COP 26 BONUS: WHAT THE SHELL IS GOING ON?
WITH PROFESSOR GAIL WHITEMAN, VANESSA NAKATE, ERIEL TCHEKWIE DERANGER AND TOM B.K. GOLDTOOTH (FEAT. JOE LYCETT, BEN VAN BEURDEN, LAUREN MACDONALD, CHRIS JAMES, JOHAN ROCKSTRÖM AND CHRISTIANA FIGUERES)
For this bonus episode, Lily explores the issue at the centre of the climate crisis: fossil fuels. Lily also looks at green washing, and the new dangers posed by net-zero pledges. Lily shares insider access - and analysis of the infamous Edinburgh TED Countdown Summit from October 2021, where CEO of Shell Ben van Beurden was pressed on the company’s recently released ‘greenwashed’ net-zero plans, eliciting the first ever TED protest.
After an emotional event that saw youth activists leave in protest, Lily is keen to revisit the discussion and give climate science more air-time. So for this episode, she spoke to Professor Gail Whiteman - one of the scientists who analysed Shell’s “Sky Scenario” and interrupted the TED talk to challenge van Beurden’s plans.
Lily also includes the voices of indigenous leaders, Eriel Tchekwie Deranger and Tom B.K. Goldtooth, who discuss the effects of fossil fuel companies on their land, and climate activist Vanessa Nakate
