90. Ferocious Love with Katharine Wilkinson
With a deep freeze in Texas leaving a wake of devastation, a UN Security Council Meeting weakly addressing climate change as the planet\u2019s \u201cgravest threat\u201d, and massive investment for offshore wind in Denmark to produce green ammonia, there\u2019s no shortage of things to be outraged by or optimistic about this week!
We are at a new political moment where we are seeing the ambition for a cleaner world, and we are seeing the economics weigh more and more towards phasing out fossil fuels. We\u2019re even seeing the political winds shift toward championing racial, social, and economic justice! And at the heart of the climate movement that is deeply committed to making all of this possible is a ferocious love for our planet, nurtured and activated by a \u2018feminist climate renaissance\u2019 as our guest, Katharine Wilkinson, phrases it.
This week we talk to Katharine Wilkinson, author, teacher and former Editor-in-Chief at Project Drawdown, about her latest book co-edited with Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, \u2018All We Can Save\u2019, an anthology of women\u2019s voices in the climate movement, and what is giving her a \u201cfire in the belly and the heart\u201d in tackling the climate crisis.
Our interview with Katharine gets into why she believes the climate crisis is ultimately a leadership crisis, and explores the idea of transformative leadership and emerging voices at the core of the climate movement which she describes as, \u201ccharacteristically feminine, but also more committedly feminist in its commitment to equality and justice.\u201d
