An interview, and podcast, with Erik Solheim, a global leader on environment, development, and peace. As a former Norwegian Minister of International Development and Minister of the Environment, he is fully aware of the future impacts that the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and pollution will have on the environment and people's lives. Yet, he is optimistic about the opportunities of the transition.
"Being negative rather than positive, being exclusive rather than inclusive" wow, that is so very true and powerfully worded. It really is so easy to fall into negativity and despair, to think of what makes us different versus what makes us alike. This one little phrase has given me a lot to think about! Thank you, Alexander, for breaking this down into easy to read quotes.
Thanks, Noemi. That part of the interview was fascinating: finally climate is in the top of the political agenda and the green parties lose because of the negative, exclusive approach.
“ Together is maybe the most important word in the world because if we don't work together, we will fail.” Excellent quote!
Erik’s positivity mirrors your own and in these extremely concerning times, it’s vitally important to keep it alive.
You’ve formatted his interview very nicely with key parts for this article but the interview is definitely worth the time to listen. Thank you, well done!
Fascinating, inspiring and encouraging interview. It’s so true that more can be accomplished with a positive attitude and working together. We do live in a relatively small, very interconnected world.
