• #50: Gender, Climate, and the Road Ahead
    Sep 2 2024

    It's time to celebrate: As we gather for the 50th and final episode of Gender & Climate, it's time to celebrate the impact we've made together! What began as a simple idea rooted in my master's thesis has blossomed into a powerful platform. In this podcast we amplified voices from around the world, exploring the deep connections between gender and climate change.

    In this episode we celebrate the impact we've made and reflect on the diverse topics we've covered: from the vital role of water in our lives to the power of storytelling in driving social change.

    I am profoundly grateful to each guest who has shared their expertise and to you, our listeners, for your unwavering support. This podcast has been a labor of love, and as we say goodbye, I am filled with hope for the future. Let's take this moment to acknowledge our collective achievements and look forward to the new opportunities that await.

  • #45: Fiona Doherty about Children bearing the brunt of Climate Change
    Feb 5 2024

    In this episode we look at a crucial question: Who bears the brunt of climate change?

    Join us as Fiona Doherty looks at how children are disproportionately affected by extreme weather events. We confront ourselves with the complexities of this challenging issue and highlight the urgency of understanding and addressing its far-reaching consequences.


    In this episode we look at the links between extreme weather events and child, early and forced marriage (CEFM), the long-term impact of CEFM on worldviews, political events and the resolution of the multiple crises we face, and what we can do about it.


    Fiona Doherty joining us today is an expert in this field. She is a doctoral candidate at the College of Social Work at The Ohio State University and her research focuses on understanding and addressing the impacts of climate change on the well-being of vulnerable groups and rural communities.

    As we kick off 2024 with a bold episode, we look forward to all that is to come this year - it will be a year of great change.
