About this listen

Climate change doesn’t affect us all equally. The myth that environmental crises impact everyone the same way masks the harsh reality faced by marginalised communities, particularly in the global south.

In this episode, we bring our perspectives to explore how climate change amplifies structural inequalities rooted in a history of colonialism and systemic racism. We explore the disparities between the global north and south, using examples like nearly expired vaccine donations to Jamaica and the uneven socio-political impacts of tourism.
