Do you have time to listen to this podcast? Today we look at how the grip of clock time has become inescapable. The way we view and understand time is at the heart of our economic system - capitalism - and how we are wrecking our health, our communities, and the planet. If we want to radically transform our societies, we need to rediscover time’s connection to the Earth.

In this episode, we turn to Vienna, as it aims to tackle a major source of carbon emissions: housing. The Austrian city has led the way for more than a century on social housing.

This week we turn to Israel’s war on Gaza and the internal discussions it has sparked within the climate movement. While some activists argue against taking a position, others believe fighting climate change demands addressing underlying political injustice.

Compared to most other political movements, Greens have a track record of inclusive politics, and have long welcomed refugees and Muslims into their ranks. But without a comprehensive approach to the issue of Islamophobia, Green parties sometimes fall into patterns of institutionalised prejudice.Written by Samir Jeraj.Read by Julia Lagoutte.Text version: https://www.greeneuropeanjournal.eu/are-greens-speaking-out-against-islamophobia/ Follow us on socials: @greeneujournal.Green Wave is produced by the Green European Journal.

This week, we turn to health. More specifically, the new European Health Union. Though a step in the right direction, public health advocates expect more from the EU’s newly established trans-national means to prevent and respond to health risks.

Veganism, the ethical choice, was once born of necessity. Today’s regular omnivore diet was previously a luxury for the wealthy, ill afforded by peasants. Preserving food was a means of subsistence. Can pickling and jamming traditions, now making a comeback, be recognised for their cultural heritage in addition to gentrified sauerkraut and cherry compote recipes? Written by Anka Wandzel.

This week's piece is from our new edition, Aligning Stars: Routes to a Different Europe. The Ventotene Manifesto, named after the Italian islet where its authors were imprisoned when they wrote it, is regarded as one of the foundational texts of the European Union, presenting federalism as a way to prevent future wars. Antonia Ferri, with the help of historian Antonella Braga, delves into the intertwined private and political lives of women who played a major role in its spread across Europe.Written by Antonia Ferri.Read by Julia Lagoutte.Text version: https://www.greeneuropeanjournal.eu/the-women-of-ventotene/ This article is from our latest edition Aligning Stars: Routes to a Different Europe.

From dangerous extremists to silly children, how the media portrays climate activists such as Last Generation and Just Stop Oil is the topic of today’s episode. While those taking direct action are accused of alienating policymakers and public opinion, a study of mainstream media in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy suggests that the othering and demonisation of climate activists are neither new nor unbiased.Written by Stella Levantesi.Read by Julia Lagoutte.Text version: https://www.greeneuropeanjournal.eu/enemies-of-society-how-the-media-portray-climate-activists/ Follow us on socials: @greeneujournal.Green Wave is produced by the Green European Journal.

Housing is the focus in this episode - something we all need but which is increasingly expensive and in short supply, due in large part to the financialisation of the housing market. Meanwhile some renovations to make housing greener end up making rent more costly for those who can least afford it. What’s the solution?
