It's the final Episode!

We speak to Gender Specialist, Kristina Neil and Dr. Dalea Bean, Head of the Institute for Gender and Development Studies, Mona Campus Unit on the connected topics of Gender & Climate.

For successful climate adaptation and a just transition, we have to include gender from the planning stage. We can't have success without it- when success looks so different for everyone. We touch on intersectionality and the ever present need for Climate Justice.

This may be the end of the podcast season, but not the end of the election season. We have a lot of work to do to see climate more present on the ballot.

Follow here the work of the 34 environmental organisations that took leaders to task to emphasize climate issues on the campaign trail.

Keep the conversation going - open dialogues within your own communities - Let's keep Climate on the Ballot!

Everyone complains about the traffic. But it's not as simple of an issue as it may seem. It goes to the heart of how we plan our cities, what we prioritize and how we zone- residential vs. commercial, concrete vs. agricultural.

When we think about climate change, specific to these cities, it's clear we need to make changes as well.

What do we want our cities to look like? How do we want to travel?

We talk to Dorraine Duncan founder of Island City Lab and Monique Lewis, Urban and Regional Planner at the Planning Institute of Jamaica about the intricacies of city planning at the macro and community level.

Climate Change is not just an environmental issue, it's a public health issue that affects us all. Whether it's airborne/waterborne diseases, industrial contamination, or even access to healthcare during natural disasters, we cannot separate our own well being from the health of our environment.

This episode we discuss Health and Environment with Linnees Green-Baker, Public Health Inspector and Climate Change Fellow, as well as Edward Cunningham Environmental Health Engineer and member of the JCCYC. Join the conversation!
