About This Podcast
Climate conversations about power, land, and liberation.
This isn’t climate talk as usual. This is environmental justice.
Host Shilpi Chhotray goes beyond emissions to talk power, land, and liberation—evolving what climate solutions really look like.
Her guests include people who’ve gone toe-to-toe with petrochemical giants, mobilized millions into a movement, restored entire ecosystems, and risked it all for climate justice.
This is about the people powering the movement. The real, scalable solutions. And how we can not only survive the next three years, but build a future that truly works for people and the planet.
