229. 2024: The Year Of Democracy (Or Not)
Welcome back to Outrage + Optimism! Season 9 starts here\u2026 Our hosts - Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson - are back in conversation, sharing expertise, insights and camaraderie at the outset of the biggest election year in history with more voters than ever heading to the polls globally. Tune in as we explore what on earth does this all have to do with climate change?
The three hosts also discuss Christiana Figueres and co-host Isabel Cavelier\u2019s mini-series \u2018Our Story of Nature\u2019. Over three episodes, they deep dive into how the ecological crisis - and the many crises we find ourselves in - have their roots in the fact that, by and large, over time, many of us have become disconnected from the rest of nature. This heartfelt inquiry into our relationship with nature has been months in the making. It includes conversations with many insightful guests, including Arturo Escobar, Xiye Bastida, Dr. Bayo Akomolafe, Kate Raworth and Sister True Dedication.\xa0
Music comes from Wyldest and her beautiful song \u2018Easier to Believe\u2019. Wyldest is the artist project of London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer, Zo\xeb Mead.
