Listen now
Description
Welcome back to season 3 of How Could We?, a podcast by EIT Climate-KIC. Inspired by conversations we had with experts about the climate emergency, this season we’re digging into three themes that occupy the minds of many people in the climate change community: Climate Narratives, Confusion & Crisis and Radical Collaboration. In this first episode, we talk to Neha Misra, a storyteller, climate justice advocate and a visual artist. We ask Neha how we can build stories of a future worth living in, talk about how art helps us tell the story of climate change, and discuss the importance of including - and valuing - the work of artists and diverse voices.  In this incredible interview, Neha thoughtfully shares her experiences and sources of inspiration. She says, “it is not ironic that we’re living in a burning world with burnout human beings' '.   We especially recommend listening to the end of the episode, as Neha shares her beautiful, eye-watering poem, “Enough”. Check out Neha’s website and find out more about her work, including at The OpEd Project and Remote Energy. In this episode, Neha also mentions: Design Science Studio The Public Voices Fellowship on the Climate Crisis The Center for Environmental Justice at the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum  The Women’s Environmental Leadership Summit 2023 To Live and Breathe: Women and Environmental Justice in Washington, D.C.  The Climate Burnout Report 2023  The IPCC Report on Climate Colonialism This episode was presented by Anne-Sophie Garrigou & Stephanie Klotz and produced by Bárbara Mendes-Jorge.
