The Unequal Climate

In this episode, we spoke with ecologist, educator, and conservationist Dr. Catherine Woodward, whose decades of work in Latin America offer a firsthand perspective on the unequal realities of a changing climate. Our conversation explores a difficult paradox: for many people in developing countries, climate change can feel distant compared with the immediate work of meeting basic needs, yet climate disruption is increasingly affecting access to food, water, livelihoods, and other necessities. Together, we consider what happens when environmental change and human well-being become inseparable.
