Changing the Rules - Jojo Mehta in conversation with Jonathon Porritt

Jojo Mehta, co-founder of the Stop Ecocide campaign, in conversation with renowned veteran environmentalist and author Jonathon Porritt (whose new book Hope in Hell comes out this month) on World Environment Day 2020. Jonathon brings the wisdom and understanding of decades addressing the environmental and climate crisis at NGO and government level, while Jojo has applied her activism, communication and leadership experience to growing the legacy of her long-term working partner and friend, the visionary lawyer the late Polly Higgins. From criminal law to state policy to everyday action, this is a frank yet fundamentally optimistic dialogue on the rules we must change to address - and transform - the world we face.

The U.S. faces a critical energy dilemma: immediate fossil fuel needs, exacerbated by global crises, conflict with the urgent scientific imperative to rapidly reduce production to avert climate catastrophe. Fossil fuel companies' claims of decarbonization are unsubstantiated, given their history of obstructing climate action.

Climate politics expert Kate Aronoff explores how policymakers must expand their toolkit to manage an orderly decline of the fossil fuel era, fostering a collective stake in our energy future.

Nikola Kováčová, known as Surová dcérka, once believed meat was essential. Her perspective shifted after moving to India, where she became vegan, initially for comfort, then due to concerns about animal husbandry's environmental impact.

A photographer and creative director in Prague, Nikola has actively blogged for six years on dcerka.sk, covering ethical veganism, recipes, and cruelty-free cosmetics. Vegan since October 2013, she is now publishing "Slovegán," the first Slovak vegan cookbook. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
