With guests including activists, journalists, and scholars, the podcast offers deep insights into important issues that are often overlooked. It explores the devastating landscapes of war, the role of ecofeminism in the Arab context, and the possibility of ecological transition under various governance systems. “Environmental Jalsa” consists of 5 “talk-show-like” episodes and is under ARI’s Environmental Politics Program umbrella.
