Climate Curious

Are you Climate Curious? If you care about the world, but find the current conversation about climate change confusing, scary or boring – then this might be the podcast for you. Join TEDxLondon and co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst as we lift the lid on the climate emergency by speaking to the world’s leading and most relatable climate pioneers. Find out why cities are key to the climate fight, why we need to tackle systemic problems (and not just plastic straws), and why we’re all a bit crap at sustainability.

One of the Best Climate Podcasts I’ve Come Across

Climate influence, and *action* is something we all need to better understand and get involved with - whether as adviceates or corporate or political leaders. Why did it take me this long to discover this podcast? I am amazed. Over their several seasons, the hosts have interviewed some incredible people - many now, a few years later, being featured on ever more podcasts. The folks at TEDxLondon / Climate Curious have identified amazing guests, and have had well-informed discussions with them all (whether longer episodes or the quick versions). As someone very focused on the podcast medium and what sorts of storytelling can really have an impact - and especially influence more folks with even niche platforms to act more boldly - this is at the top of my recommended list.
