These Climate Change Podcasts Hosted by Women Will Amaze You!

Climate change is as real as the earth we live on, and it’s happening right now! The truth is, each one of us needs to act responsibly and as soon as possible to reverse centuries of damage caused by humans.

According to the UN, Oxfam, and others, climate change is going to affect more women than men. Natural disasters often lead to extreme poverty, which in turn affects the living conditions of women more than their male counterparts.

It’s, therefore, crucial for females to speak up about how to mitigate the effects of global warming and secure a better future for themselves. Here are some podcasts doing just that:
