Episode 3: Taraqqi kee tareeki: What South Asia Gets Wrong About The Environment - Part 1


Listen Later

As the world celebrates World Environment Day, we take a closer look at how Pakistan subverts the environmentalist paradigm with climate change expert Fatima Yamin. We learn why environmental conservation is so poorly misunderstood and badly managed in favor of our aspirations towards development (taraqqi) for  betterment (Khushhaali), when in reality, these very aspirations are threatening to regress our lives and incite conflict both within the country, as well as the region.
