Climate Rising podcast gives you a behind-the-scenes view into how some of the world's best and brightest leaders are confronting climate change. The CEO of the World Wildlife Fund shares how non-profits can encourage companies to take bolder action on climate change. Lauren Summer is a correspondent for NPR, and Langie Poeva Chirel Jackson is a reporter for The Guardian. We invited two award-winning journalists to discuss reporting on climate change in their part of the world.
Twenty of the world’s richest countries – mostly in the Global North – are responsible for 80 percent of the carbon pollution that’s driving extreme weather and supercharging natural disasters. Yet poorer countries in the Global South are experiencing climate-induced disasters first and worst. Wealthier and whiter countries in the Global North are being hit by climate disruption as well, but they also have more resources to adapt. We talk with two award-winning journalists, one from each hemisphere, about covering climate change in their part of the world and bridging the disconnect that exists between North and South.
