Energy Voices

We’re wrapping up the Energy Voices series with a critical look at the promises that shaped the last decade of climate action. Ten years after the Paris Agreement, our guests examine what progress has actually been made, where governments and industries have fallen short, and why global emissions continue to rise despite major climate commitments and clean energy growth. The conversation also expl...

This episode explores how communities are taking control of their energy systems, from a solar-powered cooperative farm in Canada, a student initiative in northern Uganda turning agricultural waste into cooking fuel after a charcoal ban, and Indigenous-led dam removal and river restoration in the Klamath River region. Our guests unpack how locally led energy solutions can create jobs, build resili...

Our guests explore the overlooked side of the energy transition. While most conversations focus on building more clean energy, they unpack how efficiency, conservation, and flexibility can reduce demand, cut emissions, and ease pressure on energy systems. They also examine why energy use continues to rise, what that means for resources and infrastructure, and how rethinking how we live, move, and...

This episode dives into emerging energy solutions and their potential to redefine the energy transition. Moving beyond the mainstream focus on solar and wind, we explore hurdles facing technologies like Green Hydrogen, CCUS, and nature-based solutions. We shift the conversation from "what exists" to "how it scales," examining the friction caused by rising energy competition fro...

This episode dives into the so-called “hard-to-abate” sectors of the economy, from steel and cement to long-haul transport and aviation. Our guests explore why decarbonizing these industries is so complex, looking at the technical, economic, and policy limitations that make change challenging. They also discuss the innovative solutions and emerging technologies that could help transform these esse...

In this episode, our guests are climate leaders and a youth advocate who explore why climate science calls for a shift away from fossil fuel extraction, the real tensions around energy, jobs, and communities, and what a fair transition could realistically look like. They examine the forces driving continued oil and gas expansion and what it will take to move toward a cleaner energy future without...

In this episode, youth leaders and regional experts dive into the complex energy dilemma facing the Amazon. They explore the push and pull between development, decarbonization, and community-led action, and unpack what it really means to protect the rainforest while building a just energy future. Featuring: ⚡Eduarda Zoghbi - Founder, MPower Brasil; Member, Student Energy Board of Directors ⚡Joyc...

In this premiere episode, youth advocates and local leaders reflect on how climate action plays out across different levels of power, where alignment is working, and where things are falling short. Featuring: ⚡Sofía Morán (Former President, Student Energy UADY; G100 Member) ⚡Eric St-Pierre (Member of Parliament, Honoré-Mercier, Québec) ⚡Pablo Francisco Chávez Ochoa (Former President, Student En...
