Environmentally Speaking

Welcome to Environmentally Speaking. The environment is everything, literally, and on this podcast, no environmental topic is off-limits. We are living in unprecedented times. Times of threats to our environment, our health, and our freedom. Environmental degradation has resulted in the loss of livelihoods, lives, cultures, knowledges, and heritages. We are in the midst of a global-scale environmental crisis…climate change. What are our leaders doing to fight against this? What are you doing to fight against this? For our returning listeners, we have rebranded. So you would have been with us from what is now Season 1, CovidChat, where we discussed the multidimensional impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.

S1.1 A Post-Covid World” - How has the world changed with the COVID-19 pandemic?

June 06, 2020 • Eleanor Terrelonge; Mario Christie; Danielle Nembhard; Dainalyn Swaby • Season 1 • Episode 1

The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in major and for some countries, unprecedented changes. Our collective will as a society as well as various infrastructures has been put to the test. We have had many businesses having to close their doors because of significant decreases in revenue. This has also resulted in job losses with varying levels of impact on those affected. These are just a few of the impacts we are experiencing due to the positive feedback loop created by our response to the pandemic.

Listen to climate change advocates Eleanor Terrelonge and Emme Kristi chat with an environmental scientist, Danielle Nembhard, and environmental advocate and Chevening Scholar Dainalyn Swaby about how the world has changed since Covid-19 and what are some of the major impacts that need to be addressed as lessons learned.
