Climate Courage: the politics of climate

from Uncommon Courage · host Andrea T Edwards, Dr David Ko, Richard Busellato, Robert Redmayne Hosking

Send us Fan MailThis year, 1.5 billion people have gone to or are going to the polls, with more than 50 countries holding significant elections in 2024. Considering 2023 was the hottest year on record, and 2024 looks like it will smash that record, not to mention extreme weather events escalating across the globe, we’re going to vote for leaders who are climate aware at least, yes?Well no. Not only do we have a climate denier back in the White House, but Green Parties across the world have had terrible results in many of these elections, while right-wing political factions are working together, collaborating in private meetings. Then we have Argentina pulling its delegates out of Cop29 after three days, but at least they were there, because many important leaders didn’t even show up. So, what the hell is going on?We are absolutely thrilled to have activist Robert Redmayne Hosking joining us this week. Robert is a lifelong nature and environmental enthusiast, and a conservationist at heart.  Environmental and climate policies are his passion, and he is relentless on X, showing up with daily protests, as he works to shape the future of how leaders, governments and the media think. Robert won’t soft ball here. He tells it like it is, so get ready for an engaging and passionate conversation. The politics of climate is a critical topic, so please do join us Friday, 22nd November – 3pm Singapore time, and 7am UK time. Climate Courage is a livestream, held every two weeks and is co-hosted by Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko and Richard Busellato. On the show, we cover critical topics across the full spectrum of the polycrisis, in everyday language, and we go big picture on the climate crisis, while also drilling down and focusing on the actions we can all take to be part of the solution. Whether individual action, community action, or national/global action - every single one of us can be part of ensuring a live-able future for our children and grandchildren. We owe them that! #ClimateCourage #RethinkingChoices #UncommonCourage You 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
