Host John Whidden interviews Carter Mochinski from Lake Country, BC on Climate Action Figures. They discuss a QuickFix from Roger in Calgary about writing to companies as an investor, and Carter’s view that civic engagement with MPs/MLAs and corporations matters. Carter explains the Center for Global Education (CGE) and how it supports global climate education and youth participation. He shares highlights from attending COP30 in Belém, Brazil with CGE, including meeting Canada’s environment minister and interviewing a UNFCCC official, while criticizing limited youth access to negotiations and the presence of oil lobbyists. Carter describes nature-based AP Seminar education, learning from Syilx/Okanagan elders and 13-moon calendars, his political aspirations, and his personal climate action of eating less meat, using beans and chickpeas. He draws hope from 13-year-old UNICEF advocate Prasiddhi Singh.
