    Green Giving: Climate Philanthropy Feb 03, 2025
    Show notes

    Ed chats with four movers & shakers in Canadian climate philanthropy.

    On Nov. 13, 2024, nine prominent Canadian family foundations, including EvC's David Keith’s, announced a combined pledge of $405 million, all dedicated to accelerating Canada’s shift to a low-carbon economy. They touch on:

    • Why this financial commitment occurred and why now
    • The challenges facing climate advocacy today and in the near future
    • What needs to succeed in the next 3-5 years
    • How philanthropy should respond when governments start to roll back key pieces of climate and environmental legislation - just like what we’re seeing already happening in the US post-inauguration.

    About Our Guests:

    (01:23) Claire Seaborn is an expert advisor to the Clean Economy Fund, former Chief of Staff to Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, and now a lawyer practicing at Torys LLP.

    (08:39) Devika Shah is the Executive Director of Environment Funders Canada, an umbrella organization for environmental foundations.

    (15:17) Bruce Lourie is President of the Ivey Foundation, one of the largest climate funders in the country.

    (20:55) Eric St-Pierre is the Executive Director of the Trottier Family Foundation, also one of Canada’s largest climate funders.

    Ed's #GivingTuesday Fundraising Pitch for Energy vs Climate Dec 03, 2024
    Show notes

    Support Energy vs Climate on #GivingTuesday

    Energy vs Climate is a labour of love – we hosts don't draw a salary from the show because we feel strongly about the public service benefit of the project.

    But, we still have production costs. So, we're asking one last time for you to please consider making a one-time or monthly donation in our only annual donation campaign. Thanks in part to last year's generous supporters, just yesterday we recorded a show with New York Times columnist David Wallace-Wells. It was a terrific conversation (thanks to all who sent in questions), and we look forward to dropping it on our feed in the next few days. We're nearly at our goal of $5000 - by helping us to reach this goal, you're helping to keep Energy vs Climate on the air.

    Thanks so much everyone. Now back to EvC's irregularly scheduled programming.

    -Ed, Sara and David

    EvC x Climate Book Reviews: "She’s a Killer" author Kirsten McDougall Nov 26, 2024
    Show notes

    Climate Book Reviews is co-hosted by EvC's own Ed Whittingham and his friend Roger Thompson, Associate Dean and Professor of Writing and Rhetoric at Stony Brook University in New York.

    Each episode highlights some climate related books worth knowing about. This episode is an interview with New Zealand author Kirsten McDougall about her novel, She’s a Killer. At times hilarious and at other times troubling, the book is set in the not-too-distant future and features a near genius with sociopathic tendencies facing the realities of her severely climate impacted world.
