Podcast: Heat of the Moment Season Two

Oct 21, 2021

The climate change crisis can feel so formidable, so daunting, that instead of mobilizing people to action, it engenders paralysis. What could we mortals possibly do to prevent the calamity? A fair bit, it turns out.

In season two of Heat of the Moment, a podcast from Foreign Policy and the Climate Investment Funds, host John D. Sutter talks to the big thinkers and doers in the fight against climate change. Listen to stories of how they are transforming the way we live, work, and even eat—and learn what change is possible through the power of collective action.

Hosted by CNN contributor John D. Sutter, Heat of the Moment tells the stories of the people on the front lines of the fight against climate change.

The Climate Investment Funds is a nonpartisan champion of climate action. Political views and opinions expressed in this series do not necessarily represent those of the Climate Investment Funds or its partners.
