"The climate crisis has roots in fossil fuels, but at the same time, fossil fuels fund this Russian inversion to Ukraine. So it means this is a fossil fuel war. If we will actually fight against our overall actually dependency on fossil fuels in the same way we will fight against climate change."

Svitlana Krakovska, Ph.D. on Electric Ladies Podcast

With so much geopolitical chaos and dangerous heat waves and other extreme weather, we have vivid reminders that climate change is a security "threat multiplier," as former Defense Undersecretary Sherri Goodman says. How?

Listen to this live recording of a "Fireside Chat on Climate Security" at The Earth Day Women's Summit at Earthx2025 with two extraordinary experts and Electric Ladies Podcast's Joan Michelson about the issues at the intersection of climate change, security and sustainability.

You'll hear from:

· Svitlana Krakovska, Ph.D., the top climate scientist in Ukraine

· Mirian Vilela, Executive Director of Earth Charter International Secretariat & Center for Education for Sustainable Development

· Joan Michelson, Executive Producer of The Earth Day Women's Summit and host of Electric Ladies Podcast.

"We are looking at business and (the) economy and make bigger decisions without looking at it through a lens that sees the interconnectedness of all these social and environmental challenges. [We have] to expand our planetary consciousness and deepen our ethical responsibility with the wellbeing of humans across cultures and nations."
