Summary

Welcome to another episode of Outrage + Optimism, where we examine issues at the forefront of the climate crisis, interview change-makers, and transform our anger into productive dialogue about building a sustainable future. This week, Christiana, Tom and Paul cut straight to heart of our collective outrage following yet more announcements from Oil and Gas companies disclosing record-breaking profits. The fact that these record breaking profits are juxtaposed with record-breaking temperatures directly causing devastation to people and planet leads to a line-in-the-sand moment for Christiana. Our esteemed guest this week is Her Excellency Razan Khalifa Al Mubarak, UN Climate Change High-Level Champion for COP28. Tune in as the hosts explore with Razan her journey to her current role, her passionate focus and belief on the integral role of nature in tackling the climate crisis and the importance of engaging, understanding and preserving different cultural relationships to our environment. This week's music comes from a wonderful artist called Arya with her superb track: "The Art of Letting Go."

0:11.0	What is your episode about next week?
0:12.9	Well we have a mini series in two parts and I think of it as a follow-on from your wonderful
0:18.9	momentum versus perfection because you were dealing with one of the great struggles in
0:23.8	the climate change movement, which is like how we managed to balance those two.
0:28.2	And I've been digging a little bit into both the problems with why we're a bit stuck,
0:34.9	not least that we have difficulty getting policy past to get the laws that we need to reduce
0:39.4	emissions at 7% a year, but also what can be done about it.
0:42.7	And had just great co-hosts, Fiona McLean, who used to run the race to zero, Dylan Tanna,

1:06.2	So please listen to me, even though it won't have Tom and Christiana, it's still going
1:10.3	to be pretty good because of the fantastic people that we've got.
