How to live without fear, with Mo Brings Plenty

“It’s not too late” for us to embrace and preserve the natural world, “it’s just a little step back… a choice to live without fear.” Growing up in Lakota Country, actor Mo Brings Plenty of hit show ‘Yellowstone’, shares with Climate Curious his perspective on the natural world and how despite humans being “the most vicious predators the world has come to know” there is a space for us to fit inside the ecosystem. In conversation with executive producer Josie Colter, Mo drills down into the notion that we are all in this together, and that by listening to nature we can find our respective places in this world.Tickets for Climate Curious LIVE, 11th February 2025, ‘Climate OGs: The history & future of climate progress: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/climate-curious-live-tickets-1978623502158What do you want next on Climate Curious?

How Mongolia is pushing for the right to clean air, with Enkhuun Byambadorj

When a capital city is only breathing the equivalent of two days of clean air a year, who is responsible and how can we fix it? With pollution levels in Mongolia’s capital of Ulaanbaatar hitting as high as 144 times the WHO guidelines, organisations like Breathe Mongolia Clean Air Coalition are working to help spread knowledge and awareness both inside and outside of the country. “There are no resources in Mongolia about air pollution, so let's create a hub in both English and Mongolian that’s accessible” says co-founder and climate negotiator Enkhuun Byambadorj. From gathering over 70,000 signatures to bring about public hearings, to pushing for evidence based research to counter the anecdotal, Enkhuun shares how her organisation is shifting the narrative and challenging the government's failings to provide the people’s right to clean air.Tickets for Climate Curious LIVE, 11th February 2025, ‘Climate OGs: The history & future of climate progress: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/climate-curious-live-tickets-1978623502158What do you want next on Climate Curious?

The real cost of climate change? $400 billion, with Harjeet Singh

When extreme weather events strike, who picks up the cheque? With the more devastating effects of climate change disproportionately hitting the Global South, Climate Curious asks the question “What does climate justice look like, and how much will it cost?” Enter climate justice advocate, Harjeet Singh, and his work with The Loss and Damage Fund. A mechanism designed to redistribute money from polluters to the survivors of extreme weather events. From helping communities with loss of life, biodiversity, homes, and land, Harjeet shares how this mechanism can rebalance the scales and make sure that polluters are actually paying for their emissions.Check out Harjeet’s recent TED Countdown talk: The real cost of not adapting to climate change, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb_3VtlziukSatat Sampada Climate Foundation - https://www.instagram.com/satatsampadaclimateFill The Fund campaign - https://www.instagram.com/fill_the_fund/What do you want next on Climate Curious?

Separating oil and gas TV fact from fiction in ‘Landman’, with Debbie Gordon and Lucy Stone

Is the show ‘Landman’ just slick fossil fuel promotion? Climate Curious separates fact from fiction when it comes to the narratives pushed in Taylor Sheridan’s new drama. With help from senior principal in RMI’s Climate Intelligence Program, Debbie Gordon, as well as Executive Director of Climate Spring, Lucy Stone, we unpack the environmental impacts the show conveniently leaves out, from ignored methane emissions from oil pumping, to orphaned wells and the impact that has on communities left behind, as well as the possible lag between pop culture and the climate realities we are living in today.Enjoyed this conversation?
