Clean power: is green energy all that green?

  • Summary

  • When it comes to tackling the climate crisis, some governments have recognised the scale of the issue. But what happens when you don’t put justice at the centre of green policies? This episode looks at the transition to net zero, and what needs to be done to ensure that everyone benefits from a more sustainable environment.

    This episode explores these inequalities, hearing from communities who are disproportionately negatively impacted by green solutions. These include the Sámi Reindeer population standing up to governments to protect the land they have used for centuries to herd their reindeer, and disability activists fighting to cooperate internationally against the marginalisation of disabled people in policy spaces.

    Guests:

    Beaska Niillas, politician, Sámi Parliament

    Eva Fjellheim, researcher, journalist, activist

    Matti Blind Berg, Chairman, Swedish Sámi Association and reindeer herder

    Anna Landre, disability justice activist and scholar

    Magda Boulabiza, policy and advocacy adviser at the European Network Against Racism

    Whose planet? is hosted by Nani Jansen Reventlow, founder of Systemic Justice, and produced by Tortoise Media.
