This month, audiences can screen Net Zero Speaks with Rob Jackson on Planet Classroom. This film is curated by the Protect Our Planet Movement and Planet Classroom.
In Net Zero Speaks, Rob Jackson—Stanford professor, Chair of the Global Carbon Project, and author of Into the Clear Blue Sky—joins climate activist Rida Merchant to discuss bold strategies for reversing climate change. This episode, produced by Sadie Judd, explores methane reduction as the fastest path to climate repair, equitable solutions for vulnerable communities, and practical actions for achieving net-zero emissions. Blending science and storytelling, Jackson offers a hopeful vision with actionable steps for individuals, communities, and policymakers to restore the atmosphere and create a sustainable future.

What are the three main takeaways for the Net Zero audience from your interview?
My 3 key takeaways for the Net Zero audience are:
First, I would say the urgency of cutting methane emissions, which have a stronger short-term impact on climate than CO2. Second, the need for global cooperation to address shared challenges. Finally his comments on the potential of innovative technologies, like carbon capture, to complement natural solutions. These insights show that individual actions, collective efforts, and technological advancements together can drive meaningful progress toward a sustainable, net-zero future.
