  • Indigenous Leaders at COP26

    Indigenous Leaders at COP26
    Feb 24 2021
    100 Indigenous leaders are preparing to come to Glasgow in November for COP26. Climate Fringe's Kat Jones chats to Calfìn Lafchenke of the Mapuche people of Patagonia about his plans for gathering elders and leaders from across the world, keeping a flame burning throughout COP and why he thinks that scientists and artists are the shamans of the western world. Calfín discusses the work of the Minga Indigena of joining together science, arts and culture and indigenous knowledge to communicate to world leaders and people across the world at COP26 and how he is looking forward to meeting our own elders and tradition bearers when he comes to Scotland.   Calfín comes from the southernmost tip of Patagonia and was one of the organisers of the Minga Indigena, the gathering of Indigenous leaders that came to COP25 in Madrid. We are also joined by Isabella Noero, director of UNÁ Festival, who is Colombian and based in Glasgow who translates the conversation with Calfín and explain some of the work she is doing with Calfín to link artists with the work of the Minga Indigena.

    Family Festive: Talking turkey on Climate
    Dec 22 2020
    For our Climate Fringe Christmas Special, regular hosts Kat and Manish invite their respective siblings (who also happen to work on climate and conservation) around the virtual Christmas dinner table. With so many families unable to meet up in person this year, join the Joshis and the Joneses as they try and have a virtual Christmas: talking Climate, COP and cheesy cracker jokes.   Kat's sister, Professor Julia Jones is a conservation scientist working on, among other things, the effectiveness of forest conservation initiatives including climate-related incentives. She is particularly interested in the social and local community dimensions of conservation. Manish's brother, Rajiv Joshi, is a founder of Bridging Ventures, an initiative to connect across business, creatives, investors and activists on sustainable solutions. He was previously the Managing Director of The B Team, a not-for-profit initiative formed by a global group of business leaders to catalyse a better way of doing business, for the wellbeing of people and the planet.  “Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com“
