We sit down with our first two experts to talk about the relationship between and the imprtance of in Systems Thinking in the Climate Crisis. With thanks to Richard Calland (Univeristy of Cape Town) and Andrew Watson (International School of Amsterdam).

Episode 1: Systems Thinking

The Climate Angle will examine headline (and not headline) news stories and ask the oft missed question: “what’s the climate angle?”. All too often, the news we are exposed to neglects to address the climate crisis, or consider the role/impact of climate change on the problem or situation. We often find that consideration of the climate crisis in news stories most readily/frequently/easily comes when the stories themselves are about a climate disaster. In addition, as a society in the West and Global North, we still put our news stories into disciplines. The world doesn’t work this way - we must use systems thinking to understand the complex relational network of problems and solutions that surround climate change. Thus: this podcast.
