Samjhana Bista on At Risk on the Frontlines: The Untold Story of Nepal’s Environmental Human Rights Defenders

In this episode, Khushi and Samjhana spotlight the often-unseen struggles and strengths of Environmental Human Rights Defenders (EHRDs): community activists at the forefront of resisting environmental harm and advocating for human rights. They unpack the multifaceted challenges EHRDs face, from threats by powerful actors to the weight of social barriers. They explore gaps in national policy, the crucial role of support systems, and the potential for change through global intervention.

Samjhana Bista is a researcher and practitioner of sustainable consumption, nature-based adaptation to climate, and local policy solutions to climate change impacts. With 20+ years of experience in natural resource management, policy development, and programme leadership, she has supported government institutions across countries like Germany, Ghana, and Tanzania, and held senior roles in national and international NGOs, including the Country Director at DCA Nepal.
