BIPOC women in the global south are necessarily at the forefront of climate activism, as it is their communities that are the most adversely affected by climate change. This week's International Women's Day show features Indigenous rights activist Daiara Tukano, of the Tukano people from the north western Amazon, on the impacts of climate fires & deforestation there.
Also, Ugandan youth climate striker Vanessa Nakate and Isanti (Santee) Dakota & Ho-Chunk nations and tar sands resister Rose Whipple - who both represented as a youth organisers against fossil fuel extraction at the UN Climate Summit in Madrid last year.
