Welcome to Your Planet - a new podcast series from AFP brought to you in association with The Conversation.
Our planet is facing unprecedented challenges from the climate crisis, but don’t despair because we’re here to inspire and inform you.
From the global south to the global north…We’ll delve into the solutions, examine their potential and analyse how they aim to lead us into a more sustainable future.
For this first season we will also keep a close eye on how they relate to those crucial nine environmental planetary boundaries that scientists say must not be crossed.
Whether you’re an environmental enthusiast, a concerned citizen, or just curious about the future of our planet subscribe now and join us for Your Planet from AFP, coming soon.
Host: Anna Cunningham. Executive producer: Michaëla Cancela-Kieffer. Editing: Camille Kauffman. Sound design: Nicolas Vair with Irma Cabrero-Abanto and Sebastian Villanueva

Welcome back to Your Planet a podcast series from AFP brought to you in association with The Conversation, that delves into solutions for addressing climate change. In previous episodes we’ve delved deep into the earth’s epoch to uncover what it tells us about where our earth is now, we’ve stepped back in time to the 1980s to understand what lessons can be learned from the crisis of the ozone layer… and we’ve examined carbon capture and the nuclear dilemma…
This episode looks into the future of the world’s forests, and how important they are to our planet’s stability.
But could climate projects involving forest conservation- those that promise to offset our carbon emissions - ultimately be the wrong solution for the climate crisis?
The concept behind "carbon credits" has taken a major hit recently as scientific research has repeatedly shown claims of reduced emissions under the schemes are often hugely overestimated -- or simply non-existent.
Please read this article in The Conversation about how the way scientists calculate the amount of CO2 that is captured by trees for carbon capture projects.
