Episode drops end of May: https://soundcloud.com/citizensclimateradio/ep-60-sovereignty-land-rights-and-climate-change-with-mary-kathryn-nagle-and-jacques-kenjio/ As impacts of climate change affect the places where we live, conflicts and questions arise. This is what happened to Jacques Kenjio and his family in the costal city of Douala, Cameroon. Although a tribal chief provided them with legal documentation to occupy the land, the government forced them and hundreds of others to leave without providing any compensation. This motivated Jacques to learn about social justice and to pursue higher education in the United States. Jacques Kenjio is a Ph.D. Candidate in environmental studies at Antioch University New England (AUNE) with a focus on two key areas: Government-Driven land dispossession and land policy reform in Sub-Saharan Africa at large, and specifically in his country of birth, Cameroon. His other research interests include: environmental justice and policy (especially climate change policy), multi-stakeholder participatory processes, social justice and community building. In looking for ways to get involved in the climate movement, he stumbled upon Citizens Climate Lobby. At first he could not believe citizens were able to approach lawmakers and their staffs directly. This type of access just does not happen in Cameroon. In addition to taking part in CCL activities in the USA, Jacques is now active in Citizens Climate International in supporting CCL volunteers in French speaking African countries. Jacques reveals the challenges CCLers in many African countries face in part because of the daily challenges that come from poverty, underemployment, and political instability. He also tells us the moving story of Bunyui John Njabi, a CCL volunteer who was killed because of political unrest in Cameroon. In addition to his work wtih CCL Bunyui John Njabi sang original songs about climate change and environmental justice. His song and music video Water Time Bomb and highlights the urgent need to address water shortages and pollution. You will hear the song in this episode. The Art House Mary Kathryn Nagle is an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation. She is also a partner at Pipestem and Nagle Law, P.C., where she works to protect tribal sovereignty and the inherent right of Indian Nations to protect their women and children from domestic violence and sexual assault.

This high-level event will explore how trade and trade-related policies could be used to support decarbonisation, focusing specifically on Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms (CBAM). Alternatives to CBAMs, such as the inclusion of climate and environmental conditions in trade agreements and the formation of ‘Carbon clubs’ are also discussed. The event, organised by the Brussels office of CISL, will centre on the launch of a new report ‘On the Borderline: The EU CBAM and its place in the world of trade’. The report presents an independent analysis that provides a systematic and thorough assessment of the opportunities and barriers for implementing CBAMs, and what factors could improve their feasibility. It contributes to the growing debate on the EU’s recent CBAM proposal, which has attracted much discussion and interest around the role of trade in climate policy and the impact of climate policy on trade relations. The research and event have been supported by Microsoft. Speakers include: Antoine Colombani, Member of Cabinet of Frans Timmermans, European Commission Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal Casper Klynge, Vice President for European Government Affairs, Microsoft Dr Susanne Dröge, Senior Fellow, Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik Thomas Hörnfeldt, Vice President for Sustainability & Public Affairs, SSAB Dr Alberto Arribas-Herranz, Sustainability Science Lead, Europe, Microsoft Pierre Jérémie, Advisor in charge of heavy industries, energy and the circular economy to Ms Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Minister in charge of Industry Catrina Rorke, Vice President of Policy, Climate Leadership Council Clare Shine, Director and CEO of CISL Dr Sanna Markkanen, Research Lead, Centre for Policy and Industrial transformation, CISL Hosuk Lee-Makiyama, Director of the European Centre for International Political Economy Hector Pollitt, Chief Economist, Chief Economist, Cambridge Econometrics Professor Jorge E.

In this behind-the-scenes look at Prime Minister of Finland Sanna Marin's visit to Columbia, as part of a World Leaders Forum event, students and faculty reflect on the "extraordinary experience" of meeting a sustainability leader. The event was hosted by Alex Halliday, director of Columbia’s Earth Institute, and moderated by Karenna Gore, director of the Center for Earth Ethics at the University’s Union Theological Seminary.

For years now, Columbia has been tackling the issue of climate change. From cutting edge research to grassroots student movements, Columbia on Climate is a new series that highlights how climate and sustainability remain a central focus of the University community.
