In this episode we're at the intersection of personal happiness and climate solutions, but starting in a Californian vineyard. We're talking to renowned sustainability scientist Professor Kimberly Nicholas from Lund University about her journey from her roots in a Californian vineyard to advocating for climate action on the global stage. Kimberly brings her unique perspective to our discussion, grounded in her bestselling book, "Under the Sky We Make," where she blends scientific insights with personal stories and calls to action. Learn about the high-impact actions that individuals in wealthy countries can take to trim their carbon footprints and why these choices matter not just for the planet, but for personal well-being too.
We also tackle the thorny (and current) issue of climate misinformation, looking at the role of fossil fuel companies in obstructing meaningful progress. Kimberly shares her thoughts on the empowering realm of personal and collective action, exploring strategies to counter disinformation and promote sustainable solutions.
From civil disobedience to conscious consumption choices, the conversation circles back to one central theme: the collaborative effort required to build a sustainable future. Tune in to hear Kim’s inspiring insights into how working together and learning from each other can help us achieve our common environmental goals.
