The Great Extinction: Trump & the Threat of Climate Collapse I In conversation with Harjeet Singh
In this episode, climate justice advocate Harjeet Singh examines the current political moment as a “full throttle return to fossil capitalism.” He discusses how the undermining of climate diplomacy and the rollback of regulations, particularly under the Trump administration, are creating a new era of “green colonialism.” Harjeet highlights the fragility of multilateralism and the need for a global response that is rooted in justice, equity, and South-South solidarity.
Tune in as Harjeet shares his insights on what is needed to move beyond technical solutions and build a powerful pushback against political regression, demanding climate reparations and justice.
