On 24 September, Systemic Justice and Greenpeace Netherlands are excited to invite you to the launch celebration of a new podcast series, “Whose planet? The climate justice podcast.”

At the event, we will bring together community activists, thought leaders, and the voices featured in the podcast to discuss the urgent issue of climate justice. The series centres on Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour perspectives, highlighting how those most affected by climate harms are leading the fight for a just and equitable future.

Join us at the launch event to learn more about how climate justice is possible when those most affected lead the way, meet some of the voices behind the podcast and Systemic Justice’s team, and more! Please register here to join.

About “Whose planet? The climate justice podcast”

The world is facing a climate crisis, the impact of which is already clear to see. But this crisis is not experienced equally: worsening air quality, rising sea levels, and the green transition all have a greater impact on society’s most marginalised groups, who don’t have access to the same policymaking power to shape our response to the climate crisis.

“Whose planet? The climate justice podcast” explores how communities are fighting for justice as the world comes to terms with a rapidly changing climate through personal case studies and interviews. Each episode focuses on a different topic – air quality, rising sea levels and the cost of the green transition – and centres the (lived) experience of community activists across the world.

“Whose planet? The climate justice podcast” was co-produced by Systemic Justice and Tortoise Media. 

Date and livestream 

The event will take place online on 24 September 2024 from 17.00 – 18.00 CEST. Participation is free. English captioning, BSL, ASL, and French and Spanish interpretation will be available. We kindly ask you to register here. We look forward to seeing you!
