Episode 43: Uncovering Corporate Lies, Climate Justice, and Colonialism

In this episode, I spoke with Ms. Anuradha Mittal, the founder and executive director of the non-profit, the Oakland Institute, a policy think tank known for its research on land rights, development justice, and anti-neocolonialism.

We discussed how real climate solution-building requires the inclusion of marginalized groups, and how both the youth and the public are placated by manipulative language coming from the wealthiest and most powerful.
