Avoiding Climate Disaster: A Discussion with Noam Chomsky, Belinda Archibong, Jeff Schlegelmilch

Andy @Revkin

Oct 31, 2021

I hope you’ll check out this pre-Substack Sustain What discussion from October 27, 2021!

Drawing on insights from his book Climate Crisis and the Global Green New Deal, our featured guest, Professor Noam Chomsky, explores paths to climate progress on an overheating and starkly unequal planet with fresh assessments from Columbia Climate School's Jeff Schlegelmilch, director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness and Dr. Belinda Archibong, a Barnard College economist focused on African development and perspectives on climate and energy policy.

Here was a particularly powerful moment:

The session was hosted by longtime climate journalist Andy Revkin, the founding director of the Initiative on Communication & Sustainability of the Columbia Climate School. Student-nominated representatives from Teachers College engaged the panel with their questions on climate action and learning.

Discussion about this podcast

Sustain What?

Sustain What? is a series of conversations, seeking solutions where complexity and consequence collide on the sustainability frontier.

This program contains audio highlights from hundreds of video webcasts hosted by Andy Revkin, founder of the Columbia Climate School’s Initiative for Communication and Sustainability.

Dale Willman is the associate director of the initiative.

Revkin and Willman believe sustainability has no meaning on its own. The first step toward success is to ask: Sustain what? How? And for whom?
