In a world with a rapidly changing climate, this new three-part series podcast explores the intersectional realities of those most impacted. From toxic air to rising sea levels and the cost of the green transition, each episode delves into communities' struggles, victories, and the broader fight for climate justice.
Whose planet? is brought to you by Systemic Justice, an NGO working to radically transform how the law works for communities fighting for racial, social and economic justice.
It is hosted by Nani Jansen Reventlow, founder of Systemic Justice, and produced by Tortoise Media.
When it comes to tackling the climate crisis, some governments have recognised the scale of the issue. But what happens when you don’t put justice at the centre of green policies? This episode looks at the transition to net zero, and what needs to be done to ensure that everyone benefits from a more sustainable environment.
This episode explores these inequalities, hearing from communities who are disproportionately negatively impacted by green solutions. These include the Sámi Reindeer population standing up to governments to protect the land they have used for centuries to herd their reindeer, and disability activists fighting to cooperate internationally against the marginalisation of disabled people in policy spaces.
Guests:
Beaska Niillas, politician, Sámi Parliament
Eva Fjelheim, researcher, journalist, activist
Matti Blind Berg, Chairman, Swedish Sámi Association and reindeer herder
Anna Landre, disability justice activist and scholar
Magda Boulabiza, policy and advocacy adviser at the European Network Against Racism

Lost at sea: what happens when your home is at risk from rising sea levels?
Low-lying islands are on the frontline of the climate crisis. Island communities and their cultures are at risk of being lost due to rising sea levels, driven by the actions and failures of the Global North.
In this episode, you’ll hear from the campaigners in the Caribbean island of Bonaire, who are holding the Dutch government to account to protect their land and cultural heritage. We’ll consider the racism inherent within the climate crisis, and the climate justice organisers that are fighting against this. And we’ll discuss the intersection between climate disaster and disability rights.
Guests:
Danique Martis, social worker and community organiser, Bonaire
Onnie Emerenciana, owner of Kunuku farm, Bonaire
Michai Robertson, Research Fellow, Climate and Sustainability, Overseas Development Institute
Erica Njuguna, youth climate justice organiser, Nairobi
Tatu Hey, climate justice organiser, Berlin
Julia Watts Belser, Professor of Religious Studies and Disability Studies, Georgetown University

The air we breathe
Air is obviously vital: we need it to survive. But not everybody breathes the same air. Across the globe, marginalised communities are forced to breathe poor quality air and face the consequences. This episode looks at how poverty, race and class intersect when it comes to air pollution, what needs to be done to clean up the air in our cities, and how communities and campaigners are fighting back.
Guests:
Rosamund Kissi-Debrah, founder, The Ella Roberta Foundation
Love Ssega, musician and activist
Terezia Rostas, founder, Care for young people’s future

Introducing "Whose planet?"
The climate crisis is not a distant danger but a lived reality for countless communities, with its harshest effects falling on society’s most vulnerable. From worsening air quality to rising sea levels, the unequal burden of environmental degradation is clear—yet those most impacted are often the least heard.
