Welcome to a new season of How Could We? - recorded live at the Paris REALITY Tour (https://www.climaterealityproject.org/training) , organised by The Climate Reality Project (https://www.climaterealityproject.org/) , which aims to build public momentum and political will for ambitious climate commitments leading up to COP 30 in Brazil (https://unfccc.int/cop30) . This week, Anne-Sophie Garrigou (https://www.linkedin.com/in/agarrigou/) interviews Marina Gil Velasco (https://www.linkedin.com/in/marina-gil-velasco-/) , Project Lead at Climate KIC for the recently-launched Climate KIC Academy (https://www.climate-kic.org/programmes/learning-by-doing/academy/) . Marina explains how the Climate KIC Academy bridges the green skills gap by equipping leaders with the technical knowledge and transversal skills needed to tackle the climate crisis. The Climate KIC Academy accelerates the green transition by empowering climate leaders to turn knowledge into action and equipping businesses, industries, and policymakers with essential skills for lasting change.

VinylPlus® Med transforms high-quality, colourless medical vinyl waste into durable hospital products through a structured recycling process. Collected from participating hospitals, non-contaminated vinyl devices are carefully sorted, processed into premium recyclate, and reborn as durable healthcare products such as wall covering, flooring, and rehabilitation equipment—giving medical PVC a second life in healthcare. https://vinylplushealthcare.eu/sustainability/vinylplus-med/

Recording of the third LIFE BIOBEST capacity-building workshop on 10 April 2025.

Does the threat of technology used for misinformation purposes override the potential technology has for bringing people together collectively? How can we work and communicate with people who have opposing beliefs on climate change? While values and language are so important in discourse around environmentalism, how important is public policy as a route of change? These are just a few of the questions raised in this engaging Q&A the EPA held with Professor Karen O’Brien following a talk she gave on Transformation in a Changing Climate. Karen O’Brien is a professor of human geography at @UniOslo and co-founder of cCHANGE, a social enterprise that promotes a conscious and collaborative approach to sustainability transformations. Her research focuses on the human and social dimensions of environmental change. She is committed to understanding and engaging with equitable transformations to a thriving world. Broadcaster & Journalist Ella McSweeney chaired the event. The lecture took place on 26th March at 7:00pm. This lecture forms part of the National Dialogue on Climate Action.

The impacts of climate change and the policy responses to mitigate emissions affect different sections of society in different ways. The JustAdapt project is the first national-level study to consider socioeconomic vulnerability alongside climate change impacts at the electoral district (ED) level in Ireland. The research analysed the spatial distribution of changes in household income following the closure of a fossil fuel power plant, considering the hypothetical case study of the Moneypoint coal power plant in Ireland. The project: 1. integrated a spatial microsimulation model with data on extreme weather events to identify hot spots of climate vulnerability, where climate impacts and socioeconomic vulnerability coincide 2. used this spatial microsimulation framework to assess the local economic impacts of climate policy, such as the impacts of fossil fuel plant shutdown, and, 3. identified guidelines for policy to better integrate nature-based solutions, equity and justice into climate policy decision-making

The Transparency & Reporting in the GSS Bond Market Report is a comprehensive study of post-issuance reporting in the GSS bond market, aimed at enabling a healthy and transparent market. Climate Bonds have suggested a list of recommendations for high-quality and standardised reporting, but propose these four elements as a minimum: 1: Scope – report allocations and impact. 2: Bond identification – clearly state the scope of reports in terms of instruments and period covered, percentage of proceeds allocated and impact. 3: Accessibility to disclosure. 4: Frequency and timing. Our host Clodagh Muldoon, Head of Research at Climate Bonds Initiative and our esteemed panellists will assess the key details from this USD1.4 trillion sample and what this means for future market reportage.

How do we need to transform to solve the climate crisis? In the latest video from the EPA’s Climate Lecture series, Professor Karen O’Brien asks the important question - How do we transform at the scale, speed and depth necessary to achieve a just and sustainable world?
