Gender & Climate – Details, episodes & analysis

It's time to celebrate: As we gather for the 50th and final episode of Gender & Climate, it's time to celebrate the impact we've made together!

In this podcast we amplified voices from around the world, exploring the deep connections between gender and climate change.

In this episode we celebrate the impact we've made and reflect on the diverse topics we've covered: from the vital role of water in our lives to the power of storytelling in driving social change.

I am profoundly grateful to each guest who has shared their expertise and to you, our listeners, for your unwavering support. This podcast has been a labor of love, and as we say goodbye, I am filled with hope for the future. Let's take this moment to acknowledge our collective achievements and look forward to the new opportunities that await.

So, alongside the climate crisis, we have an energy crisis that affects everyone: businesses, individuals, hospitals, etc. Energy is a fundamental element of our world and simultaneously largely responsible for climate change. In this episode, Annika talks to Aurore Dudka about how the lack of energy impacts people differently by their gender.

Aurore is an expert in the economics and sociology of energy innovation.
