YOUTHPOD- A Youth Cymru Podcast

The Climate Shift Podcast, hosted by Sam and Lara, takes a closer look at what climate action truly makes a difference in the episode From Protests to Policy: What Climate Action Actually Works?Through discussions on activism, government policy, and community-led change, the podcast explores which strategies are creating real environmental impact and how individuals and organisations can turn awareness into effective action.

The Climate Shift Podcast, hosted by Sam and Lara, explores the growing emotional impact of the climate crisis, with this episode focusing on climate anxiety.Through honest conversations, personal stories, and expert insights, Sam and Lara discuss how fear, uncertainty, and eco-anxiety are affecting people today, while also highlighting practical ways to stay informed, hopeful, and motivated to create change.

The tables turn as we interview the adults to hear their side of the story and their experience with the changes in climate and environment. We ask them to talk about the changes they have seen in their lives and what they think about the future. This is their chance to tell us what they know and what they think went wrong.

We share the honest feelings and thoughts of young people today around climate change and the environment. Instead of looking at boring stats, we talk about the stress and hope of growing up in a changing world. It’s a look at what it’s really like to plan for a future when things feel so uncertain.

Is social media a tool for real change, or is it just for show? This episode looks at how digital social platform apps like TikTok and Instagram change the way we talk about the environment. We look at whether viral trends actually help the planet or if they just spread confusing information.
