The ethical case for taking on the climate crisis | Al Gore, Wanjira Mathai & Karenna Gore (TED Countdown House)

In a special in-depth conversation from the TED Countdown House at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, Al Gore interviews Wanjira Mathai and Karenna Gore, leaders of the Global Ethical Stocktake, about centering justice, phasing out fossil fuels, and elevating Indigenous and Global South leadership in climate action. They discuss the importance of ethical considerations in addressing the climate crisis, Africa's role in providing solutions, the dissonance in America regarding climate issues, and the necessity of phasing out fossil fuels. The conversation also covers the impact of colonization and neocolonialism, the significance of local knowledge and seed varieties, and the interconnectedness of nature and climate. The speakers emphasize the need for a global ethical stocktake to continue as a permanent part of the COP process, promoting systemic change and inviting diverse voices to address the climate crisis effectively.
