We're all living through the climate crisis. But we're not all in it together. So what exactly does climate change have to do with social injustice? And how can we fix it? This is climate justice explained.
We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What can we do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.
