Description
Welcome to another episode of Outrage + Optimism, where we examine issues at the forefront of the climate crisis, interview change-makers, and transform our anger into productive dialogue about building a sustainable future. With Tom away, Christiana and Paul discuss the extreme and deadly heat waves facing multiple continents, news which is dominating the headlines. They review the details of the recently published Letter to Parties from the incoming COP president, which sets out his vision for what he thinks needs to be accomplished at COP28 later in the year. Also, they talk about the hard won law just passed by the European Parliament to restore degraded natural ecosystems. Our special guest this week is Fiona Morgan, Chief Purpose Officer of Sail GP, an extraordinary international sailing competition. Hear about the Sail GP Impact League, in which athletes race to win two podiums - one for sporting performance and one for the planet. They bring us a fascinating conversation on how climate, sport, ocean and nature collide. To close this week's episode, music comes from the Norwegian band Darling West, and their beautiful song ‘How I Wish’.   You still have time to submit your questions to our hosts for next week’s episode, email us at [email protected] or engage on our social media channels.  NOTES AND RESOURCES   Letter to Parties - COP28 UAE   Fiona Morgan, Chief Purpose Officer at SailGP LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook Here is a link to the video mentioned by the hosts, Season 4 Calendar Revealed | SailGP Purpose & Impact Report    Darling West Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | Spotify Learn more about the Paris Agreement.   It’s official, we’re a TED Audio Collective Podcast - Proof!
