Episode Synopsis

Rafi and Adam are joined by Tzeporah Berman, a trailblazing environmental activist, who founded the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative. Tzeporah was recently named by Time Magazine as one of the World’s 100 most influential climate leaders in business in 2024, alongside Bill Gates, Greg Jackson of Octopus, and Niels Christensen, CEO of Lego. Previously, Tzeporah co-directed the International Climate and Energy Program at Greenpeace and negotiated major policy victories like the Great Bear Rainforest Agreement and the Canadian Boreal Forest Initiative, which together protected over 40 million hectares of old-growth forests. Tzeporah’s journey began almost by accident in the early 1990s when she was arrested during a highly controversial logging blockade in Canada’s ancient rainforests. What has followed is a 30-year career of powerful environmental advocacy, now as International Program Director at Stand.earth and Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative.   Hosted on Acast.
