The Covid-19 pandemic halted a lot of activity, giving the environment a brief reprieve, but with governments opening up economies again, climate change activism is more important than ever.
We start the show by discussing these trends with Inés Pousadela, who worked on CIVICUS's recent State of Civil Society Report. She explains how activists have become creative in their methods, but many still face lethal threats in their work.
Hear what a day in their life sounds like for Perk Pomeyie, a youth environmental activist from bustling Ghana, who has mobilised young people for the Fridays for Future mobilisations.
Later we speak to Munnira Katongole, a South African environmental activist fighting for social change and climate justice. She speaks to the historical and intersectional nature of the climate justice fight, and how we are running out of time.
We close the show by telling you how you can get practically involved in your community to make a difference.
