  • Summary

  • Low-lying islands are on the frontline of the climate crisis. Island communities and their cultures are at risk of being lost due to rising sea levels, driven by the actions and failures of the Global North.

    In this episode, you’ll hear from the campaigners in the Caribbean island of Bonaire, who are holding the Dutch government to account to protect their land and cultural heritage. We’ll consider the racism inherent within the climate crisis, and the climate justice organisers that are fighting against this. And we’ll discuss the intersection between climate disaster and disability rights.


    Guests:

    Danique Martis, social worker and community organiser, Bonaire

    Onnie Emerenciana, owner of Kunuku farm, Bonaire

    Michai Robertson, Research Fellow, Climate and Sustainability, Overseas Development Institute

    Erica Njuguna, youth climate justice organiser, Nairobi

    Tatu Hey, climate justice organiser, Berlin

    Julia Watts Belser, Professor of Religious Studies and Disability Studies, Georgetown University

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