How storytelling can honour forgotten climate conflicts
Listen now
Description
Ever met a mathematician turned war reporter? Yep, neither us! Until we met Anjan Sundaram, a war reporter turned climate reporter, who joins Climate Curious at TED 2024 to share his work sharing the stories of indigenous communities defending our planet's last pristine ecosystem, particularly in Mexico. Anjan shares the dangers faced by environmental defenders, the cause of these conflicts (large-scale industrial projects, corruption, and cartels), and the urgent need for global awareness and solidarity for these forgotten climate conflicts. Sundaram also reflects on his career shift from mathematics to frontline reporting, and shares the motivations behind his work.  Follow Climate Curious:NewsletterInstagramTwitterLinkedInFacebook Suggest a topic you’d like Climate Curious to coverCreated by TEDxLondonProduced by Josie ColterEdit, mix, master by Ben BeheshtyCurated by Maryam Pasha Hosted by Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst   Hosted on Acast.
