“We've lost over 70 percent, 73 percent, I think the latest data indicates, of wildlife and mammals in the last 50 years. That’s just shocking when you get that data, but then you ask, what can I do? What can I do? I wanted to move away from any guilt or compulsion because it doesn't work to talk to people that way. After 50 years of climate being in the news, in science, and in our schools, less than a fraction of 1 percent of people in the world do anything about it on a daily basis. How could that be? This is a civilizational crisis. For less than 1 percent to be engaged and do something means that our communication is flawed. I’m not saying the people are wrong, or the science is wrong, or the facts are wrong, but the narrative as a whole is not one that truly entices people or draws them in with a shared understanding of what we face and what to do about it. “

At the heart of One Planet Podcast is a simple, urgent idea: the intertwined fate of humanity and the natural world is the defining narrative of our time. This series moves beyond headlines to explore the complex, often surprising connections between climate change, global politics, and tangible environmental solutions. In each episode, you’ll hear from the people on the front lines-policy makers from bodies like the European Commission, scientists from the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and activists from organizations including EARTHDAY.ORG and UNESCO. Their conversations dig into the real-world mechanics of a circular economy, the practical challenges of achieving net-zero emissions, and the quiet crisis of biodiversity loss affecting wildlife and ecosystems globally. The dialogue consistently returns to actionable hope, examining how regenerative agriculture can restore land, how renewable energy transitions are unfolding, and how individual carbon footprints fit into systemic change. Produced by Creative Process Original Series, this podcast is for anyone who seeks a deeper, more nuanced understanding of our ecological moment. It’s a space where the grand concepts of sustainability are broken down into human stories and strategic discussions, offering listeners not just analysis, but a sense of direction and possibility for the future we are all shaping together.
