Episode 2: Africa's Young Climate Activists and the Climate Action Agenda ( With Climate Justice Activist Hamira Kobusingye)
Young people’s unprecedented mobilization around the world shows the massive power they possess to hold decision-makers accountable. Their message is clear: the older generation has failed, and it is the young who will pay in full — with their very futures.Young people are not only victims of climate change. They are also valuable contributors to climate action. They are agents of change, entrepreneurs and innovators. Whether through education, science or technology, young people are scaling up their efforts and using their skills to accelerate climate action.
Episode 1: The Role of the Media in Championing Climate Action ( with journalist Raymond Mujuni)
The media is an important player in climate change communication – the general population does not read scientific reports, specialist websites and blogs, or the reports of the IPCC. Although in theory, the ‘facts’ of climate change science should be reported in a straightforward way by newspapers and television networks, considerable differences exist between the editorial lines taken by different media organizations about the reality and seriousness of climate change. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there is a strong relationship between the political perspective of a media organization and its position on climate change.
