About The Podcast

Why Gender And Climate Belong In The Same Conversation

Climate change does not affect everyone in the same way. Our social structures, economic opportunities, identities, access to resources and decision-making power shape how people experience environmental change.

The Gender & Climate podcast creates space for conversations about these connections — bringing together experts, practitioners, researchers, entrepreneurs and changemakers to explore questions that are often overlooked.

Hosted by Annika Degen, the podcast looks beyond individual solutions and explores the systems, structures and relationships that shape our collective future.

“Climate action becomes more powerful when we understand the people, systems and inequalities behind the challenge.”
