040- COP26 Coalition with Shaira Begum

Welcome back to The Earth Sea Love Podcast.

We are excited to bring you another mini series of specially commissioned episodes which explore climate justice and decolonisation of the environmental and conservation movement.

Created and specially commissioned in collaboration with Northumberland National Park Authority's Future Landscapes Festival, which focuses on ‘Nature, People, Climate, Place’, explores how England’s precious landscapes serve people, nature, industry, and climate.

It will include an exhibition, and a series of thought-provoking discussions and experiences designed to prompt people to think about the role landscape plays in their lives, and what they want the landscape in Northumberland National Park to look like in the future.

With our podcast episodes, we aim to bring diverse and critical voices to the table of discussions an decision making.
