In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

The 2024 UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) ended in late November in Baku. Two weeks of intense climate negotiations unveiled deep divides—particularly between the Global North and South over climate finance and contentious debates on the right wording of transitioning away from fossil fuels. In this episode Angelina Davydova and Boris Schneider dissect the outcomes of the conference, offering insights into the broader implications for climate action, both globally and in Central Asia. Joining the conversation is Kyrgyz journalist Anastasia Bengard , who attended COP29 as a fellow of the Climate Change Media Partnership (CCMP) programme. She shares her firsthand observations from the conference, shedding light on the positions and statements of her home country and Central Asia at large, as detailed in her reporting for 24.kg . Tune in as we delve into the complex narratives and challenges that will define the future of climate action across Central Asia - and beyond.

How one Bulgarian tycoon could get away with gaming the EU's carbon market 28:53

2 years önce28:53

28:53

This week, the Eurasian Climate Brief team heads to the Balkans, Bulgaria, to look into the cracks of the European Union's carbon market (a.k.a., EU ETS). In July 2021, an investigation by Eleonora Vio and Daniela Sala for the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) found that two Bulgarian power plants appeared to have under-declared their carbon emissions. If true, this would mean the EU ETS would have lost around 30 million euros in emissions tax. Months later in February, the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) raided dozens of offices within the country. Key to the investigation is the company tasked with verifying the emission reports, which appears to be connected to Hristo Kovachki, the country's secretive energy tycoon and alleged owner of the coal power plants. Kovachki, whose empire almost crumbled in February, now appears to be off the hook, while the EPPO investigation has ground to a halt. So, is this the justice that awaits Europe's carbon fraudsters? And could it be that others are gaming the system as you read these lines? To answer these questions, energy journalist Evgeni Ahmadzai reports from Sofia and the Bobov Dol thermal power plant. Natalie Sauer then talks ETS corruption with him and senior investigative journalist Atanas Tchobanov. The EPPO has not responded to our requests for comment. For more on Eleonora Vio's work, visit her website and Twitter account @elevio64 . Daniela Sala's own portfolio can be consulted here and Twitter channel found @alasaleinad . Ivaylo Stanchev, a staff journalist at Kapital.bg , also contributed to the investigation.

Evgeni Ahmadzai is an energy journalist for Kapital.bg . Atanas Chobanov is the co-founder of Bivol.bg , an investigative outlet exposing the state-mafia nexus in Bulgaria. A veteran expert in corruption, Tchobanov has contributed to many cross-border investigation cases concerning hidden assets in Bulgaria and abuse of EU money.

Climate change affects almost all sectors of human societies and life. One underrated and underreported consequence of the climate crisis is taking so-called climate migration - displacement due to climate change. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) predicts the number of "environmental migrants" in 2050 to be between 25 million and 1 billion. To find out more about this topic and, in particular, about one of the most affected regions - Central Asia - Angelina and Boris spoke to Viviane Clement , Senior Climate Change Specialist with the World Bank's Climate Change Group, Ikrom Mamadov , Director of the Youth Group on the Protection of the Environment and the National Director of the Ecological Network of Tajikistan, and Kira Vinke , Head of the Center for Climate and Foreign Policy at the German Council of Foreign Relations (DGAP).

After the ban: which way forward for Russia's climate activists? 34:47

Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian civil society has faced increasing repression at home. The environmental movement is no exception. While they kept communication channels open before the war, feeding the outside world precious data on the state of Russia's forests, permafrost and Arctic, large mainstream NGOs such as WWF, Greenpeace and Bellona have all been declared undesirable organisations in recent months. This makes their nation-level work near to impossible. Angelina Davydova and Boris Schneider spoke to Vitaly Servetnik, a campaigner at Russia's Friends of the Earth and the Russian Socio-Ecological Union, about the situation, as wildfires continue to engulf eastern Siberia. Unflappable, Servetnik maintains that environmentalists within the country are as defiant and creative as ever.

Air pollution has blighted Serbia for years. This is due to the country’s heavy reliance on coal, which in 2021 powered around 70% of its electricity. Old diesel-powered vehicles and authorities move to tamper with air pollution criteria have also been part of the problem. In turn, activists have taken to the streets and courts. Our correspondents Lizi Auskery and Milivoje Pantović discuss the situation with activists, whistle-blowers and health workers in order to assess the scale of the problem.

One year of full-scale war in Ukraine 20:34

It’s been a year since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The war has killed hundreds of thousands both sides included and displaced millions of Ukrainians, while plunging the rest of Europe into an energy crisis. Its environmental impacts have also been devastating, ranging from military chemical contamination and emissions to nuclear threats. In Russia, the government's swing towards totalitarianism has taken a severe toll on the climate and environmental movements. One silver lining: Europe's rush to cut historic energy ties with Russia appears to have accelerated the continent's green transition. Tune in for a special episode on this sombre anniversary for a discussion between Angelina and Boris on all of the above points.

