Send us a text

Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of climate justice in this episode of the Heliox Podcast. Our hosts dive into how climate change affects different communities unequally, from urban heat islands to global food security. Through engaging conversation and real-world examples, they unpack how historical inequalities, socioeconomic factors, and political systems all play a role in who bears the heaviest burden of our changing climate. But it's not all challenges – you'll also discover practical ways to be part of the solution, from local community action to global advocacy. Whether you're new to climate justice or deeply involved, this episode offers fresh perspectives on building a future that works for everyone. Part of a special three-part series on climate change and health, this discussion bridges the gap between understanding climate impacts and taking meaningful action.

This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.

Thanks for listening today!

Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
