Kia ora Friend of the Institute,

With COP 26 in Glasgow fast approaching and nations around the world (including NZ) stiffening their backbone, national commitments (NDCs), to keeping the planet on a 1.5degree track, three of our recent Laureates came together last week to inspire us all further.

Current Laureate Christiana Figeures was joined by Johan Rockström (2017) and Tim Jackson (2016), on Christiana’s global podcast Outrage and Optimism.

Click below to hear what is a remarkable conversation with three global rock stars of the Climate Change/Justice movement.

A ten minute video featuring highlights of the discussion is also available here.

All three Laureates have recent books in play and available also – see The Future We Choose (Figeures/Rivett-Carnac – Random House); Breaking Boundaries (Rockström/Gaffney – DK Press/Netflix); and Post Growth – Life after Capitalism (Jackson – Wiley).

Stay well, stay safe – ACT on Climate!

Ngā mihi mahana,

“The antidote to despair is not hope in some naive sense. It is action. And that action is available to everyone all the time.”

Tim Jackson
