  • 850 - COP29 – False Solutions

    COP29 – False Solutions Souparna Lahiri COP29 – False Solutions On today’s show, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change – Conference Of Parties 29 started this week.  I’ll speak to Souparna Lahiri, Senior Climate and Biodiversity Policy Advisor for Global Forest Coalition about the false solutions being presented. From the Global Forest Coalition Press Release: “At UNFCCC COP29 in Baku, the Global Forest Coalition (GFC) is urging immediate action to end the financing of false solutions to climate change, such as carbon trading and offsetting, REDD+, monoculture plantations, bioenergy, and geoengineering. These projects, often carried out using bilateral and multilateral climate finance, avoid real emission reductions while displacing communities, damaging ecosystems, and exacerbating inequalities. GFC is calling for redirecting public funding to support genuine community-driven, rights-based, and gender-just, climate solutions. GFC is also spotlighting the urgent need to transform global food and agriculture systems to foster climate resilience and justice. With industrial food systems contributing a third of global greenhouse gas emissions and heavily relying on fossil fuels, GFC is advocating for a shift from intensive, corporate-driven agriculture to agroecological systems that prioritize the rights of local communities, food sovereignty, and climate resilience.” Description of REDD+: Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries. The ‘+’ stands for additional forest-related activities that protect the climate, namely sustainable management of forests and the conservation and enhancement of forest carbon stocks.

  • 849 - Standing Above the Clouds

    Standing Above the Clouds – Picture of Activists On today’s show, I’ll speak to filmmaker Jalena Keane-Lee about her documentary “Standing Above the Clouds”.  This is the ongoing story about the fight against the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawai’i. “Standing Above the Clouds was created through a collaborative process with our film protagonists. Through making this film, our team aimed to re-imagine the documentary form to be a healing process that returned agency to the community featured in our film through a trauma informed practice of affirmative consent. We worked closely with our onscreen collaborators at every step of the process and have taken great care to mitigate any legal, emotional, or cultural harm that releasing a film might cause. It is our team’s great privilege and honor to have been invited into the Mauna Kea protector community and into the lives and homes of the families you see in our film.” ~ Jalena Keane-Lee (director, cinematographer, producer) The film is an intimate journey through the women’s lives both on and off the mountain.  It explores the physical and emotional toll of sustaining a grassroots movement. After nine months of living on the mountain, it gifts each woman with hope, strength and the understanding that victory is in standing in unity for sacred places where healing occurs through the sisterhood they have created along the way.
