Rooted in Place: Black Geographies and the Climate Crisis with Adwoa Amankona

from The Black Circle · host Zoe Cornibert

In this episode, I’m joined by Adwoa Amankona geographer, environmental advocate, and all-round powerhouse to explore how race, space, and privilege shape the climate conversation.We talk Black Geographies, decolonising education, who gets to be seen as an “environmentalist,” and how environmental spaces in the UK often exclude the very communities most impacted.Adwoa also shares her personal journey from growing up in West London, to leading change at UCL, to winning a national dissertation prize on a topic her degree never taught her. This is a conversation about identity, justice, and taking up space on our own terms.
