How can we fight racism whilst fighting climate change?

A lighthearted and witty exploration of some of the big questions that come up when trying to 'walk the green line'. This week’s episode examines the link between climate change and race on a global scale. Helping us tackle the question “How can we fight racism and support equality whilst fighting climate change?” is Fourth year medical student, climate justice and antiracism activist, writer and host of the YIKES podcast, Mikaela Loach, and friend of the show, comedian, presenter, host of BBC radio 1 network, Eshaan Akbar. Hosted by Juliet Davenport, climate scientist, renewable pioneer, businesswoman, environmental activist and founder of the UK’s first 100% renewable electricity supplier, this podcast invites a panel of comedians and experts to tackle some of the common (and quirky!) questions that pop to mind when trying to live a greener life. Topics covered: - Why effects of climate change are being most felt in the less wealthy countries of the global south. - Climate justice, and what it means. - The role of the media in accurately, or inaccurately representing the climate movement - The erasure and or tokenism of Indigenous, heritage or black and brown voices in the climate movement - Decolonizing conservation and what that means - Why dismantling capitalism and colonialist structures will benefit our climate - The importance of centring justice, and getting rid of this notion that any climate work is good work.
