The Minority Earth is a podcast that views the planet through the lens of minority experiences, especially in relation to climate, justice, and sustainability. Join us for regular deep dive into the struggles, contributions and perspectives of marginalised groups/individuals.

In this episode, host Abiola Durodola is joined by Nick Cullen, an activist and organiser who has worked within the Climate Justice and Migrant Justice space. Together, they discussed the intersection between climate crisis and migrant justice, the current concerns of minoritised communities regarding environmental injustice as well as the growing intersection of climate denialism and anti-immigrant sentiment among right-wing movements in Scotland and the UK.

In this episode, host Abiola Durodola is joined by Zarina Ahmad, a leading climate justice and race‑equality activist and the Co-director of Women Environmental Network (WEN) whose work has transformed how ethnic minority communities engage with environmental issues in Scotland and across the UK. They both explored the importance of building intersectional network to address systemic injustices and how she has mobilised communities that are routinely excluded from environmental conversation to stand for themselves.

In this episode, host Abiola spoke with Camilo Brokaw and Abhinav Ojha on the need to address polarisation and inequality regarding nature and energy access in Scotland.

They touched on the need to mobilise community action if we want to achieve inclusive climate action and a truly just transition, and explained how CEMVO‘s new environment project, ‘Mobilising Community Action Scotland (MCAS)’, will be pivotal in achieving these goals.
