Climate Injustice: Marginalized communities, especially disabled individuals, bear the brunt of climate change and related policies. A fair approach to climate solutions must prioritize their voices to avoid further injustices and protect their livelihoods and culture.
Communities affected by climate change, particularly marginalized and disabled individuals, are facing disproportionate challenges that often get overlooked in environmental policies. The concept of a 'just transition' should not come at the expense of livelihoods and cultural identities. Many people are unaware of the pollution affecting their communities and the debates around it, raising questions about transparency and public awareness. As we explore the climate crisis, it's crucial to amplify the voices of those most impacted and recognize that solutions must include their perspectives to create a truly equitable and sustainable future.
Climate Justice: Hope for a fairer world motivates discussions about race and colonialism. The IPCC connects these issues to climate change, emphasizing their importance. The 'Who's Planet' podcast explores climate justice, encouraging deeper conversations around these critical topics.
Engaging in discussions about important issues like race and colonialism is rooted in hope. This hope drives individuals to seek a fairer world. Recently, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlighted the link between colonialism and climate change, showing how colonial history affects current environmental challenges. It’s crucial to address these connections to understand and combat climate change effectively. For those interested in exploring these topics further, the 'Who's Planet' climate justice podcast offers insightful discussions. This platform encourages conversations about justice, highlighting the need for collective effort in addressing climate issues while acknowledging historical contexts.

Leaked: who profits from celebrity nudes?
Ten years ago, nude images of dozens of A-list celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence and Kirsten Dunst were leaked online following an iCloud hack.
They’re still all over the internet. Lawrence’s hacker went to jail, but her intimate images can be found on dedicated sites – sites that are making a profit.
This week, Eleanor Biggs and Patricia Clarke dive headlong into the mysterious, murky world of so-called “fappening” websites. It’s a cat and mouse story of one woman's fight to get images she never wanted on the internet, taken down for good… and the nefarious actors, from website owners to big tech corporations, that she’s up against.
