Insurance. Yes, itâs geeky, itâs niche. But itâs the secret lever we never knew we needed. The insurance world holds the keys to halt new fossil fuel projects in their tracks. Thatâs because if you canât insure the work, it canât go ahead. TEDxLondonâs Climate Curious speaks to two campaigners from Insure our Future, Isabelle L'HĂ©ritier and Hilda Flavia Nakabuye on the wins from their recent week of global action across 31 countries and five continents.

What does malaria have to do with climate change? In short, a hotter planet means more bugs. And more extreme weather events means more flood water, which mosquitos adore. But thanks to incredible efforts, lots of solutions are in action to help right the historic injustice of malaria, which sits right at the intersection of climate and health. United to Beat Malaria's and United Foundation's executive director Margaret McDonnell joins Climate Curious to share the progress.

Photos can convey a message in an instant. But how do you photograph something which day-to-day is invisible to see: air pollution? A new stunning collection of photography on air pollution is compelling action on climate change. From the bustling streets of Indonesia to the industrial heartlands of Poland, these photos capture the stark effects of dirty air on the communities hit hardest, as well as spotlighting solutions already making a difference to people.

Reliable, clean water is an essential part of life. But what would you do if your community was hit by a storm, damaging essential infrastructure? Or shifting rainfall patterns or longer droughts meant water was more scarce? Thatâs why Pacific Islanders in Tuvalu are trialling solar distillation farms that can produce 75 litres of drinking water per day, as well as tackling water storage at the household level. Climate Curious speaks with Engineers Without Borders New Zealandâs Emma Coombe in Tuvalu. The learning? The more storage, the better!

Surprisingly hardy corals called âsuper coralsâ show great promise in helping communities in the Pacific Islands rebuild coral reefs, says Dr. Austin Bowden-Kerby, a Fijian marine biologist. Super corals are able to withstand much hotter water temperatures, and some can even survive in water up to 35 degrees celsius! Meaning they are much more resilient to the effects of climate change and a warming planet than corals on regular reefs. Climate Curious speaks to Austin to hear about how Pacific Island communities are uniting to save local coral habitats by planting bleaching resistant corals, as part of a highly promising, super coral gardening program!

Low-lying Pacific Nation Tuvalu is not taking the prospect of going underwater lightly. In fact â theyâve already digitised their land, archived their culture, and moved their government online. The man behind the digital nation campaign and Tuvaluan politician, Simon Kofe MP, joins Climate Curious to share what Tuvaluâs resilience and wisdom teach the rest of the world, asks what happens to a country without land, and encourages us to think of ourselves as a global community, not individual nations.

Itâs smelly, it lasts roughly 12 years in the atmosphere and has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide. Methane is an underestimated greenhouse gas produced in large part by food systems, organic waste and weirdly, cow burps. Biochemical engineer and CEO of Global Methane Hub, Marcelo Mena, joins Climate Curious to break down how we tackle this invisible climate villain. Recorded live at Climate Week NYC.
