In this short Planet Pod Special we talk to public law lawyer Estelle Dehon from Cornerstone Barristers to get her view on climate justice and why people are motivated by this to take to the streets. Amanda asks her how climate action sits with the rule of law – two things which might be seen to be in conflict.

In this short Planet Pod Special we join Amanda as she sat down in the middle of Lambeth bridge and joined around 1000 supporters of Extinction Rebellion’s recent Day of Action in London – a peaceful protest to highlight the urgency of the climate crisis facing the world and the need for action now.

We grabbed the opportunity to catch up with Extinction Rebellion’s Dr Gail Bradbrook and Roger Hallam, together with Teddy – one of the campaign’s younger members – as they made preparations for Extinction Rebellion’s press conference in a busy (and quite noisy!) London pub. Extinction Rebellion is a campaign by the RisingUp Logo network. It aims to promote a fundamental change of our political and economic system to one which maximises well-being and minimises harm.

Join Amanda Carpenter as she interviews Helen Pankhurst, Kate Fox and Jennifer Nadel among others at the recent Deeds and Words Festival of women’s voices. The weekend event held to celebrate 100 years of women’s suffrage brought together poets, writers, politicians, campaigners and activists celebrating women making themselves heard across the decades politically, publicly and personally.

Does art imitate life or life imitate art? Join Amanda Carpenter (Achill Management) and her guest co-presenter Julie Flower from The Specialist Generalist as they explore just how much art, design, architecture and the built environment influence how we feel about the world around us and, specifically, the planet and the climate. Special pod guests Michael Pinsky, artist, and Lynne Elvins, independent design strategist, discuss life, art, design and pollution!
