A River Runs Through It
The Congo Basin, the world’s second-largest rainforest, is vital to global climate health. But unlike the Amazon, its biggest threat isn’t farming—it’s the demand for minerals driving the Green Transition. Could the race to electrify the world cost us the Congo?
Jaap van der Waarde, WWF’s Conservation Director for the region, explores how the demand for rare minerals risks tipping the Basin’s fragile ecosystem—and what must change to protect it.

Can Profit Help Save the Rainforest?
Can profit and planet go hand in hand? As public climate financing falls short, attention turns to the private sector. But can businesses do good for the environment while still making a return?

Mutually Assured Madness?
We’re living through a moment of global upheaval—where the old order is crumbling, and the future feels dangerously uncertain. At the heart of this instability is the evolving, uneasy relationship between the U.S. and China: two powers with the ambition and capacity to shape whatever comes next, yet with fundamentally different worldviews.
In this episode of New Thinking for a New World, we hear from Chandran Nair, founder of the Global Institute for Tomorrow, a Pan-Asian think tank. Speaking from an Asian perspective, Nair argues that China may be more clear-eyed than the West about how the world should work. Is he right? Listen and decide for yourself.
