A People’s Climate

This isn’t climate talk as usual. This is environmental justice.

The climate crisis is here—and the solutions being pushed? They’re failing. Tech gimmicks, shallow policy fixes, and corporate greenwashing won’t save us.

What will? People power.

The communities on the front lines are fighting for their lives and our future. They’re the ones with real solutions—not just for the 1 percent, but for everyone.

Host Shilpi Chhotray has spent nearly a decade alongside these communities. Her guests have gone toe-to-toe with the biggest polluters on the planet, built movements in the millions, and restored entire ecosystems.

The future we need is being built from the ground up. Not by corporations. Not by billionaires. By us. The people demanding justice, reclaiming power, and rebuilding what’s been broken.

A People’s Climate is presented by The Nation in partnership with Counterstream Media, and powered by Wildseeds Fund.
