Can the fierce wars of today end in peace?

Is your feed full of wild weather, climate headlines, and a barrage of hot takes? Same. I'm meteorologist Johanna Wagstaff, and on our podcast, What on Earth, my team and I break down the actual science behind the news. We unpack the big climate and weather stories, explore and scrutinize real solutions, and reveal a little wonder about our planet along the way. No doom scrolling, no judging, just facts you can trust.

Find and follow What on Earth every Saturday wherever you get your podcasts. This is a CBC podcast. Welcome to Ideas, I'm Nala Ayed, and welcome to the final episode in our series, Inventing Peace. These panels were recorded in the summer of 2025. They've explored the history and legacy of several landmark peace agreements of the 1990s.

Now we look at the current moment. Episode 5 is about inventing peace in the 21st century. Peace is not the absence of war. It is a virtue, a state of mind. A disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.
