In this episode we tackle the important topic of energy and human rights, and must preface this by addressing the fact that much has changed with the geopolitical climate since the time of recording. While much of this material remains relevant, we try to be mindful of these dynamics while presenting everyone with critical insights and valuable conversations.

We are joined by Eniko Horvath to discuss energy and human rights, something that impacts nearly everyone one on the planet, whether realize or not. Eniko’s goal is to work to support those organizations that integrate human rights into climate action through research, strategy and thought-leadership.
