Climate Curious

Is the climate crisis as bleak as some of the headlines make it seem? Fix The News’ founder, solutions journalist and political economist, Angus Hervey, joins Climate Curious to talk “trendlines versus headlines”, and reveals the biggest climate story of 2025: China. In conversation with co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst, we discuss whether renewables are adding to the energy system or actually replacing fossil fuels, the unstoppable momentum of solar and wind in the US, and how China and its massive push into renewables may be the biggest story not being told in 2025.

Can ancient myths and folktales from the lost goddesses of Britain help us solve the climate crisis? Kim Willis thinks so. From stories of powerful female forces of nature, to legends of wild river creation, Climate Curious is reconnecting with waterways, rivers, and nature through the stories of Britain’s lost goddesses. Narrative strategist and author Kim Willis takes us deep into Britain’s mythological roots; sharing how these ancient stories and ideas can give us a fresh vision of the modern world today, and our place within it.

“It’s not too late” for us to embrace and preserve the natural world, “it’s just a little step back… a choice to live without fear.” Growing up in Lakota Country, actor Mo Brings Plenty of hit show ‘Yellowstone’, shares with Climate Curious his perspective on the natural world and how despite humans being “the most vicious predators the world has come to know” there is a space for us to fit inside the ecosystem. In conversation with executive producer Josie Colter, Mo drills down into the notion that we are all in this together, and that by listening to nature we can find our respective places in this world.

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.
