    Why nature isn’t “other” it’s “mother”, with Paul Hawken

    09/04/2026 | 8 mins.
    We’ve all heard the language: “fight,” “tackle,” “combat” the climate crisis, right? But what if the “warrior mindset” wasn’t just a battle cry, but actually part of the problem? According to OG environmentalist Paul Hawken, it is, because it “others” nature. Paul joins Climate Curious to share why it’s time to stop trying to “fix” the Earth, and remember instead that we are a part of it.

    07/04/2026 | 1h 7 mins.
    “Grief is a blessing. It's a guide. It's a signal. It's us being our best self when we feel grief, because it's our heart,” says OG environmentalist Paul Hawken on the Climate Curious podcast. In conversation with co-hosts Ben Hurst and Maryam Pasha, Paul invites us to reframe fear as grief, take courage over hope (particularly in regards to the Iran war), and even has a poignant message for aliens landing on Earth. Tune in to learn why your climate grief isn’t bad – it’s truth.

    How to wayfind without a map, with Katharine K. Wilkinson

    27/03/2026 | 10 mins.
    The world is not going to stop changing. So what do we do with that? Katharine K. Wilkinson, author, climate strategist, and two-decade veteran of the climate movement, tells Climate Curious that resilience isn't about having answers. It's about building the navigational muscles to keep moving when the answers don't exist yet. Tune in to explore the practice of climate wayfinding, learn how to look inward with care, outward with curiosity, and forward with courage; and find your way back to earth when the way forward feels unclear.
