Podcast ‘FROM CLIMATE TO BOTTOM’
The podcast that tells everything you need to know about the climate crisis in order to understand and deal with it.
28 June sees the debut of Da clima a fondo, the new podcast that tells you everything you need to know about the climate crisis in order to understand it and learn how to deal with it.
Natural change or anthropogenic crisis? Individual behaviour or collective responsibility? A question of survival or an opportunity to live better?
In the five episodes, released every Monday on the main listening platforms, the podcast explores the complexity of environmental and social phenomena linked to climate change.
The protagonists of this enterprise are:
Benjamin Cucchi, a student of philosophy at the helm
our volunteers, experts on environmental crises, Maria Grazie Ieva, Filippo Michieli and Alex Nicolini
the experts who will help look at problems and solutions through the lens of different disciplines.
In the podcast our authors will tell some of the stories scattered along the 18 thousand kilometres of the expedition among the deserts and glaciers of Eurasia that bear witness to the effects of the climate crisis.
The podcast is produced and produced by FRidA UniTo, the Research Forum of the University of Turin, in the framework of the agreement that The Climate Route APS signed with the University of Turin.
LISTEN TO ALL EPISODES OF THE ‘CLIMATE TO DEPTH’ PODCAST
In the first episode we ask: how does the climate work? What are the causes of its evolution?
We learn to distinguish between natural causes and those linked to the actions of the human species, the weight of which makes us speak today of the Anthropocene.
To help us understand complex concepts, the first experts are Elisa Palazzi, climate physicist, Marco Giardino, geologist and Daniela Fargione, linguist.
In the second episode we talk about the stop in Sicily, where the climate crisis has already profoundly changed the marine ecosystem.
Hurricanes, floods, droughts: today climate change is causing extreme weather events and disasters. Tomorrow?
We also talk about this with Giorgio Vacchiano, lecturer and researcher, Carlotta Quagliolo, PhD student in Urban and Regional Development and Annalisa Viani, postgraduate student.
What changes if we focus on the urgency to save ourselves from extinction or instead on the opportunity to live better? And what are still the linguistic and psychological traps of different communication strategies?
We tell the story of the extinction of the Caspian Tiger, and two stories of synergy between humans and nature, that of the Italian Malaga people and that of Russian shamans.
Speakers include Maria Cristina Caimotto, researcher in English, and Alex Piovan, co-founder of Linguisticamente, a website on language science.
The impacts of the climate crisis spare no one and the damage – environmental, economic and social – is more or less evident at any latitude.
How are national governments and local authorities responding? While entire populations are being forced to migrate, what adaptation strategies are companies applying? We take you on a journey between Sicily and Mongolia to discover adaptation solutions.
We discuss this in the fourth episode with Marco Bagliani, Laura Corazza, Tommaso Orusa and Dario Padovan, lecturers and researchers at the University of Turin and authors of “Lessico e nuvole”.
We have come to the end of our climate-to-bottom journey and for the last episode we try to take the big step: from theory to practice. How do we turn what we have discovered so far into action? What is the role of each of us as individuals and how much is in the hands of the community?
In this part we talk about rights, responsibilities and climate justice with Elena Casetta and Emilio Corriero, creators and lecturers of the Environment and Ethics course at the University of Turin, and with Cristina Poncibò, lawyer and lecturer in Animal Welfare and Rights at the University of Turin. Our Maria Grazia Ieva tells us a story from the Balkans.
