Break the Silos

So much climate work happens in silos. But we can’t win the race against climate change if we’re not working together. Today, we’re breaking the silos.

Internationally acclaimed author Naomi Klein joins her brother, fellow author Seth Klein along with Linda Solomon Wood to discuss the path forward. Plus, Canada’s National Observer columnists Jesse Firempong and Julian Brave NoiseCat on the intersections of race, justice and climate action.

GUESTS:

Julian Brave NoiseCat is a National Observer columnist and writer, as well as Vice President of Policy & Strategy for Data for Progress.
Jesse Firempong is a columnist for National Observer and has worked with Greenpeace and Oxfam as well as on human rights projects in Canada, Ghana and Botswana.
Naomi Klein is a filmmaker, activist and writer. Her most recent book is On Fire: The (Burning) Case for a Green New Deal. She’s currently an Associate Professor of Climate Justice at the University of British Columbia.
Seth Klein is a contributor to National Observer. He’s the author of A Good War: Mobilizing Canada for the Climate Emergency. He is also an adjunct professor with Simon Fraser University’s Urban Studies program, the Director of Strategy with the Climate Emergency Unit, and was the founding director of the British Columbia office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.

Correction to this episode: We wrongly introduce journalists Julian Brave NoiseCat and Jesse Firempong as being "both in their thirties."
