This Year in Climate: 2023
Listen now
Description
It’s been a year of weather extremes — again. But there’s also been cause for  renewed hope about our climate future. On the heels of this year’s international climate conference held in the oil-rich Middle East, Climate One hosts Greg Dalton and Ariana Brocious review major climate stories of the year, both lows and highs. This special episode features excerpts from some of Climate One’s most surprising, moving and compelling interviews of 2023, including conversations with luminaries Rev. Lennox Yearwood and Rebecca Solnit, White House Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi, climate activist Nalleli Cobo and U.S. Sen. Cory Booker. A previous version of this episode incorrectly stated that the COP28 agreement includes a transition from fossil fuels this decade. While the deal calls for the transition to happen in “a just, orderly and equitable manner,” it does not include a timeframe. We regret the error. Guests:  Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Jr., CEO, Hip Hop Caucus  Kathy Baughman-McLeod, Director, Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center; Senior VP, Atlantic Council  Ali Zaidi, White House Climate Advisor Jane Fonda, Activist, Actor Nalleli Cobo, Cofounder, People Not Pozos Ralph Chami, Assistant Director, Western Hemisphere Division, Institute for Capacity Development, IMF Bernie Krause, Soundscape Ecologist Paolo Bacigalupi, author John Curtis, U.S. Representative (R-UT) Cory Booker, United States Senator, New Jersey Rebecca Solnit, Writer, Historian, Activist For show notes and related links, visit our website. 📞 Call us at (650) 382-3869 to share your clothing story for a chance to be featured on an upcoming episode!
