You care about climate change. You're just not sure your choices actually matter. Climate Actually is here to show you they do, and exactly how to use them. Hosted by climate scientist Dr. Kimberly Nicholas (Lund University, author of Under the Sky We Make, creator of the SHIFT guide in collaboration with Project Drawdown), each episode sits down with a real person putting one of five research backed "climate superpowers" into practice: as a citizen, professional, investor, consumer, or role model. Together they work through the facts, sit with the feelings that come with facing the crisis, and land on clear actions you can take too. You have more climate power than you think. This show helps you use that well.Copyright 2026 Kimberly Nicholas & Daring Media 社会科学 科学

    • Meet your host: Dr Kimberly Nicholas, climate scientist at Lund University and creator of the SHIFT guide to high impact climate action.
    • The show's approach: facts, feelings, and action, used together to face the climate crisis rather than avoid it.
    • The five climate superpowers: citizen, professional, investor, consumer, and role model.
    • Why it matters: if you earn around $38,000 USD a year or more, you're in the world's top 10% of earners, a group responsible for roughly half of all household carbon emissions.
    • What's coming: real people sharing their successes and setbacks as they take on high impact climate action, one superpower at a time.

    How to find a bank that doesn't invest in fossil fuels
    2026/08/17
    Could your bank account be one of your biggest climate superpowers?Most people never think to check who their bank lends to or invests in, but switching to a fossil-free bank is ranked as the highest-impact climate action you can take with your money in the SHIFT guide.In this episode, host Kim talks to Matt, a First Direct/HSBC customer in the UK, who discovers his bank's fossil fuel financing for the first time, live, on the call, and what he found when he compared fossil-free alternatives.They cover why banking matters so much more than most people realize, how to check your own bank's fossil funding score, and the practical steps for switching to a climate-friendly bank without losing your direct debits, your mortgage payments or missing any bills.To find out more about whether your bank funds fossil fuels or if you'd like to switch: see SHIFT.Subscribe or follow wherever you get your podcasts to catch every episode.For more information and material from the episode, visit climateactually.com.Funding for Climate Actually comes from Formas, the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development, Communications Grant #2021-02906ResourcesBanking on climate chaosBank.green Kim’s Substack: Break up with your mega-bank Fair Finance GuideEthical Consumer, template to tell your bank why you leftKim’s letter to Bank of America on why she closed her account there.UK Current Account Switch ServiceReferences cited in this episodeSwitching to a fossil-free bank is the highest-impact investor action in SHIFT: Kim Nicholas and Project Drawdown, The Super High-Impact Initiative for Fixing Tomorrow (SHIFT) "Bank fossil-free" action page.Source: SHIFTWorld's 65 largest banks committed $906 billion to fossil fuel financing in 2025, an 8% increase on 2024.Source: Banking on Climate Chaos87% of that financing flows through six financial centres (US, Canada, Japan, China, UK, EU): Banking on Climate Chaos.Source: Banking on Climate ChaosHSBC has committed $77.8 billion to fossil fuel financing since 2021, ranking 21st among global bank funders.Source: Banking on Climate ChaosHSBC financing since 2021 includes Saudi Aramco ($1.8bn), ExxonMobil ($1.5bn) and TransCanada Pipelines ($1.5bn): Banking on Climate Chaos.Source: Banking on Climate ChaosSwitching to a fossil-free bank is more effective in countries that have better regulation: Theodor F Cojoianu et al.

  • How to vote for climate action

    How to vote for climate action
    2026/08/17
    Why is voting one of the most powerful things you can do for the climate?Most people rank recycling as a climate action ahead of voting, but research has found that voting for a pro-climate candidate could matter far more than your personal emissions.In this episode, host Kim talks to Kate, a former construction sustainability manager turned Environmental Voting Project volunteer, about why so many climate-minded people don't vote consistently, and what to actually do about it."I think people are really starting to attend to the problem, but everybody doesn't know what to do,” Kate said.They cover how to register and plan to vote, how to identify climate leaders on your ballot using tools like the Congressional Scorecard and OpenSecrets, and how Kate is helping expand the climate vote, one handwritten postcard at a time.Subscribe or follow wherever you get your podcasts to catch every episode.To find out more about voting for climate action, see SHIFT: https://jointheshift.earth/guideFor more information and material from the episode, visit climateactually.com.Funding for Climate Actually comes from Formas, the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development, Communication Grant #2021-02906.Register & plan to voteVote.gov — register to vote (US)US Vote Foundation — find upcoming election dates (US)Swedish voting guideCheck candidates' climate recordsLeague of Conservation Voters Congressional Scorecard — US, searchable by zip code or representative name, filterable by climate issueClimate Action Network Europe — MEP scorecards, EuropeSociety for Nature Conservation election compass — SwedenNo Fossil Fuel Money — check if a candidate has pledged not to take fossil fuel donationsOpenSecrets — track fossil fuel industry funding by candidate (US)Get involved / help others voteEnvironmental Voter Project — turns non-voting environmentalists into consistent voters (US); Kate's organisation featured in this episodeReferences cited in this episode"Most Americans are not consistent voters; these intermittent voters often determine the outcome of elections."Source: Pew Research CenterA pro-climate vote in Canada in 2019 saved 162 times more climate pollution than a year of recycling, based on the policies enacted by the winning party and the number of voters who supported them. Equivalent to taking 14 typical petrol cars off the road for a year.Source: Wynes et al., 2019, study, via We Can Fix ItWhen 965 North Americans were asked to name the most effective action they could take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, fewer than 5% named a political action like voting. Twice as many named recycling.Source: Climatic Change study89% of 130,000 people surveyed across 125 countries want to see more political climate action.Source: Our World in Data, citing Nature Climate Change studyIn Virginia: 67% are worried about global warming, 69% support transitioning the US economy to 100% clean energy by 2050, and 70% support requiring fossil fuel companies to pay a carbon tax.Source: Yale Climate Opinion Maps (Jennifer Marlon et al)Virginia voters will elect 1 US senator and 11 members of the US House of Representatives in 2026.
