Kyla is joined by Terence Hamilton, domestic policy specialist focusing on child rights, health equality, and social justice with UNICEF Canada, or the United Nations Children’s Fund. UNICEF was established after world war 2 and works for child rights and well being. UNICEF helps children through natural disasters and humanitarian crises, and works to build global health and welfare systems that provide essential services, education, and safe environments for children and their families. Terence tells Kyla about the Innocenti Report Card 17, which focuses on the following questions: How do environmental factors affect children’s well-being? How are many of the world’s richest countries faring in terms of providing a healthy environment in which children can live, develop and thrive? What actions can these countries take to improve the environments in which children live? There’s a focus on Canada’s place in the report card, though Kyla urges everyone to read the general report as well.

Kristen and Kyla are joined by special guest Corey Hardeman, painter, presenter, and certified Death Doula who also hosts workshops on climate grief. She holds a BSc in biology and is trained in both architectural drafting and classical drawing. Her art combines elements of traditional illustration and technical drawing, with a love of tonal painting and an eye for tension and movement.
Corey discusses what forms grief may take, how it manifests in relation to the climate crisis, and what listeners can do to help mitigate the anxiety and grief they may be feeling in our turbulent present.

“What's hard is there's a policy cognitive dissonance, where you don't want to put money into the system you're trying to leave; but if you don't do that you risk that system becoming more fragile, and then risk the political consensus you've built in order to actually get the motion to decarbonize in the first place.”

Kristen and Kyla talk with Rory Johnston, founder of Commodity Context, about the road to a just energy transition. Topics: what exactly is the energy grid; what are the economics behind decarbonizing; what is the reasoning behind continuing to invest in fossil fuels; what will the Alberta oil-sands look like over the next ten years; what are the local and geopolitics behind decarbonizing.
