the food discussion – health and the planet – so come and join us!#ClimateCourage #UncommonCourageYou can find me Andrea T Edwards | The Digital Conversationalist and Welcome - Uncommon Courage - An Invitation. My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar
