How Mongolia is pushing for the right to clean air, with Enkhuun Byambadorj

When a capital city is only breathing the equivalent of two days of clean air a year, who is responsible and how can we fix it? With pollution levels in Mongolia’s capital of Ulaanbaatar hitting as high as 144 times the WHO guidelines, organisations like Breathe Mongolia Clean Air Coalition are working to help spread knowledge and awareness both inside and outside of the country. “There are no resources in Mongolia about air pollution, so let's create a hub in both English and Mongolian that’s accessible” says co-founder and climate negotiator Enkhuun Byambadorj. From gathering over 70,000 signatures to bring about public hearings, to pushing for evidence based research to counter the anecdotal, Enkhuun shares how her organisation is shifting the narrative and challenging the government's failings to provide the people’s right to clean air.

The real cost of climate change? $400 billion, with Harjeet Singh

When extreme weather events strike, who picks up the cheque? With the more devastating effects of climate change disproportionately hitting the Global South, Climate Curious asks the question “What does climate justice look like, and how much will it cost?” Enter climate justice advocate, Harjeet Singh, and his work with The Loss and Damage Fund. A mechanism designed to redistribute money from polluters to the survivors of extreme weather events. From helping communities with loss of life, biodiversity, homes, and land, Harjeet shares how this mechanism can rebalance the scales and make sure that polluters are actually paying for their emissions.

Separating oil and gas TV fact from fiction in ‘Landman’, with Debbie Gordon and Lucy Stone

Is the show ‘Landman’ just slick fossil fuel promotion? Climate Curious separates fact from fiction when it comes to the narratives pushed in Taylor Sheridan’s new drama. With help from senior principal in RMI’s Climate Intelligence Program, Debbie Gordon, as well as Executive Director of Climate Spring, Lucy Stone, we unpack the environmental impacts the show conveniently leaves out, from ignored methane emissions from oil pumping, to orphaned wells and the impact that has on communities left behind, as well as the possible lag between pop culture and the climate realities we are living in today.


Enjoyed this conversation? Listen to the full episode, ‘What ‘Landman’ gets right about wind farms, gas leaks, and life on a West Texas oil farm, with Debbie Gordon and Lucy Stone’.

The end of new oil and gas exploration in the UK? with Tessa Khan

Is the UK finally closing the door on new oil and gas exploration in the North Sea? According to Tessa Khan, Executive Director of Uplift, yes! A corner has been turned and now the UK government has announced a ban on new oil and gas exploration licensing. Khan unpacks the myths around how new drilling will lower energy bills, as well as securing our energy independence, and why even with this news we must keep the pressure on the government to deal with pending projects like the Rosebank and Cambo oil fields. Finally Tessa discusses future plans and the importance of ensuring that the communities around these fossil fuel sites are supported as they pivot to the growing offshore wind industry.

What’s the reality of life in West Texas oil country? In response to Season 2 of Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Landman’ starring Billy Bob Thornton, we asked the head of RMI's Oil & Gas Solutions Initiative and a narrative change expert to help us sort fact from fiction. What’s accurate and what’s inaccurate in this oily, macho, TV drama series? Join Climate Curious co-host Maryam Pasha with guests Debbie Gordon from RMI and Lucy Stone from Climate Spring as we unite climate science with climate culture to unpick what's really going on behind-the-scenes of ‘Landman’.

How to tell between real and fake carbon capture, with James Mwangi

What’s the real deal with carbon capture? Sucking carbon out of the air may sound like an enticing solution, but climate advocate and investor James Mwangi warns that the technology is too often used to justify polluting behaviour rather than prevent it. As he puts it, it’s the difference between endlessly cleaning up a messy room versus simply not making the mess in the first place. Furthermore, the technology is very energy intensive; but Kenya, with 96% renewable energy, is uniquely positioned to provide this technology, says Mwangi. Recorded live in conversation with Climate Curious co-host Ben Hurst at TED Countdown 2025 in Nairobi, Kenya.

Life-writing through the eyes of nature, with poet Riley Faulds

“Poetry helps shift some of the really dominant ways we think about the environment, particularly in the west” says environmental scientist and poet Riley Faulds. With the practice of ‘life-writing’ Riley shares how he approaches the writing process, as well as how this can have an impact on the way we all appreciate and interact with the natural world, drawing from his studies of World Literatures at Oxford. He discusses tackling the tendency in the west to view the world through the lens of dualism, human versus non-human, as well as how to get inspired with our own experience with nature. Recorded live at Oxford’s Right Here Right Now Global Climate Summit 2025.


Riley’s recommended reading:

- Evelyn Araluen, ‘Dropbear’

- Elfie Shiosaki, ‘Homecoming’

- Alice Oswald, ‘Falling Awake’

- Alice Oswald, ‘Woods etc.’

How doctors are prescribing for climate conflicts, with Dr. Omnia El Omrani

“Climate change is going to exacerbate an already vulnerable population, especially in conflict zones,” says Dr. Omnia El Omrani, an Egyptian physician and the first official Youth Envoy for the UN Climate Summit. Omnia shares how the NHS has been pushing towards an even wider definition of “do no harm” with its push for net zero emissions, as well as sharing examples of how the people living in some of the toughest places for climate change are being helped by practical climate solutions.

Decarbonising Japan whilst honouring the scars of its past, with Kimiko Hirata

Kimiko Hirata shares her vision of a carbon-free Japan, and how shifting from “no” to “yes” is the key to mobilising people and government towards positive change. In the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan had the opportunity to keep its commitments to renewable energy, says Goldman Environmental Prize winner and environmental activist Kimiko. Instead Japan closed its nuclear sites and went all in on coal power plants and stands as the country with the fifth most coal power plants in the world. Kimiko joins Climate Curious to share why positive action is more powerful than negative narratives in decarbonising a nation. Recorded live at TED Countdown 2025 in conversation with Climate Curious co-host Ben Hurst.

LIVE | How culture makes climate irresistible, with Daze Aghaji

Straight from the Big Brother House to the Climate Curious Live stage, recorded live at Ladbroke Hall, we caught up with Daze Aghaji on the evolution of activism, and how culture with both a “big C” and a “small c” is upstream of social cohesion, and crucial for driving change. Daze shares how rumination can limit our vision of a positive future, as well as recounting her experience on Big Brother, specifically with communicating climate to the unconvinced.

Why loss and damage funding matters, with Harjeet Singh

When floods, storms, and droughts strike, who helps communities pick up the pieces? According to climate justice leader Harjeet Singh, the world still doesn’t have a fair answer. Currently, the countries least responsible for climate change are paying the highest price. When disaster strikes, typically countries must cover around 80% of the costs themselves. As one of the architects of the Loss and Damage Fund, Harjeet argues that wealthy nations should contribute far more, around $400 billion annually, to support those hardest hit by climate disasters. With current pledges at less than one percent of that, the Director of the Satat Sampada Climate Foundation explains why this moment is critical, and why getting money quickly into the hands of affected communities is essential. Harjeet has launched the ‘Fill The Fund’ campaign to pressure wealthy nations and major corporate polluters to pay up for the climate damage they have caused. Recorded live at TED Countdown 2025 in conversation with Climate Curious co-host Ben Hurst.
