We hear about the differences between the negotiation and implementation facets of COP events, the increasing size of COPs post-Paris, and the challenges and potential solutions for effective participation and meaningful impact. Hayley emphasises the need to shift focus from negotiations to implementation and suggests greater utilisation of virtual participation and regional climate weeks to enhance inclusivity and effectiveness.

S5 Episode 4: Exploring the Power of Ecolinguistics with Professor Arran Stibbe
In this episode, we talk with Professor Arran Stibbe from the University of Gloucestershire and the founding director of the International Eco Linguistics Association about his work in Ecolinguistics. We discuss the definition and scope of Ecolinguistics, its role in addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and alienation from nature. Arran shares insights on how language constructs our social realities, influences behaviour, and shapes policies that affect ecosystems. We also discuss the concept of transdisciplinarity, narrative ecology, and how positive discourse analysis can foster sustainable practices. Arran emphasises the importance of integrating non-human concerns into our value systems and how shifting the narratives can contribute to ecological resilience and sustainability.
