A positive but challenging series about the risks and opportunities in addressing the climate and the way we live.
Stories from around the world, featuring scientists, artists, elders, activists, innovators and visionaries
Removing carbon from the atmosphere is essential if we're to stand a chance of slowing and reversing climate change. But developing ways to achieve this at scale brings the possibility of new risks.
We do not use A.I. to generate stories, scripts, narration, or images for artwork! All materials are from real people - with real innovations and creativity.
We're now at the stage where doing nothing is not an option, so how do we balance rigorous research and caution in a world running out of time?
Science and data are esential, but alone, not enough to shift opinion or behavior. People also need to feel an emotional connection to the challenges and possibilities around climate change.
ENGAGE, INFORM, ENTERTAIN AND INSPIRE
From climate restoration to climate repair to ecosystem restoration, we connect with the people and the ideas that may shape our future.
Science
Innovation
Top scientists and engineers share their work on the evolving science of climate restoration and repair.
Innovators are developing new ways to capture, convert and store carbon.
The business of climate repair
Start-ups are making sustainable businesses out of converting sequestered carbon into commercial products
Nature is best at climate repair
Events are overtaking us - Nature until recently could absorb our wastes and support our numbers.
Intentional living
Living off-grid with a minimal footprint can offer significant benefits for health and well-being too
Indigenous knowledge & wisdom
We shouldn't confuse intelligence with wisdom
Art, expression & the climate
Art can help people connect more emotionally to the climate and future.
The built environment
From tiny homes to 5- star hotels, we explore carbon-neutral and carbon-negative construction projects
A studio-based format with a presenter, introducing 3-4 short stories of climate repair from around the world, along with climate news headlines
SOME OF OUR UPCOMING CONTENT
The arts play a major role in communicating the importance and beauty of what we have,
and what we're losing...
Artist and photographer Nikki Baxendale captures fleeting moments of life and transition in the Arctic Circle, drawing attention to a fast-vanishing world.
SHARING THE WONDER AND THE POSSIBILITIES
BRINGING DATA TO LIFE
Garritt Benisch brings data to life, visualizing what 1 mile of carbon produced by the average car looks like.
Visualizing historic data and clarifying projections ranging from the conservative to the hopeful.
A CARBON MILE
Cloud brightening
Many of our coastal areas are losing reflectivity, which adds to the warming of our oceans.
What if we could increase cloud cover and reflectivity?
Center for Climate Repair at Cambridge
Prof. Shaun Fitzgerald explains the principles, potential risks and benefits of cloud brightening and how it may be a useful tool to slow the rate of warming.
USS Hornet, San Francisco
We recently visited the USS Hornet in San Francisco, the site of early cloud-brightening testing. A lack of community engagement brought the research to an abrupt halt, illustrating the importance of communicating with local stakeholders
Cloud brightening is the process of adding a salt water based aerosol into the atmosphere to increase cloud cover and reflectivity. Research continues to assess the benefits and possible risks.
WAR, CARBON & CLIMATE
As the wars in Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan continue with immeasurable human cost, their effects on the climate are significant.
Dr. Svitlana Krakovska,
Head of Applied Climatology
Laboratory, Ukraine
We meet with climate scientists and innovators who continue to work in Ukraine to bring about awareness and fundamental change.
Composer, conductor Christophe Chagnan discusses his symphony Terra Nostra a complete work dedicated to communicating the beauty and losses of planet earth.
