256. We're Back! With a Cascade of Climate News
Welcome back to Season 10! With the hosts together again following our break, Tom, Paul and Christiana are bursting with news and analysis.\xa0
Up for discussion this week, the hosts try to understand why the Democrats haven\u2019t been talking much about climate change and what drives Kamala Harris\u2019 outrage and optimism. They delve deeper into the UK\u2019s new Labour Government\u2019s plans around energy, nature and climate change.\xa0\xa0
Plus the hosts scan the horizon for the consequential moments in climate policy, with UNGA, Climate Week NYC and two COPs hurtling towards us.\xa0

Outrage + Optimism, Live at Climate Week NYC
Event Title: It\u2019s Time To Unite For Mission 2025
Event Details: Tuesday 24th September, 12:00 - 13:00 ET, Glasshouse (NYC)
Event Description: Mission 2025 is a coalition of courageous leaders - mayors, governors, CEOs, investors, athletes, musicians and citizens - who are inviting governments to ratchet upcoming national climate plans (known as Nationally Determined Contributions) in line with the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5C.
Described as \u2018Defenders of Paris\u2019, Mission 2025 Partners arrive at Climate Week New York with a major update of new organizations who are ready to embolden governments to set more ambitious plans and accelerate implementation because they know this can unlock trillions in private investment, scale cheap renewable energy, support industries to compete in a low carbon economy, and safeguard living standards equitably for our people.
As a live recorded Outrage+Optimism podcast, this flagship event will demonstrate how these plans can be upgraded by showcasing government and real economy leaders who are driving towards \u2018positive tipping points\u2019 across the three themes of energy, nature & food, and finance.\xa0
The event is supported by the Mission 2025 Partners and convened by Groundswell \u2013 a collaboration between Global Optimism, Bezos Earth Fund and Systems Change Lab \u2013 together with the Climate Group.
