Jennifer Morgan – On Greenpeace, COP26 and climate activism
Manage episode 293663384 series 2789325
In the 9th episode of Planet A’s second season, Dan Jørgensen talks with Jennifer Morgan, the Executive Director of Greenpeace International.
Over the last twenty years, Morgan has worked with climate change at leading NGOs such as World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Wildlife Foundation (WWF).
Moreover, she has participated in every single COP and served as Review Editor for the 5th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
During the interview, they discuss the importance of climate activism and how NGOs can influence policy decisions.
Morgan starts out by explaining what Greenpeace hopes to achieve at COP26; More ambitious climate targets, increased support for the world’s poorest countries and to stop what it perceives as “false solutions”, such as using offsets.
Furthermore, Morgan explains how Greenpeace works to advance its causes. The NGO’s campaigns to raise consciousness about environmental issues such as curbing commercial whaling are known around the world.
However, campaigning it is not the only tool that Greenpeace has in its armory – it is also litigating both corporations and countries.
Just last month, it achieved a landmark victory, when the German Supreme Court ruled that the government’s national climate protection measures were insufficient.
Further still, Greenpeace investigates corporate corruption and takes to social media platforms to inform the public. For instance, it has successfully exposed corruption in Indonesia’s coal mining sector and logging.
Finally, Morgan and Jørgensen talk about how the transition to carbon free societies can be just and equitable.