COP27 wrap-up & the power of Ukrainian climate activism 32:58

A little more than two weeks after the end of COP27, the Eurasian Climate Brief team takes stock on what the summit in Sharm El-Cheikh has achieved, and where it fell short: How significant is the deal on the ‘loss and damage’ fund, aimed at compensating developing countries for irreversible climate impacts? And what progress has made, if any, in the fight to phase out fossil fuels? Needless to say that all of this is to be read against the background of the Russian attack on Ukraine, the terrible consequences of which influenced much of this conference. We discuss this with Svitlana Romanko , an environmental lawyer and the founder of the Ukrainian NGO Razom We Stand. Svitlana will also brief us on her powerful protests and campaigns in the past months, from calls for a total ban on Russian fossil fuels imports to confrontations with Total’s CEO and Russian delegates.

The state of renewables in Albania (and beyond) 27:01

The six Western Balkan countries are struggling to embrace the EU’s plan on green energy. Albania produces almost all its electricity from hydropower plants, but at what cost to the environment? The construction of hydroelectric plants in the Librazhd area is destroying the ecosystem of the Shebenik-Jabllanice National Park. Some of the country’s hydroelectric power plants have been established without thought for the environment and in protected areas. Arlis Alikaj investigated the story in Albania. We also spoke to Rana Adib , executive director of renewable energy think tank REN 21 , about their recent report on the development of renewables worldwide. We focused specifically on Eurasia.

Arlis Alikaj , an accomplished Albanian investigative journalist with critically acclaimed reporting on environmental and social issues in the Balkan region. During his Balkan Fellowship for Journalistic Excellence by the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN), Arlis wrote an in-depth investigative article into illegal logging in Albania’s largest national park, Shebenik-Jabllanice, the last virgin forest trees along the green belt in Europe, which was published regionally in eight languages. He won the CEI SEEMO Award for Outstanding Merits in Investigative Journalism 2019 for his investigation, which is meant to acknowledge his courageous reporting and the importance of the work of young local journalists. He has also worked with CiFAR, a global civil society organisation based in Berlin fighting the theft of state assets. Here he led a cross-border investigation on illegal working permits in the UNESCO site of Lake Ohrid, which is shared by Albania and North Macedonia, in which he documented the corruption and the arbitrary decisions of certain powerful local figures taking place on both sides of Lake Ohrid.

Nord Stream leaks: discussing new climate security threats 21:46

2 years önce21:46

In late September, four leaks were detected in the gas pipelines linking Russia to Europe, Nord Stream 2 and Nord Stream 1. The incidents, were, in all likelihood, an act of sabotage. In a joint letter to the UN Security Council, Denmark and Sweden declared that they were caused by "at least two detonations" with "several hundred kilos" of explosives, causing major leaks of natural gas into the Baltic Sea. In this episode, we discuss the leaks’ environmental and geopolitical impacts with Sascha Müller-Kraenner, the CEO of Deutsche Umwelthilfe (Environmental Action Germany), a leading environmental, nature conservation, and consumer advocacy organisation. In 2020, his NGO filed a lawsuit with Germany's Higher Administrative Court against the construction of Nord Stream 2 over its potential methane leaks, including as a result of acts of terrorism. Although Müller-Kraenner lost that legal battle, he has now won the argument. We check in with him whether the leaks are the methane bomb we might fear, and what can we do to fix them. Moreover, could these events prompt governments to take climate security - as well as energy security - more seriously?

Energy prices were rocked by the Russian invasion, with Aluminium and Nickel prices increasing sharply in the first two weeks after the conflict began with the latter up by more than 100 percent. Fears around the disruption to supply and concerns about soaring energy prices that could halt production in Europe are being blamed for the hikes. Other metals of interest in this war include titanium, scandium, and palladium. In this episode we discuss the issues around the production and supply of rare earth minerals with Robert Muggah, a political scientist, urbanist and security expert and the co-founder of the Igarape Institute, a think tank dedicated to climate security based in Brazil.

In September 2019, Russia formally joined the Paris Agreement, raising hopes the world's fourth emitter would finally throw its weight behind global decarbonisation efforts. The move followed years of lobbying from European governments, including Germany, France and Scandinavian countries. Nearly 3 years later, the Kremlin's war on Ukraine appears to have severely undermined climate action and international collaboration over climate science. In an interview with Boris Schneider, Maria Pastukhova, a senior policy advisor at E3G climate think tank, assesses the state of the ecological transition and advises on how the West can limit the damage.
