Description
Can a people-powered movement really win a global fight? In this episode, the unprecedented wave of climate justice cases from around the world come together in a single location - the beautiful Lofoten Islands of Norway. From the American youth activists who are suing Trump, to the Swiss Senior Women who have come out of retirement to hold their own government to account, a camp unlike any other brings this global movement together. In an age of planetary challenges which transcend national borders, has the time come to move into the era of global citizenship? We explore this pressing idea, and discover how technology and social media may not just be making the world smaller - this communication revolution may also be changing the nature of power itself.
