Outline: What is this Podcast all about?
Climate Change is a global crisis. It affects people from all around the world. However, men and women are affected differently, due to their gender-differentiated relative power roles and responsibilities at the household and community levels. Therefore I am so much looking forward to talking to my guests who'll be coming from all around the world. Zambia, Philippines, Mexico, Nigeria, United States, England, India, Iran - you name it.
