Latest Episodes of Tangelic Talks
Voices from the Frontlines of Climate, Capital, and Change
Tangelic Talks is the media and insight arm of Tangelic — where field experience, policy critique, and systems thinking converge in unfiltered dialogue. This is not climate content for clicks. It’s strategic conversation for those building, funding, and living the transition.
Each episode features grounded insights from leaders on the frontlines — from energy access innovators and policy architects to climate researchers and community organizers across the Global South.
We talk carbon markets. Clean tech. Degrowth. Supply chains. AI. Feminist climate design. Infrastructure failure. And the inconvenient truths no one wants to touch.
No fluff. Just sharp voices and real conversations — across continents, systems, and ideologies.
