While leaders, climate activists, and experts are gearing up to open dialogues on climate change at the COP27 in Egypt, staying well-informed about the climate crisis has become imperative. Sustainability is no longer an option but a necessity for the survival of all living things. 

Along with general podcasts increasingly covering climate and a ramp-up of new series or limited series, here are some great environmental-centric listens you cannot miss.

Catalyst with Shayle Kann

How cheap can clean energy get? Will artificial intelligence speed up climate solutions? Where is the smart money going into climate technologies? By asking these big questions, host Shayle Kann creates a dialogue on how to decarbonize the planet, and explains the climate tech world with prominent experts, investors, researchers, and executives. One of the latest episodes highlights the intersection of climate tech and bluetech, the range of technologies that touch the oceans and may prove invaluable to climate solutions.
