This special bonus episode comes to you live from COP30 in Belém, Brazil, where Kal Glanznig and I are on the ground representing Blue Minds, Surfers for Climate and The Good Human Factory. After more than fifty hours of travel to get here, it has been incredibly inspiring to immerse ourselves in the global climate movement and witness so many passionate leaders working together for the future of our planet.

This episode is split into three parts to give you a real behind the scenes look at what COP is, why we are here and the powerful conversations happening inside the Australian Pavilion.

Part One: What COP Is and Why It Matters

We kick things off by breaking down what COP actually is, the scale of this global climate conference and why bringing climate and mental health voices together is so important. We share our intentions for being here with Surfers for Climate and how this experience is shaping our perspective on community, responsibility and the urgent need for action.

Part Two: Live Panel from the Australian Pavilion

You will then hear our live podcast recorded inside the Australian Pavilion featuring powerful voices from across the Pacific and the world.

Our guests include:

• Mesepele Lauti (Tuvalu) @mese94_
• Xiye Bastida (Mexico) @xiyebeara
• Luna Lomitusi (Samoa) @luna_lomitusi

Together, we discuss youth leadership, climate justice, cultural resilience and what it means for communities on the front lines of the climate crisis. It is raw, hopeful and a reminder of why these conversations matter so much.

Part Three: Kal’s Conversation with Nikki Becker

To finish, Kal sits down with Argentinian climate leader Nikki Becker @nickibecker for a powerful one on one chat about activism, lived experience and the role of young people in shaping a better future.

This episode captures the energy, urgency and unity we have felt here at COP30 and we hope it inspires you as much as these conversations have inspired us.

If you enjoy this episode, please share it with a friend and help spread these important voices.
