Reimagine


        In episode 3 Peter Drobac reimagines what our future could be like if we reset how we live with global climate action leader Christiana Figueres.“Here we are stuck in the norm, without any reason to be stuck.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reimagine is a podcast about people who are inventing the future. And in this episode we’re talking climate change – what’s at stake, the cost of inaction and the opportunities that exist if we harness the sustainability revolution that Al Gore told us about in the last series. We’re in a perilous moment, but it’s not too late to act. This needs to be our decade of action, the decade when we make a climate reset.Our guide is the inimitable Christiana Figueres. Christiana has been a force of nature in fostering global awareness and collective action on climate. As head of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, she brokered the Paris Agreement of 2015, a landmark international agreement that laid out an ambitious agenda to fight climate change and adapt to its effects.Since then, Christiana has continued work to accelerate the global response to climate change. She founded Global Optimism, which is currently persuading CEOs to commit to achieving net zero targets ahead of schedule. She’s also the co-host of the climate change podcast Outrage &amp; Optimism.Earlier this year Christiana published a book, The Future We Choose, with her podcast partner Tom Rivett-Carnac. While she doesn’t shy away from the risks we face if we don’t solve the climate crisis, she also gives us an awesome vision of what our future could look like if we do.Reimagine is presented by Oxford Answers and the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School.

The Sustainability Revolution With Al Gore


        As the world slips into recession, possibly even depression, Covid-19 has revealed the design flaws in our global economy.For decades, the conventional wisdom has been that there’s no problem the invisible hand of the market can’t fix. And while a relentless pursuit of growth at all costs has delivered prosperity for some, the gulf between the haves and the have-nots is at historic levels.Will this once-in-a-century pandemic create a once-in-a-generation opportunity for a real shift in our economic systems? If so, what should that look like?Six years ago, Ian Goldin predicted the next financial crisis would be caused by a pandemic. We talk with Ian about how we got here, and how to get out of it.Then we meet renegade economist, Kate Raworth, whose big idea - people and planet living in harmony “inside the doughnut” - may have found its moment.Reimagine is a new podcast series about people who are inventing the future.
